however, i have one feature im a little bit unsure about:
i want to create an external ladder
since bank file only work for saving in extension mods, thanks to a known but unfixed bug, this would work this way:
- game writes a bank file
- tiny client running in the background uploads bank file to central server
- when player wins another bank file is created and uploaded
- ladder is calculated on the server
im fairly confident i can do this, however the central question im unsure about is:
is this legal or against blizzard ToS?
if anyone knows for sure, plz let me know, either here or on www.heptacraft.com

Probably worth PM'ing KorvinGump ... he did this for years - and only just shut down in the last few weeks: http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/resources/third-party-tools/56174-gump-stats-application-to-sync-bank-stats-with-server/
