You guys are smearing my stuff! It's good, I promise. there is no "timing" memorized. It's just "as fast as I can that it'll still register."

it does. That was the signature. :p Maybe a better signature is in order? Any suggestions?

I drag select immediately after pressing P when sending probes to mine from nexus' (to select my probes). That's the only time I can think of for that that would be common at all, and it is probably a bad habit.

I would try it but you took down the link haha. I'm saying that I'm almost positive that I would use it, but that there should be an option to allow someone not to use it if it was built-in to the launcher. (Like how you can turn off autoreplay in chaoslauncher although very few people would ever want to do that).

Just tested, I don't think there's anyway anyone would be fast enough to override the drag select thing. The intermittent . is really really annoying.

Just release a version with no signature? That's pretty unusable for me if I can't use attack + left click on a unit --a
When I micro I use attack + left click on units, not right click

Nah, I'll wait for the unsigged version or a source release so I can remove the signature myself I play with BGHers, I have no desire to try to explain shit like that and be called a hacker.

e: I don't consider it a hack or cheating, but I also don't want to go around explaining shit like that, either.
e2: nevermind, I didn't just say that

Maybe you 1a2a3a4a slowly. I have a g15 and I run into this problem frequently.

You act as if there's some magic boundary between the computer and its peripherals that makes input modification on one side absolutely okay but a cardinal sin on the other. If a macro that gives you a click mouseup action is not okay, why is a good-quality mouse that's simply mechanically built to rebound quickly okay? It gives exactly the same advantage(actually moreso since it provides greater control.)

Not to mention that realistically this is completely undetectable if done right, so it's simply not feasible to enforce a ban on it in any online setting.

you got it exactly right. running scripts on the software side of things is hacking. having good physical hardware is not. of course there's 0 tolerance, of course it's a cardinal sin. as soon as we start running scripts to fix "a serious flaw in the way BW was programmed" what's next? fixing a serious flaw in how many units we can select? fixing a serious problem in only being able to run the game in a shitty low resolution? this is the best place to draw the line.

not to mention it's just terrible for the game if suddenly this rebound fix becomes so widespread that everyone is using it, forcing everyone else to get it etc. prisoner's dilemma. just because we could both run the script to improve our game doesn't mean we should. i like my starcraft the way it is right now thank you very much.

edit: "Not to mention that realistically this is completely undetectable if done right, so it's simply not feasible to enforce a ban on it in any online setting." hahahah omg you have to be kidding me. you're justifying using something simply because it's undetectable and unenforceable? awesome logic bro

You are a moron.

So you can buy your way out of a problem if you have the time and money and thats ok. But a simple fix that ANYONE CAN USE IF THEY CHOOSE TO is CHEATING AND HACKING AND BAD.

People like you who somehow think that the shitty programing in bw make the game what it is are fucking dumb.

How about we allow people on iccup to leave games before 2 minutes and not get a loss if you scout their cheese? AFTERALL BLIZZARD CODED 2 MINUTES INTO THE WIN/LOSS SCREEN.

You really must not understand what this does. Its making the fucking mouse work the way its supposed to. You have to run out and get the fix? No you dont......play on the fucked up coding if you want nobody is stopping you. Everyone plays on lan lat now. Did you bitch when you had to go out and download the iccup launcher or chaos?
