Chaoslauncher 0.4 released

Some of you may start to miss all the nice feature that were once offered by Czech Republ- Ashur`s BWLauncher and all his work for the community but there are always new people trying to make some nice programs and I don`t mean hacks but legit programs that add some comfort for us. One of the most missed features of the old BWLauncher, the automatic replay function was already added to the iCCup Launcher.

The Chaoslauncher not only offers an APM counter and alarm but also you can disables Capslock and the Windows key in game for all those who don`t want to remove their keys like i did or have an expensive keyboard. Its creator Germany MasterOfChaos also added a windowed mode for Starcraft for all those of you who want to do something else with there monitor while playing Starcraft.

Also some other things for an improved compatibility were included, here`s an overview

  • Additional BattleNet functions in channels (search players, save b.net logs, etc)
  • APM Live (also in replays)
  • Low level APM alarm
  • Auto-replay saver
  • Disables Win-Key and Capslock
  • Allows a different mouse speed in Starcraft
  • Plays a sound when a player joins your game
  • Windowed mode for Starcraft
  • No .NET framework required (so probably compatible with Win9x, not yet tested)
  • Requires less RAM and starts faster
  • You can add your own tools to its Trayicon
  • Directlinks to the TvAnts streams from SC2.org and YaoYuan (no Internet Explorer required)

If you have the need for one these features, Download Chaoslauncher 0.4 or if you need a first impression have a look at my desktop!

ChaosLauncher works fine, but when i click "Start" nothing happens :O I also tried with No-Cd.

this new blizz patch might have overwritten all this chaosplugin work :/ and it would be good to have iCCup launcher merge with BWLauncher :)
I'll be nicer when you're smarter.

Some clearifications:
Chaoslauncher itself does not offer additional features to SC. These features are offered by other plugins most of which are not created by me. You can use any BWLauncher4 compatible plugin. It is a replacement for BWLauncher, not Penguinplugin.

APM-Live (by Tec27) works with 1.15.2 if you check the "Run if incompatible" checkbox for this plugin. It seems the changes were minor enough so the required offsets didn't change. Hopefully he will release an official 1.15.2 version soon.

W-Mode (by Xenotron) works with all SC versions.

Chaosplugin is also included with ICCup launcher, so you have the same features with the same settings there.

@scorpion: Probably your SC-Path is not correctly set. Check it in the settings tab. You can recognize this problem by the empty versionlist on the right of the Start-Button.

About ICCup: In theory it already works if you copy iccscbn.icc renamed to iccscbn.bwl to the launcher directory as long as you only load plugins compatible with the Antihack. But it is not officially supported (yet) and can result in an ICCup-Ban if you enable the wrong Plugins (ie APM-Alert)
