to load an image: 1) save it as BMP format in the folder where bcoverlay is located. for example "image.bmp" 2) start a bcoverlay instance and press F7 3) enter "image.bmp" without the quotes 4) press F7 again -> image should load 5) to hide the image press F8 please, note that F12 will simply stretch the overlay to fit the desktop. more general info in the "readme.txt" file size of the executable is still under 25kb (can be brought down more) -- enjoy ;-) | ||

loading an image will always fit the current window size. if ` (tilde) is pressed the window size will match the loaded image size. (edit) note on f10 vs f11 from "readme.txt":
an example for using f10 is when an overlay is placed near the edge of broodwar in w-more. with mouse events for the overlay disabled, mouse scroll in the game screen for example will work _bellow_ the overlay. -- | ||

Edit: double-click to edit text seems to be broken in the new version. F2 still works. | ||

@nanashin issue fixed in v0.4b:
tip: to change the font press f9, enter any font name from the windows "fonts" folder (e.g. Times New Roman, Verdana, Courier New) and press f9 again. -- | ||

here is another small update (v.0.42, link in first post):
the undo is very primitive at this stage. can be extended later on to restore all parameters up to a number of undo stages. todo: basic timer functionality. -- | ||

a bit more info on scripting: scripting video demo: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28720954/bcoverlay_pos_demo.gif scenario: assuming that a caster does not change his streaming settings much (e.g. vscrcap rectangle is fixed for all casts), basically once you have created your overlay setup as well, go trough all the overlays, press f5 and copy the command line to a new cmd file (e.g. myset0.cmd) and save it where "bcoverlay.exe" is. example: this example creates a nice overlay setup (but note that it places the score board near the 0, 0 coordinate).
^ changing the numbers in the end of the cmd line will change the x, y coordinates. if you want to shift the entire score board to the 50, 50 coordinate simply add 50 to all the numbers. becoming 50, 50; 50, 66; 150, 66...etc more info on cmd line can be found in "readme.txt" result: ![[image loading]](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28720954/bcoverlay_test_set0.png) cheers | ||

Not sure if you're still around or even tinkering with BCoverlay anymore, but if you are, is there any possibility of you making future iterations of the overlay support gif, namely the animated sort? | ||

the default performance hasn't changed, but rendering of multi-frame images (e.g. animated GIF) is a resource hungry operation in general. all memory is released properly and also i've tried optimizing as much as possible. the performance over here is similar to the default "picture and fax viewer" in windows xp, i think. "loading a gif" - demo (12mb): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28720954/bcoverlay_loading_a_gif.gif cheers - | ||

Is this usuable in normal starcraft? I stream the old school way (camtasia + FMLE) so I can play/cast in fullscreen. Didn't seem to be able to get it to work but maybe I just have zero idea what I'm doing. | ||
