————————-
Please post your ideas, discuss or report bugs at the forums at clawsoftware.de.This is a beta test. Please test the program on different pcs, different configurations, color settings, drivers etc and report back any crashes, bugs etc. Try out many different, especially unusual goal lists to test the core, let the program run some hours, change the settings, etc.
Please do not mess with the data files, the loading routines do not take notice of every error. In the worst case the programm will probably crash.

The program simulates an abstract StarCraft : Broodwar environment, calculates the time a certain build order needs and optimizes randomly created build orders to a given goal list using evolutionary algorithms.
Mouse commands:
– LEFT BUTTON: activates buttons and adds items
– RIGHT BUTTON: removes items (units) or adds very many items (+/- buttons)
While you can do everything with the mouse there are some Keyboard shortcuts:
– SPACE: deactivate drawing (less CPU usage / faster calculation)
– ALT + ENTER: switch between fullscreen and window mode
– ESC: quits the program without saving
– PAUSE: stop/continue calculation
Also the program produces an output:
– Saving/Loading: Saved build orders are placed in output/bos/
/, goals are placed in settings/goals/<the race>/

Evolution Forge consists of 3 parts:
– SDL (LGP License) (http://www.libsdl.org)
– SDL TTF (LGP License) (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/)
– Evolution Forge (see below)
There were no other libraries (except the C++ standard libraries) used.

* You may not use Evolution Forge for any direct commercial use.
* You may use Evolution Forge for Entertainment, Scientific Interest or Education purposes.
* You are allowed to make as many copies as you wish as long as you do not change any of the files (except all files in settings) and always distribute all files together.
* You may distribute any of the files in “settings” and “output” as you wish as long as you do not remove the link to www.clawsoftware.de or as long as you provide a link to www.clawsoftware.de yourself.

Also notice that the SDL.dll is patched. If you want to use a different SDL version make sure you have the latest patches availible. I did apply a patch and removed some MMX code of the source to allow MinGW to compile it.

Battle.net Encrypted Chat
===========================

Instructions:

1. Extract “BNet Encrypted Chat.exe” and “config.txt” to a folder.

2. Run it.

3. (Optional but recommended) Set your encryption key.
Type anything 8 characters long in the text box and hit the “Change” button.

4. Tell your friend(s) what your encryption key is so they can decrypt
your messages.

5. Type your message as you normally would, but hit the
right shift button to encrypt and send.

Battle.net Encrypted Chat automatically decrypts incoming
encoded messages while leaving unencoded messages intact.
Encoded messages are written in green.

Limitations:

This program only works in the Battle.net channels,
not in the pregame lobby or in-game.

To do so, open BWChart v1.03G, go to “Options” and “Other Options.” Change the “Suspicious events” field to “Ignore events after: 2000 minutes instead of minutes (default).” Reload BWChart to refresh. Now BWChart will mark any selection of an opponent’s unit as suspicious. When you reload BWChart, go to “Charts” and uncheck all the boxes in the bottom left box instead of “Suspicious” and you should see suspicious events in red.

Lack of any suspicious actions is what is actually suspicious though. When doing this it is important to remember that just because a player has 0 suspicious actions does not mean they are hacking in this game, although the longer the game the stronger evidence it is.

Things to keep in mind:

1. One single replay, especially under 15 minutes, is not solid proof. The proof percentages increase exponentially with multiple games or games played in a series, preferably over 15 minutes.

2. To combat the “I am just a person who never clicks!” defense, find multiple replays of games where the player has many suspicious actions. This should not be hard to find.

Now that this replay method is released, there will be idiots who throw hack accusations back and forth based on one 5 minute replay with no clicks. Please just ignore them, and recognize that the proofs below were done with hours of work and hundreds of replays.

Select every Folder you want to include in your search in the left part of the programm. With a click on the “Start search” button, the programm starts to gather every replay in those folders, and tries to detect player with no selection. ONLY games > 12 minutes are included into this hunt, you can edit the value in the ini though.

When the Hunter is done (depending on the number of replays, it may take several minutes), you get the results in the right part. Green indicates no hack, even if there are 3 no select reps, its no proof! Yellow Names _may_ be hacker, and red names have a high rep possibility.

By doubleclicking a name with more than 0 no selection reps, a list with filenames will be shown. Doubleclick one of those reps, and it will be loaded into BWChart, if its installed on your computer.

THIS IS A BETAVERSION, there may be bugs, so please check every possible hackrep with bwchart too!

_________
Known bugs: There may be a crash bug with some special replays. I’m still searching for the reason for this. Maybe update soon.
1.01 – Memorybug fixed
