MLS:2 will feature a program that must be downloaded and ran by all league members to play. This program will act as a queue per se, where you click a button and get added to the queue. Once 4 or more people have entered the queue, it will randomize the teams and create a game.

After you have played the game, you will enter your own stats into the program individually. The stats will get added to the game database within the program. The program will also feature the ability to paste your screenshot in it to easily read your stats and import them, as well as a button that you, click that takes you to this forum to create a new post and attach your screenshot to confirm the stats from that game.

The program will also have a leaderboard tab where you can see up to date standings for yourself as well as everyone else in the league.

The program is still in the development stage, but should be ready by the time Starcraft Remastered drops. Still working out our ideas and how we think it should run as well. Any ideas ideas toy have for the program, feel free to express them here.

We will need some beta testers for the program eventually so let me know if you're interested.

Any questions or comments, feel free to leave them here as well.

Special thanks to Damein for creating the program.

So in short, with using the program, creating and submitting a game is easy.

1. Load program
2. Queue for game
3. Play randomized game.
4. Paste screenshot of final statistics into program.
5. Save screenshot.
6. Type out your individual kills deaths flags bonuses into program based on screenshot.
7. Submit statistics.
8. Click button to post screenshot on forums.
9. Upload screenshot to website and post screenshot link/image. (Only 1 person from winning team needs to do so.
10. Queue for game again.

Couple questions:

4. Everyone must submit their own screenshot into the program after each match?

5. Save screenshot for personal proof?

8. This button will auto post the screen shot to the forums?

9. Same as 8? What if none of the people in the game submit the screen shot to the forum. Say everyone forgets. Is progression lost?


Thanks


edit: In short it all seems relatively easy though. Looking forward to this.

4 and 5. The program will allow you to paste the screenshot into it so you can view the screenshot and type in the statistics without opening another program such as ms paint. Only 1 person from the winning team has to save the screenshot and post it to the forums with the window of who is what color in the screenshot as well.

8. The button will open up a new topic on the forums as well ss type in the game id and relevant information nesserary. You only have to include the link tov where you uploaded the screenshot.

9. If everyone forgets to take a screenshot in game, they can take a screenshot from the replay or from their recording.

Idk how that would be possible without reading sc memory and possibly getting banned in Remastered. Definitely don't want that to happen.

That was an idea we had but we have to wait until remastered is released and bwchart is updated.

A simpler solution in to set the program to grab "lastreplay" from your ac folder and we can go from there if bwchart doesnt work.

*this to add on and not be vague*

Another thing is, i dont think you can upload pictures directly to the forum.

You will need a third party program or imgur as a middleman to transfer them to the forum.

Well yes. You post the link to where the screenshot was uploaded. But if we are able to read from replays then there is no need to post a screenshot.

Forgot to mention, the screenshots saved by the game isnt even .jpg or .bmp. .PCX is a bitch.

Does the program fully integrate with the client?

Allowing access to grab certain files such as SS and replay at the moment?

Load broodwar automatically when game/player is found?

Plays a sound/notification when a player logs in?

Automatically directs to file hosting for downloading other softwares such as map, recording device.

Those are all great ideas, but unsure if they will work with dameins application. He would be the better person to ask.
