A new plugin interface!
Java Developers, fire up your IDEs! You can now write plugins and extensions for Sc2gears.
More: Plugin interface
Forum: Sc2gears developer forum
New tool: Plugin manager
The Plugin manager can be used to see what plugins you have installed, you can see details/properties of the plugins, and you can enable/disable them one by one or all with a click.
A new "Check plugins" diagnostic task checks if all enabled plugins have been started successfully.
New tab in the Multi-replay analysis: Chat words
This tab shows a table of the chat words used by the player in the replays.
The table shows the occurrence of the words, the number of replays they were used in, % of all replays they were used in, first and last dates they were used.
This Chat statistics is calculated for all players in all replays, and also for each player separately.
Profile info is now taken from the Battle.net instead of Sc2ranks.com.
What does this mean?
Must faster profile info access
Less downtime (Battle.net servers are available most of the time)
The retrieved profile info is always up-to-date (not like in the case of sc2ranks.com where profile data may even be several weeks/months old)
You don't have to register or add your account to see profile info (Sc2ranks only provided info about players being in their database)
New setting: Auto retrieve extended profile info
If this is checked, extended profile info is automatically retrieved along with the profile info.
Extended profile info contains all leagues (all team info) of a player (not just the best leagues).
The extended profile info is retrieved after base profile info is ready (and displayed), and it happens in the background.
Sc2gears is now aware of the Season #3 start date.
Updated the replay parser engine to be able to parse replays where lag hack was used.
Other minor changes and improvements.
