A little tool called BWLauncher made the life of StarCraft gamers much more easier. Suddenly it was possible to see as an observer how many minerals a player has, what units he builds, replays were saved automatically and much more. But in early March we had a sad news. It all started with a somewhat “informative” article written by Ashur over at BWProgrammers.com entitled “The Rise and The Fall”:

“Many people are asking me how the BWTV project is. And many other people are asking for updates and bug fixes of the SCExtension. Sometimes I was nice, sometimes I was not that nice when I was answering the same questions over and over again.”

In his article, Ashur revealed the behind-the-scene details concerning the actual BWLauncher, with its creators, its ups and downs, while making it sound like a story. Then the bomb was thrown: Ashur decided to leave.

After Patch 1.15 was published, BWLauncher didn't work any longer, but then he created actually a new version: BWL4 beta 4.0.3.1. Though Patch 1.15 buried everything again.

Now the dark days are over and ADVLoader 2.0 is here, the plugin we waited months for. The ADV Plugin Manager is tested and was created by a guy called SmK over at reps.ru and has the following features:

• Works with ICCup Anti Hack
• Additional BattleNet functions in channels (search players, save b.net logs, etc)
• APM Live (also in replays)
• Show enemy's APM
• Low level APM alarm
• Timer (shows current game duration)
• Color corrector (Plugin allows to change in game brightness, contrast, hue)
• Hotkey selector (allows to show in replays the hotkeys of players
• Observer Mode (shows: mineral, gas, limit, progress bulding units, structures, upgrades; content of bunker and dropships, allows to show groups of the players)
• Auto-replay saver

Oh yes, you really need to have this great tool! Download ADVLoader 2.0 right now from the myMYM.com Server!
