well I did all the steps, all works greate, when I go with Lazylauncher to watch replays i get error : Unable to open map. how to solve this?

as in installed everything played against AI, took LTv2.0 to watch replays, went to the recent folder of replays and - it loads and then I get that error.  Further more so - the menu button was then gone and I could not exit Sc2 by normal means (esc or f10), had to tab out and right click close it.
1. If you talk about replays with AI you need to do something in plus, a thing that I don't know (is something about making some folders in the cache, i will it search for that thread).
2. You can also push ALT+F4, works better.


Seems like it, cause when I tried just normal replay (the ones that come with the chace, map and replay torrent) it loaded, but I got an error sayins Replay Desync with option to Leave the game


It had the SCv5.1 line of :prepare to get terrible terrible damage bla bla thingy also there.... so....

I made the cache for these maps, you might be able to views replays on them now.

*Edit I think you have to launch the maps from that folder, but I'm not positive.

Mhh...I will it see if I can open the replays even if I don't play the maps from there. I will it choose the normal ones.

- AI Maps cache :

Cache does not contain all the same files as AI maps does... e.g. blistering sands is missing from cache.....

Solution here:

Put your maps into the caches download folder, and it seems to be much easier to work with. Also it is really annoying having /00/12/ kind of folders. The Downloads one makes more sense. I am doing some more tests with it atm, but I also made some special maps, so we can see each others replays, just like we might do with your mappack there. Except we wont need special AI cache. Maybe even no cache at all, but at least I am sure that the official cache would be enough.
Some maps I made: (Okay I edited them, the real makes was Blizzard, and the ones making them useful for us have credits there)...:
http://dionysus.dk/SC2/Maps%20with%20Starcrack%20V6%20AI/
They have Starcrack AI v6 normal built into them. The upside is changing AI wont be a problem to come when trying to watch old replays. The downside is each AI will need its own map pack, which is about 18 mb each. So we might end up needing to make subfolders in the cache/download folder at some point to make things easier. Or just have lots and lots of AI maps there :)

By-Passing Battle.net does work with the latest patch? I haven't been able to do it by following the steps described here.

I followed all of the instructions here as closely as I could with a windows xp, but every time I use the lazylauncher 2.0 the map loads, but it's just me and no enemies. It causes me to win as soon as I load the map. Did I do something wrong? I tried downloading the gui but I always get an error that says the application generated an exception that could not be handled. I get that for a lot of different applications, though. I believe my .net framework isn't being recognized by my computer since I reinstalled it several times, but that's another problem. Is there something I can do to bring in the ai to the game?
