wtf the spam...

You have added much to this thread with this post, thank you for your contribution. A shining example to hold up against those posters who have made a brief joke.


Your post was not a better example either

Anyway, is it possible to have keyboard shortcuts supported in the web interface? Like Alt+C to create a game, Alt+J to join, Alt+W to whisper... etc. Like they are in the current in game interface?

btw tec27, do I need a very GOOD GPU , to be likely picked for the closed beta or it doesnt really matter because its BW ?? I have like a intel HD graphics card(pretty bad but can still run BW).

You don't need a very powerful GPU. It needs to be newer than what you need for BW (since we're using newer APIs), but as long as it supports DirectX 10 or OpenGL 3.1, you're fine. (At this point, this is very common for the vast majority of users)


That's basically every GPU since the Intel HD 2000 which was used on the Sandy-Bridge range of CPUs so if you got a machine from 2011 or newer you're good (or even older ones in case of a dedicated graphics cards from Nvidia/AMD)

Getting newer (3.1+) OpenGL support on Linux can be tricky with old distributions though but it's not impossible. I think it's in the newest Ubuntu LTS, but for older LTSes you may have to manually update them. I don't know about the (Intel) driver situation and their opengl support on Macs but I assume they shouldn't be too far behind as well.

To conclude:
If OpenGL 3.1/DX10 is the minimum Shieldbattery would have the following minimal system requirements:

Radeon HD 2XXX series (from 2007) or
GeForce 8XXX series (from 2008) or
Intel HD 2000 (from 2011, used in Sandy-Bridge CPUs [for example Core i5 2600k])

I didn't listen to the video, but it doesn't seem that there will be support for Macs since the technology behind this almost certainly involves patching StarCraft's binary file or memory patching.

Ah, so ShieldBattery depends on the Windows version of BW which means that we probably need Windows or maybe WINE. Is the language version important as well? Does ShieldBattery support non-english versions of BW?

There is no usable version of BW outside of the Windows version, anyway (the Mac version was for PowerPC, which has been dead for a few OS X versions now). We do plan to support things through WINE eventually, but testing this and fixing issues therein is a low priority at the moment (But I see no real reason this can't work given a bit of effort on our part). Language is not important, all languages are supported just fine.
Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace?
