Feature Changes

- In-game chat is now saved in replays. Note: whispers are not saved.
- Hitting the Escape key while in the chat room will clear your typed text.
- "/reply" (or just "/r") will send a whisper to person who most recently whispered you.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed localization issues with "from" and "to" in whispers.
- Starcraft now only uses as much CPU as it needs to run smoothly.

Exploits

- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to gain minerals through mutations.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to recycle an upgrading building.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to extend their creep with a drone.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to move Drones over impassable terrain.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Terran players to drop a nuke anywhere on the map.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed players to pause the game while in the pre-game lobby.

Bugs Introduced
- It thinks you're sending a reply when you put any character followed by r and a space... for example: "or that" would be processed as a reply saying "that". Note that this only works in the channels, not in the pre-game lobby or in-game.

A useful patch was long overdue. Thanks Blizzard!

They took the "/r" feature from oblivion.

I've seen it in tons of places with chats.... even MUDs.
And I'm sure a MUD would pre-date Oblivion.

/r was there from a long time ago. I hope they re-add the /rejoin feature. I'm glad they added the chat though.

Also, yes, this is a long overdue patch. I can finally get rid of oblivion, now that useful features have been implemented.

Chat is replays is sexy!

I found a glitch. Type "or hi" and it whipsers a random person "hi".
Note: you can type anything after or.
Edit: Damn, Moose beat me to it by editing Falks post.

Ps: My first word i typed using the new patch was "or" so i new about it 1st.

Stupid bugs from Patch Updates....
Never can we start a sentence with "or" again. Or finish a sentence (lol).

On WCIII, when you type "/r" the "r" becomes a "w" right after you hit the space button.

Hopefully is didn't change any Eud addresses.

It's fucking laggy is what it is.

Great, Stealthbot hashes are rescrambled.
EUD is rescrambled.
And Lag is intense.

Not here.

Way around the bug:
Type . before the start of every reply that consists of the "Bug"

Or you could just put a space.

Blizzard's response to the new patch: "Fuck you again, DoA."

Now, text within the replays would definitely help with recording mod nights.

Or make map night more INVIGORATING!

Yes lol, now you can just upload the replays!!

Checked my map and the euds in it still work fine, haven't had any lag either.


As long as theres an 'r' as the second letter in your message it reads it as /r, seems like someone was lazy when adding the new command.
