For now it is unknown if Blizzard will ban your account if you apply this mod. Use at your own discretion. |

Update:
UI style option (new!)
You can choose using the default game interface, or the new 1v1 interface.
- Removed all model backgrounds and borders
- Minimap is bigger (350 x 350) instead of 291 x 289
- Game clock is moved to upper left corner
- Ping, Terrain and Team color buttons are hidden. (You can still access the button via hotkey)
- Army button (F2) is hidden (You can still use F2)
- Idle worker button (F1) is only shown when there is actually idle worker.
- Info panel is shown at bottom right corner.
- Removed portrait, you can click on unit's wire frame icon to center camera.
- Command panel is above Info panel and has smaller size (57 x 57 instead of 76 x 76 for each button)
- Resource and supply numbers are bigger (21 instead of 16)
Research progress (new!)
When this option is enabled, the player's current research progresses are displayed.
I would say the research progress thing is actually cheating. but thats just my opinion. I like the idea of a minimal UI though. hopefully someday blizz will add an option like that.
Also Norton does NOT like this program at all. It keeps telling me it's a virus and a danger to my system =/

it uses a modified d3d9.dll to override loading table. That behavior, usually, could be a sign of virus and is therefore reported as dangerous.

I also agree that research progress is very close to cheating so I'd remove that. I'd really hate to see Blizzard remove whatever makes this possible in the first place simply because it allows you to track research progress. This is questionable enough as it is so I'd hate to give them a somewhat valid reason to shut it down.

Would it be possible to modify this program to show you what your opponent is building? (or show you their minimap... maybe even see their camera position on your minimap?)
If possible I don't see how the method used to create this should be condoned.
Overall... I'd love a custom UI (especially having used them as a caster) however I don't see how this can't be considered a 3rd party app that provides a competitive advantage.

I don't like the timer in top left, but other than that it looks really good.

updated.
game timer is attached to minimap now.
- Common ability buttons are hidden to reduce command panel size
- Alert / Error messages in the middle
- Command prompt in the middle (select target message)
- Chat messages to the left side

Added map visibility, bigger minimap, research progress bar. Someone humor me with an attempt at an argument that this mod doesn't provide benefits not available to a player not using it.

Those new features are definitely out of the line. Do not use this. It's definitely violating EULA and could get your account banned.

Because when you play in tournaments you can't use it and you will be out of your comfort zone.
Wow, didn't see the latest developments, now it's 100% cheating.

We're talking about ladder too though right?

I'm pretty sure this is/will enable cheating.
* You are making more of the screen visible which removes a bunch of little things that other players take advantage of in game. (I.E. Building spine crawlers on opponents creep on the part that would normally be covered by the UI.)
* This modification only applies to one player. It doesn't apply to every player in game. Anyone who uses this would be at an advantage.
* The new features you released are no doubt cheating. Staying on top of upgrades is part of the game, getting something to tell you that an upgrade has finished upgrading (outside of what is currently available.) is an advantage that only applies, again to one player.
As a fellow programmer, I appreciate your effort in trying to make the game more enjoyable, (I've always wanted to have more screen real estate to micro larger engagements.) but this should be coming from Blizzard, not you, that way it can be applied to everyone equally.
This thread should be locked/deleted.
