I feel pretty awesome, just cheaterized my keybinds and bound everything into one button. Won't even need to push that 1a2a junk anymore I can just mash one button from now on. What? Do something.

i suggest iccup launcher will do a check everytime you launch bw. It would check the hotkey file and make sure its english.
If not, it will say a big fuck you and replace with the real one.

I suggest not, because then people who use dvorak keyboard layout or non-english keyboards could never play iccup.

Instead, I suggest everyone chill the hell out

There is only one way to prevent this on iccup and that would mean an auto download of a clean patch_rt.mpq file and replace your modified one each time you launch starcraft. Which would mean you would have to specify which language version you are using so that you could get the right file.

Also, for those who are worried about having to do the steps everytime they change computer on lans ie. Just put the modified path_rt.mpq on an USB or mail it to yourself and replace the already existing one on the computer with your own modded (you will find the patch_rt.mpq in your starcraft folder).

I just want to inform those who are so damn anti remapping, it doesen't make you play better at all, I have played on lans both with and without my hotkeys and it doesen't make any difference at all. It's just more comfortable to press "s" instead of "p" when building a probe.

But as you are already so convinced you are 100% right you would never try to change the hotkeys and you would never experience what it is like, thus you really dont have any saying in this at all. Because believe me, it doesen't make you play any better it just makes you play more comfortable. Like having formable insides in the skates which follows your own foot rather than some standardized which would only fit 50% of all the players. It doesen't make you preform any better, but it's sure more comfortable for you to wear and to skate with.
Really, play for fun!

damnit pls read my previous post:

YOU ARE SO FUCKING IGNORANT OF THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO PROGRAM/SOFTWARE INVOLVED WITH IT, NEITHER IS DYNAMICALLY CHANGING OF GAME DATA, ITS JUST SOME TEXT STRINGS WHICH ARE ALTERED BEFORE SCBW IS RUN, THERE ISNT ANY SOFTWARE/PROGRAM/TOOL BESIDES SCBW INVOLVED HERE

sry for the caps, but i needed to write this in this way, else those posters above will continue this 'software/program/tool' shit on and on.

its a METHOD, no code involved here

I didn't read this thread at all, but i have a tip to change hotkeys WITH KEYCRAFT.
OK, so you need starcraft in english and broodwar in french (maybe it works with other languages but i just tried in french).
1) Install starcraft original in english
2) Install broodwar in french
3) Upgrade to 1.16.1
4) Open keycraft, load your config file, then patch it
5) "Broodwar succesfully patched"

Can someone who is against custom keys tell me...

if i dont change the files in starcraft but instead spend a lot of money for a fancy keyboard that allows me to swap its keys around, would that be any different?

I've read through most of this thread, and I'm still not convinced changing hotkeys is cheating...

I agree.

Don't progamers have customized keyboards?

Sometimes I watch Bisu and I think there's no way he's using standard mouse / keybaord due to his multitasking.
Multiply your efforts.
