Ok everyone, I have finally got off my butt to complete BNGE v2.0, Warcraft III does not seem to like how BNGE saves the registry key, I cannot fix this.

When/if I do fix any bugs, you can download the update by just running BNGE v2.0, if you have automatic updates disabled, you goto the Settings tab and click Check for Updates. If it is required to quit BNGE, you will be notified and BNGE will quit, also when it quits it will open it’s program folder.

Any updates are saved to Update.zip, you should remove everything from the current folder and extract this zip to that same folder, this ensures that the update will be applied. For your Settings.bnge, you may leave this here, the new version should read it just fine.

When my website is down, automatic updates will be disabled, if you didn’t even think of this, your an idiot.

BNGE v2.0 is not under any license or warranty, after downloading you are in charge of it’s usage. If BNGE gives you problems, you should remove BNGE, you should also report the problem to me so I can try to fix it, after using BNGE and your computer is not in a healthy state, you should also remove BNGE.

BNGE will not run in MS-DOS mode (not Command Prompt, but the actual DOS mode), BNGE is a desktop application, meaning it should be ran when you are not in DOS mode.

BNGE will try to save it’s files to it’s current folder, this will cause problems with Windows Vista, you should give BNGE proper permissions.

Enough of all that stuff, let’s get to the features / bug fixes…
- Rewrote BNGE from the ground up.
- A new tabbed interface.
- Settings are now saved in BNGE’s current folder.
- Warcraft III support has been added.
- A starcraft previewer has been added.
- A built-in updater has been added.
- The last character of the last server is no longer removed (it was a bug).
- The server lists use the same selection as Blizzard’s games.
(e.g. U.S. West is selected in one of Blizzard’s games, that same server will also be selected in BNGE).
- The main window has been shrunk (it’s now smaller then before).
- Starcraft codes are now like Oblivion’s codes instead of actual codes, however the codes are not case-sensitive (\R and \r will both work).
- A program icon has been added, hope everyone likes it.

BNGE will not run on a Macintosh, BNGE was built for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista. BNGE will not run on Linux (why would you think it would run on Linux anyway?).

If you use BNGE on Vista, BNGE may look weird and you will not be able to fix this. If you use BNGE on XP, and it DOES look weird, you can fix this by changing your theme to Windows Classic, the scheme does not matter.

Thanks for using BNGE instead of the others!

HackDetector 0.1
by MasterOfChaos

Atm it finds the following exploits
-Zerg Mineralhack
-Nuke anywhere
-Multicommand
-Automine at the start of the game
I want to add detection for the rally-exploit but need a replay where it is used for that.

Multicommand
It now checks for a command alternating with select. If this happens at least 3 times(corresponds to 3 control groups being commanded) it displays a message. I’m not sure if there are occasionally false positives.

Automine
Automine consists of fours selects alternating with gaters/moves to different targets in the first possible frame(5 on bnet, 2 on LAN). Detecting these is similar to multicommand, except moves with different target are also considered here.

Nuke anywhere
Whenever an opponent selects a nuke you get a message. As selecting a nuke is required for nuke anywhere exploit and not possible without a hack it should work reliably.

Zerg mineralhack
It shows a message if a CancelTrain command is given to a zerg larva. There might be other variants of this hack (related to muta->guard/devourer and hyd->lurker), so if you find a replay where a minhack is not detected post it here.

Set enemy Rallypoint
AdvLoader 2.0 allowed observers to change the rallypoints of enemy buildings. For 1.15.2 there are hacks which allow the same for every player/observer. Unfortunalty I have found no replay of this exploit, so detection is still missing for that exploit.

If you have a replay where the opponent uses an exploit which is not detected by this detector please post a replay here. Rigged UMS maps do not count as an exploit.

Download and usage
Now it is a plugin. Copy it to your Launcher folder and check it in the plugin list.

As usual blizzard might ban you for using this. The chance for that is a bit higher that with chaosplugin, and about the same as LatencyChanger or any of the AdvLoader plugins.

————————-
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>/
