So how's the new GUI coming with race selection? Says it's going to be out today, correct?

Race selection works, and yes val plans to have this released today
putting the GUI together is the only thing left to do

What do you mean?
Flash works perfectly in vb.net.

well, I've never used vb.net until i picked up on this project, so i wouldn't know ^_^
I've used VB6 for the past 4 years

the application is in vb.net, so im not sure where Flash would fit in..unless it was web based, but that would involve rewriting it

"Valkirie button restore mb must be always clickable? And you need to choose a map and AI to push this button - it is not convenient."

good point, forgot to update this, but will do for today's release

Also, changing the launcher icon is a good idea

I have good news, type/race/color selection are functional!

please give more suggestions for 0.21

@BT

like i posted earlier, i promise tomorrow's release (0.21) will have color/race selection, most of the code is already written, the only other thing with that to do is to make combo boxes for the selections

remember, 0.20 is still the official current version

i think the b.net look is the best idea
thanks for the suggestion.

Popularity doesn't seem to change from map to map neither do the gold stars but otherwise seems to run just fine

i re-uploaded 0.20a, try it out


.exe only
http://echostorms.net/SC2/release0.20a.rar 308 KB

skinning would be pretty easy to do

anyway, does it seem to run better now? i fixed up it quite a good bit. focused on cleaning up the code and optimizing it a bit

oh well, here is a preview release

.exe only
http://echostorms.net/SC2/release0.20a.rar 308 KB

i got a friend to screenshot with vista, check it again

thanks for all the suggestions, like i said, it was just an idea.

Taking out the background graphics was an idea to reduce the file size.

as for the appearance of the buttons, they are dependent on your windows theme setup.  My theme is set to "Windows classic", its the old win95/98 look, that is why they appear like plain buttons

As for the Upload Selected Map button, it used to be a combo box with Yes and No.  Val said in only a few days, 700MB worth of maps were uploaded!  So it appears to be a highly used feature.

Some good news is that val is making progress with race/color selection.

I have an idea to release a small update tonight but I am still not sure, mostly because the new UI is not liked.  I did feel that it could be better organized though.

We are trying to consider all suggestions, so it is mostly up to you guys if you want a graphical interface or plain one.
I personally favor plain as possible so the tool can be "lite" and feature rich

just wanted to say 0.21 is looking very nicely
val went to bed, and he left me to work on it

im working on cleaning it up a bit, while he is working on making it possible to select color, race, etc. 

I thought of maybe making it look like this, but of course its not certain
plz give suggestions

looks like the server was down, but thanks for all the bug reports, 0.21 will be smooth sailing
=)

AlexALX, thanks alot for reporting this, i examined the issue myself and it definitely does appear to be a problem!  I don't think its a memory leak, but just that the client is failing to clean up
