You need to compare someone who has remapped to someone who hasn't. Saying they could both do the same thing, which we are trying to find out is cheating and unfair or not, and thus it's not unfair because there is no advantage is so odd. Obviously if both do the same thing theres no difference. What's then is the point in the argument? What are you even comparing? Nothing. If both do the same thing then there is never an advantage. So you can never cheat. | ||

Using only english keyboards in tournys is unfair for those who practice on other keyboards in other countries. Other e-sports has this feature and the only reason bw hasn't is probably because it wasn't though of by then. If you think its cheat don't use it, but blindly saying its gay or whatever without taking these things into consideration is wierd. If there is a mouse that is absolutely best for playing bw would it be cheating using it because some people might not know about it? or can afford it? It's not like you have to do less actions. You just have other equipment. | ||

Seeing as every single person who legitimately owns Brood War can download an English version from Battle.net, your argument of "but my version is different" is thrown completely out the window. You want to play with a modified keyboard, you might as well play with any other hack. | ||

Seeing as every single person who legitimately owns Brood War can download an English version from Battle.net, your argument of "but my version is different" is thrown completely out the window. You want to play with a modified keyboard, you might as well play with any other hack. It gives you an advantage, yes. But not more than for example those who have better mouses or keyboards. This should be put in the same category as equipment-advantage, it will help you improve your play but you still have to do everything anyone has to do to win a game. Sure everyone can download the english version, but they dont. In the perfect bw-world everyone should use the same language, same equipment and same hotkeys. For example; I see alot of players(for example boxer) take away some keys from their keyboard that they dont need for playing broodwar. This will make it easier for you not to misclick. | ||

Then if you are planning to play in a professional gamer tournament, you had better practice for that, because of that stupid rule. If you don't, like 99% of people posting here, then why should it matter? | ||

Also, stop trying to be grammatically correct, you're just placing random commas in your sentences. | ||

Yes, it might take some time getting used to, but its not that important in starcraft. Since if you need to look at your keyboard when you play starcraft... Well, you shoild just learn to not do that And you can download the english starcraft version for free. | ||

But that would be cheating. If you get an AZERTY keyboard you should learn to use it like its meant to be used! | ||

Go to File → Open and browse to patch_rt.mpq Scroll down until you find rez\stat_txt.tbl. This file contains hotkeys and tooltips for all things in Starcraft. It is what you will be modifying. You might notice that there are a whole bunch of them. They are different languages. English is (at least for me, and probably for you) the first one. Right click it, and extract to somewhere where you will be able to find it. For me the patch_rt.mpq file, when opened in WinMPQ showed only "Uknown" for all the file names. When I looked at the file BrooDat.mpq in WinMPQ I found the rez\stat_txt.tbl files you were talking about. Are these the correct files to modify? EDIT: I'm dumb, just saw it in the FAQ sorry | ||

I think this should be more widespread and actively used, really. I think I might start noting in the rules for all the tours I host in the future that modified hotkeys are allowed ^_^ | ||

You have no idea what kind of a pain that would be, 1 = & and 2 = é etc so you can't just use control groups. It's really annoying and almost impossible to play decently. | ||
