Zerg layout has an extra ability key (select larva, fungal and such) where the P and T have a CG. This is because with zerg, you do not have a tap that goes between 2 macro CGs. You check larva. Also because larva have 11 fucking abilities and making ultralisk as close as we can is a priority.


Have you guys ever considered layering the larva abilities, i.e. having some of the units need a shift modifier? I haven't thought this through and know nothing about zerg, so I have no idea how dumb an idea that is. Just curious.


Yeah things like ultras being on y is pretty out of the way (I use the random layout), I know we currently have the ctrl+j and i set for freecam recall but if we were to instead make like ctrl+j be ultra then that would be good. It should have to be a ctrl modifier and not a shift modifier because the next action is going to be ctrl+group. I say ctrl+j purely because ultra/ling is pretty common and so you'd hold j then press ctrl and keep holding j then tap - (or whatever ctrl group for melee and click the eggs if neccesary before hand) then release ctrl.

Though obviously it doesn't have to be the same key as lings it's just nice that way, we could keep free cams as they are and just set ultra to be ctrl+k or whatever the next ranked key after j and i is.

@Spooge,

Modifiers unfortunately do not work with abilities.

Hey everyone, I want to direct everyone over to TheStaircase Thread. We've encountered an interesting puzzle that I'm sure a lot of people who post in this thread would have a fun time attempting to crack. I could really use some more people on this one, any help is greatly appreciated (just make sure you post on that thread and not this one please).

Its easier to download from the skydrive IMO, the latest version is there as well. The first video in the quick start guide will show you how.

After one year with thecore and about 3-4 month of using darkgrid(I think that was the name) I'm switching back to standard layout. Why? Just because it will not affect my skill and i like more to move my hand on keyboard. I have to thanks Jak and the creator of darkgrid for this 2 awsome hotkeys layouts, I learned so much from them about mechanics and how it should look a perfect control group setup for every race. I started from silver-gold with darkgrid and now i'm mid master with thecore. In my opinion if you are a bad player(like me) you should try thecore, you will improve alot. You will start to using camera hotkeys, your hands and wrist will not be tired after 5-6+hours of gaming and your micro will be so much better.
Thanks again! and sorry for my bad english.

Installed The Core this morning, and I just had to create an account here on TL so I could come give its creators some appreciation. This is brilliant. I will need much more practice to master it, but this is so obviously better than the standard layout that I already know I'm sticking with it, no matter how inept with it I am at the moment. There's no way I'm going back to all that awkward reaching and fighting with terrible key combinations instead of learning this.

To everyone who has contributed: thank you. It's great. The thought put into it really shows.
All hail the Overgoat!

Hi, I'm getting back into SC2. I stopped playing for a bit before HOTS came out. Figured if I were to switch to a new key layout, this would be a good time. Should I do it before I play the HOTS campaign... or after? Are there conflicts when playing campaign??

I think faster access to camera location keys is one of the most important aspect that good hotkey schemes should have. I'm not sure that the layered hotkeys TheCore uses is an effieicient way...

Play the HOTS campaign with TheCore! It'll help you get a sense of what the layout is like before you try to use it in the real leagues, and thanks to the incredible work of SixtustheFifth, TheCore is pretty much completely compatible with the campaign!

@azurespace,

Do you have any evidence or arguments to support that claim? If so, I'd love to hear them Do you have any suggestions?

The HotS campaign was difficult for me to say the least with TRM. I couldn't even beat the final mission on brutal. :<

Although I guess it wasn't helped by the fact that I didn't have Brood Lords on a mission with limited resources.

Hmm, that's unfortunate. (I don't have HOTS so I don't actually know anything) I still wouldn't think being on Standard is a great idea, but if the layout for campaign isn't optimal right now, maybe it could just depend on preference.

It's so much Zerg that I would definitely recommend temporarily switching to a Zerg layout temporarily while playing the campaign.

Roach Hydra + Attack Move = Victory for every level you can use roaches and hydras (I got them right away). I beat the campaign with they same layout you are using very easily. I don't think your experience was a result of using TRM. Also, using a zerg layout for the HotS campaign and then switching back to TRM would be a serious mind fuck and probably do more harm than good IMO.

+1, I played the whole HotS campaign on brutal with TRL and it worked fine.
You'll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.
