Chaoslauncher is a program which serves as a GUI for a number of Starcraft plugins. It supports plugins using the BWL4 format which fully integrate with the launcher, and DLLs which are directly injected into Starcraft.
To add the AdvLoader plugins simply install AdvLoader and they will show up in Chaoslauncher. Don't copy contents of "plugins" folder into Chaoslauncher's! You need Chaoslauncher 0.5.3 or above.
Some plugins need administrator privileges in order to work, most should work without though.

[edit] Using older Starcraft versions
First download the old Starcraft executables (See RepDepot on using old Versions).
Then extract these to your Starcraft directory.
After a restart Chaoslauncher displays all available versions in the combobox on the bottom.
[edit] Adding tools to the traymenu
You can add your own tools to the Chaoslauncher traymenu to make them easily accessible. You add these entries in the Tools tab of Chaoslauncher. Each tool consists of a name which gets displayed in the tray menu, the path to executable which should be opened, and a parameter string which gets passed to the executed tool.
You could also add the path to your LastReplay.rep to the parameter field, so BWChart automatically opens this replay.
[edit] Using the ICCup Antihack
First make sure you are using 0.5.2.2 and no earlier versions. Then copy the iccscbn.icc from the ICCup-Launcher directory to the Chaoslauncher directory. After a restart Chaoslauncher then shows a new version called ICCup 1.16.1 in the versionlist on the bottom. If you select this version only plugins compatible with ICCup can be enabled.
Warning: There is no offical permission by ICCup to use a different launcher than the offical ICCup-Launcher.
[edit] Developing Plugins
Currently there are two supported plugin types in Chaoslauncher. The first is BWL4 which has been created by Ashur for BWLauncher 4. The other is a simple dll which gets injected into Starcraft with a descriptor file. The api specifications for BWL4 are available on bwprogrammers.com.
