switched installation to from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
added a force update file that guarantees a reset installation when necessary
parameters may now even be passed after the replay argument

v1.20

Fixed a bug that caused problems running RoC replays.

v1.19

Fixed a bug that caused a wrong patch detection for 1.14b replays

v1.18

added the possibility to run Warcraft III in windowed mode (right click -> run windowed mode)
added support for replays < 1.07 (fixed a few crashes)
updated the patch.mpq file (now it supports all Warcraft III version (from 1.00 to 1.26)

v1.17

Added the possiblity to process replays <1.07. Also RoC replays are now supported (caused some crashes).

v1.16

Fixed a bug that forced RK to crash. Wrote to unallocated memory sometimes when player names needed to be changed. Added that player names with blanks in it are not detected as asian/russian letters ;)

v1.15

added the possibility to activate life bars permanently in old Warcraft III replays
added that unreadable names get replaced by: "Player" + their slot number
fixed a message that always said that a CD is required, even if the NO CD ReplayKitPatch.mpq was used

v1.14

Fixed a bug that caused RK to crash, when it tried to save a new found map to the extern table.

v1.13

Adjusted the patch recipe structure. Forced some crashes on patch 1.12 and 1.13. Finishing alpha testing phase of new expansion ReplayKit.

v1.12

Added that the user gets notified when a CD is required for the new patch. Fixed a bug where the recovery failed when the ReplayKitPatch.mpq was missing. W3GPC is saving war3patch.mpq now uncompressed to speed up computation (10MB additional memory required, 2-4secs less patching).

v1.11

Updated the patch selection algorithms and some text messages. Fixed a bug, where Warcraft III gets detected in a wrong folder. Added that after finishing with Warcraft III it gets patched back automatically.

v1.10

RK is now asking for admin rights when it's executed (Win7 demands special rights to write in certain directories. This usually also effects the Warcraft III folder, where patching needs to be done). Added that on installation a backup MPQ is created. Further more you can now via drag and drop start a recovery and/or get all maps parsed to the extern table details here
- - -

v1.09

Fixed a bug where building the patch files caused a crash due to unchecked null pointer exception. Updated the method that detects the current patch version (failed on patches < 1.20c).

v1.08

Expansion added. Program now is able to patch Warcraft III. Name changed to ReplayKit. Implemented the patch algorithm. All the required patch data was computed and stored in a MPQ file (computed with WC3PatchParser, got implemented for this case). Patching is dependant on the MPQ support file (the range of supported patch versions). Added the creation of a backup MPQ that stores all original files, to recover the original version.

v1.07

Added the possiblity to detect the Warcraft III Folder via drag and drop onto the EXE file. Made W3GPC compatible for parameters enclosed in inverted commas.

v1.06

Unified table search, added a new patch search, which will be used in the expansion program to detect maps of early patch versions. Fixed a bug where the path of a resolved map started with a backslash. That caused Warcraft III to reject the new built replay. Fixed a bug where a wrong path was passed to save a new checksum to the extern table. As a result the table couldn't save new checksums.

v1.05

Hardcoded table now includes all Warcraft III Patch 1.26 standard maps.

v1.04

Reworked hardcoded and extern tables. Patched a bug were old extern tables files couldn't be replaced which forced bugs in the computation of checksums. All tables now obtain patch independant checksums. Also the computation of the patch independant checksums was updated, since it had some major issues with maps that included common.j and/or blizzard.j scripts

v1.03

now map detection is compatible to all patch versions
fixed a bug in the test routine whether Warcraft III is already running or not
added that W3GPC allows only one instance (no multiple apps running at the same time)
fixed a map verification bug, where maps of the tables weren't checked for currency
code got completely reworked (with regard to the incoming expansion)
extern table files got a new header for version stability

v1.02

Added '(4)TurtleRock.w3x' and '(4)TwistedMeadows.w3x' to the hardcoded table (they were unintentional forgotten). Updated the synchronization-with-'Warcraft 3' method to make it even more comfortable to fix issues on that. Updated detailed guide on how to solve synchronization problems is here: solution guide

v1.01

Instead of just reading 'GamePath' reg key, it does now also consider 'ProgramX'. This was necessary because there were syncing problems on some computers, who didn't have 'GamePath'. Added a solution guide if this still doesn't work for you.

v1.00

W3GPathCorrector first released version.
