SC2SEA.com - Starcraft 2 SEA eSports Community Site

BETA: Replay Uploading Script
 

Back during the Wings of Liberty Beta, I advertised that I was looking for staff to help maintain a site I was putting together - http://www.SEA-Play.com, which was going to be a replay website focused around players in the SEA Community. The mission was simple: a user-driven replay hub of which staff/moderators could highlight the best games and showcase tournaments. Unfortunately, I only got a few nibbles from the community - most of which were inexperienced kids looking for opportunities to make a name for themselves.

And thus, due to travelling interstate for work for more than 2 weeks of each month over the course of 2010, SEA-Play was abandoned and I've since maintained the domain/server for nothing more than personal file storage.

Fortunately, with IPL4 Australia, WCG and TtCC wrapping up, I've bought myself a slight breather to "finish" this project off before things get crazy in about 2 weeks with ACL, Dox Cup #2 and so forth.

So I'm gonna try my best to complete the project - and bring it over to SC2SEA. As many people have recently suggested, one of the only limitations of SC2SEA is the Replay/File Management plugin. It's ugly, limited and doesn't offer much information.

What I need from the community, is for you guys to Beta test my Replay Parser and let me know what features you think it should contain.

Currently the raw script can be found here - and is available for testing:
http://sea-play.com/parser/upload_file.php

Ignore the DEBUG and TEST buttons - they're just for me.

Please try uploading various different replays and types of games and let me know your results. I need MASS data and MASS feedback to really drive this forward, so please - don't just upload a replay, think to yourself, "Cool", and close the tab. Let me know what you like. What you don't like. What you think is missing. What you think is unnecessary.

HOWEVER.

Please don't offer cosmetic suggestions! This is the RAW script, and definitely not the intended final design. When it is implemented, it'll be much prettier. Here's a sneak peak at what I have in mind:



A few final comments:

• I'll be implementing "League" functionality at some point, so you can specify which league each player is in.
• I'll be implementing an "events" dropdown also, so you can publish whether the game belongs to MLG, Dreamhack, IEM, etc.
• Ignore the events list, it'll be hidden on release.
• I'm looking for feedback on the build order log. How detailed do you think it should be? Should I cap it at 6 minutes or so? Let me know.

That's all for now, and thanks in advance for your help!

EDIT: Results should look something like this for now.
