Sc2gears 7.2

Post date: Jul 21, 2011 8:7:47 AM

• Plugin API 2.0

  • The Sc2gears Plugin API 2.0 allows to create more powerful plugins which better integrate into Sc2gears.

  • The main addition is that plugins can now take advantage of Sc2gears' most advanced SC2Replay parser engine, and they can also access profile info.

  • Plugin API 2.0 gives deep insight into replays' structures, advanced info and the actions of the players. Also provides numerous utilities to parse and process StarCraft II replays.

  • The javadoc (also available online) contains invaluable information and many example code snipplets.

  • An overview of the Plugin API 2.0 changes and additions:

    • A new interface to access the Replay parser engine: ReplayFactoryApi

    • A new interface to access profile info: ProfileApi

    • A new interface to interact with the Mouse print recorder: MousePrintRecorderApi

    • A new interface to access icons of different objects: IconsApi

    • Methods to add/remove diagnostic test factories (in the CallbackApi) to be executed by the Diagnostic tool

    • Methods to add/remove menu items to the new "Plugins" menu (in the CallbackApi)

    • Several new methods in many API files (for example InfoApi, LanguageApi and GuiUtilsApi)

• A new Build Orders Table plugin (with source code).

  • A demonstration plugin that adds a new "Show Build Orders Table" replay operations menu item which opens the Build orders table of the selected replay in a dialog.

  • Source code is available on the Sc2gears Downloads page inside the Sc2gears Plugin API archive.

  • The Plugin manager now handles incompatible plugins.

  • A new check box has been added to the Plugin manager where you can allow/disallow running incompatible plugins.

  • Plugins with version 1.x are now incompatible due to some structural changes, but they can be made compatible very easily (in 2 minutes).

  • A new menu: "Plugins"

  • Plugins can add/register menu items under this "Plugins" menu to give you access to their functionality.

  • The replay operations popup menu now shows the number of selected replays.

  • The Season #3 start date has been modified to July 26.

  • Changed the Terran Infernal Pre-igniter research icon according to Blizzard's new icon.

  • Major refactoring (due to the Plugin API 2.0) and other minor changes, fixes and improvements.
