Spreadsheet! Here's a Laundry List of things we need to decide/do before we release TheCore for beta: Nothing TheCore, the new layout developed in conjunction with FoxyMayhem (creator of DarkGrid), is now released in beta! This layout goes far beyond anything I've ever seen in layouts, and improves on JaKaTaK Righty in every way. It may see changes as this is our first pulic beta. If you're okay with that, and want to take your control to the next level and reduce wrist strain, dive in!   | ||

Not to undermine your efforts, but I hardly think this will be anything revolutionary. I'm not trying to hype it up man. People keep asking me when its going to come out. I'm just trying to help the people who are interested get a good idea of how much longer it will be. As far as how good the layout will be, we will have to wait and see. | ||

The reason I'm following this setup closely is because I'm switching to Zerg for a second time the second this comes out (no pun intended). I don't want to get used to backspace injects then have to switch to whatever the inject method is for this setup. No rush, though. Take your time, I only want to practice for TSL4 qualifiers. (jk) Too bad I can't help at all to speed it up, though. I'm not at all a programmer. | ||

I don't want to get used to backspace injects then have to switch to whatever the inject method is for this setup. Chances are like 100%that there will be the layered camera thing like in Darkgrid(it its not in i wont change form my actual mix of both:D). With those cameras you can use the method from Darkgrid which is the most exact method and after some practise as fast as the shitty basecam method. If u dont like it like that use TLO´s method, clicking on the minimap, thats the second very viable option and if u cant force u to look on the minimap while doing the other method its actually better to me, but thats personal preference only. Both you can practise already, i dont think that the motion itself will change a lot but still, try the minimap inject till its out and probably you will stick to it. If u want to basecam inject its even easier, there wont be a change because its only 1button to press(i put that button on my mouse while trying out that inject method)  No rush, though. Take your time, I only want to practice for TSL4 qualifiers. (jk) good luck there! Debug mass replay analyzer to recognize: If your totally out of time send me the code...i doubt that i can get into it fast with the shortage of time but seeing some different code then the stuff i have to code for tests in like 1month cant be bad, at least for my spirit cuz im getting sick of that tests based on total repetition but no time for even little mistakes  All Global Keys aside from Location Keys, Control Groups, and the Next Subgroup Button. IMO stay with a mix you feel good with, you cannot adjust efficienty with control groups and location keys since gameplay does change (at least till flash showed the one and only perfect play) and people play differently. Some will use the subgroup button only a few times, others use it a lot because they e.g. bind queens and all upgrade buildings in one controlgroup, same for terran and for toss i dunno i dont play silly op aliens | ||

good button to hit. I looked at the spreadsheet and it looks awesome! I'll try to manually input some commands into my hotkey setup so I can start testing this as Zerg ^^ | ||

I think that enter for chat is a waste of one of the most accesible keys that could be used for a save location or jumping between ccs/hatches/nexus. I would put chat on TAB BLOQ/ MAYUS as the hand falls to it naturally when you're going to type. Keep up the good work!!! what is tab bloq/ mayus. are you talking in qwerty terms or do you have a different keyboard, I'm confused. As far as enter for chat, it just lined up that way. F7 is a more efficient base camera, and all 8 location camera's are on much easier keys to hit than enter. Make sure your left hand is on JIOPshift, the escape side of the keyboard is tilted away from you, and your left arm is at a slight inward angle. If you curl your hand naturally it should follow the P;? angle. On May 29 2012 08:14 zeroISM wrote: I agree that Enter for chat is a waste. If that could be changed it would free up a really good button to hit. I looked at the spreadsheet and it looks awesome! I'll try to manually input some commands into my hotkey setup so I can start testing this as Zerg ^^ Enter is not actually as easy as it looks, it forces a lot of wrist rotation and finger displacement. We have been experimenting with pressing it with the thumb however. MANUALLY UPDATE YOUR LAYOUT FROM THIS SPREADSHEET AT YOUR OWN RISK. There will be changes to the layout, it is not complete yet, this is not as efficient as it will be once we run it through the ergonomic penalty vs keystroke frequency analyzer. You are of course welcome to do whatever it is that you want :D Enjoy. | ||

Fortuantely all of the game keys are placed on the easiest keys first, and the keys easier to press are used up before we got to the enter key so no problems there :D EDIT: working out the bugs in the analyzer now, hopefully we can catch em all! burrow/unburrow are done. The left handed version file is finished and I am testing it personally. The right handed version file should be complete today. Then all we have to do is tweak based on penalties, choose a name, and get the art/explanation done. Sooooooon :D :D :D | ||

hey um, is there a possibility that the magical analyzer you guys are using to be released? It would be good to use your method on other PC games as well :o | ||

I'll be making a 4th post in this blog series that announces the beta. For those of you who just want to try it in your normal style of playing, that's fine. But the data we're seriously looking to improve is the control group data, and to do that, we need people to set their control groups a particular way so that we can get consistent data to pull from. Anyone willing to do this for us would be helping us a lot. Thanks :D | ||

As far as the pinky is concerned, we literally made the change from I as attack on JIOP to J as attack yesterday. The reason for utilizing the pinky for attack is the same reason the same reason that build basic and advanced are in the corner and pressed with the thumb ( / and . ) This is to make key combinations as smooth as possible. The control groups combine better with J than they do with I which makes actions overall more comfortable and faster. Thanks for the question. We really look forward to the release. :D | ||
