I'm using a Logitech G500 which has 3 side buttons. Had forward on next sub, backward on previous sub, and I've always used the middle-side-button as drag scroll (pushing the wheel for drag scroll was killing my hand). | ||

TheCore 1.0 will be released as soon as fucking possible. That's not attitude from me toward you, that's me really wanting to get 1.0 out. The issue is that I need my computer to update the videos and also to update the visuals. I'll probably release a 0.9.9 version that is exactly the same as 1.0 with the exception of the visuals/OP rewrite/videos so you can start playing on it as soon as possible. Until 0.9.9 is out, I'll basically be waking up, working on TheCore, eating occasionally, and then going to sleep. Thank you so much for your patience. If you really want to get into the thick of it, you can head over to TheCore Archive and try to make sense of the chaos that is me reorganizing everything for 1.0. I will not answer questions about this document, everything you see here is either old, or in the middle of a rework, but I know many of you are curious people so I'll let you in on the development  Next Subgroup and Previous subgroup will be on the forward and back parts of the mouse (side mouse buttons). If you use the mouse buttons for CGs, you will use Shift+M4 and Shift+M5. If you choose not to, you can rebind to M4 and M5 straight up. Thanks again all, and please contact everyone you know using TheCore and ask them to answer the new poll, the sooner we get that poll to a reasonable sample size, the sooner we can make another major decision for TheCore. | ||

If you use the mouse buttons for CGs, you will use Shift+M4 and Shift+M5. If you choose not to, you can rebind to M4 and M5 straight up. What someone's mouse doesn't have side buttons? Did you come to the conclusion that it's more efficient to use side buttons and gear theCore only towards mice that have them? Before I started with theCore I used to have shift and control bound to my mouse side buttons, and I always gloated about that because I thought I was so clever for doing it. But I got the no-mouse-buttons version of theCore and have found it to be faster to not use side buttons on the mouse. Since I use a fingertip grip, I basically hold the mouse with my thumb and pinky, and this makes using thumb buttons a little awkward. Sorry if you already talked about this. I know there has been a bunch of discussion in the last few pages, but I couldn't discern 100% whether you want to force people to use mouse buttons or not? It seems to me that it would be a big improvement for someone who uses palm grip, but maybe not for fingertip/claw. | ||

Yea, we're going to make a bunch of changes to the files. What I would like to do, is keep the current files in the github in a special folder for people who do not want to make this switch. Also, the maps will be different and which things they apply to will be different. I can make those changes if you don't have the time. Once I get everything figured out and ready to roll I'll send you a nice long email, or we can skype, up to you | ||

Yes, we will only be assigning the / key to abilities that are not (or are almost never) shift-queued. | ||

Are the changes in 1.0 thus: / is no longer next sub group M4 and M5 are now next/prev sub group. What keyboard buttons will now be my M4 and M5 control group? Is it changing to the style of the RRM for that? If so that means my build commands are on different keys etc which is quite big. Also, Im not sure I agree with M4 and M5 being next sub group. The one problem I occasionally hit with control groups on the mouse is that I cant really use them while microing intensively. I mitigated this by putting my bases and production on M4 and M5, but if next/prev sub group are on there I STILL won't be able to properly macro my production buildings while microing, let alone swap between my casters if I happen to have more then 1 in a group. | ||

Looking at those mappings, it looks like you downloaded the US Dvorak version of TheCore, rather than the standard USQwerty version. | ||

I'm playing terran (TRM) at lower level (plat) and with the decision to shift forward/backward in a control group exclusively via mouse it's hardly possible for me to micro and manage my macro simultanelously. It tried it when I first switched to TheCore and thought its a good idea to make more use of my lazy right thumb. It simply didn't work for me. Maybe its the position or the small keys of the razer naga mouse or a mental block - I can't coordinate clicking with my index/middel finger and my thumb in a coordinated way without large delays. The result is, that I completely neglect my macro in the micro-intensive phases of the game. Do other players have similar difficulties? | ||

It of course won't affect me because I'd never use mouse buttons for anything and I'd just change them away but I don't think it's a good idea to have them as a default setting. Proof: Spam mouse button 3 and 4 while clicking with the left and right mouse button randomly at 500 APM, then do the same thing at 500 APM but replace mouse buttons 3 and 4 with 2 random keyboard keys. After that left click repeatedly alternating between the 2 gas geysers in the main while pressing the mouse buttons as fast as possible. Record APM. After that left click alternating between the 2 gas geysers while spamming 2 random keys on the keyboard as fast as possible. You'll see my point. | ||

Oh but I do use around 2200 DPI and incredibly low traction so I have no idea if it's easier to hold the mouse cursor position with a more forgiving setup. However if you press the mouse buttons with the thumb of the right hand it's incredibly slow regardless. | ||

The only other use I can think of is terran macro but even there I have a much easier time coordinating key presses with 2 fingers of the same hand than 2 fingers of different hands. Also, if you're just quickly macroing in between micro a really fast mouse side button press might make your mouse cursor or hand position become suboptimal whereas with just keyboard you can accurately hold the mouse exactly where you want to click the moment you come back to your army control group.

So in the case of building units, I think we can agree that M4 isnt at a disadvantage to /, right? As for doing next sub group during unit micro, my first reaction is that you aren't using enough control groups. Personally, I'm not running into the need to use "next subgroup" to cast spells. For example, I can have MMM, tanks, vikings, and ravens on 4 different CGs and not use "next subgroup" for unit micro. And I still have a few control groups to spare. | ||
