I just noticed Zerg is on green finger split. Are the other races staying on purple? Or could they be changing to another color?

We are not sure which finger split option is best for the other races yet. My money is on purple right now, but we still need to do similar analysis on P and T as we did for Z and R.

I am the hold up. Been falling behind in my other projects to get the R and the Z as done as they are. Playing catchup now. Also, started training 3-4 hours a day (was 1-2 before). It's a long term decision and I think it will be better overall. Once my other projects have calmed down a bit, I will be able to get back to leading the team. Until that time I assume you all will be discussing and trying out different things to see what's best. That way when I can come back the legwork will be done and we can just polish it and release 2.0

YOU WILL!?!?!? That would be sooooooooo insanely awesome. This is the github link: https://github.com/JaKaTaK/thecorevisualizer

Re: Jak's post above.

It would be great if some Terran and Protoss players offer some help with the finger split options with those layouts. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to help very much because I only play zerg. I believe that Beed is a terran player, and I guess that he will begin on that layout when he can. As for Protoss, if you are experienced (note: not necessarily high level) with both the race and The Core, I would be happy to chat with you to see how you can help us.

As I mentioned above, I believe that the overall scheme of the P and T layouts will be like random because its unlikely that random should be completely different than all three races. Further, the racial mechnics and structures are quite similar. What remains is:

For each race, figure out what the best finger split option is by taking into acount desired ability order/finger split, desired cg order/finger split, and most critical finger combinations.

Once that is done, filling in the keys with appropriate functions, staying as close to the desired layout as possible.

Please let me know if you would like to lend a hand

Hey, just starting to play around with the protoss finger split. But I have the same problem as Ninjury, so feel free to join in, if you have any first hand insight into protoss play .

edit: Done for today.

Found some errors within the combo rating system (CG-CG, Ability-Ability, CG-Ability) in the green and orange finger split option. Index + Pinky was used for an Ability-CG combo, which is impossible for those finger splits. Also the overall combo rating was calculated by adding up all combo scores, leading to 1x CG-CG + 1xAb-Ab + 4xCG-Ab. Changed the calculation to 1x CG-CG + 1xAb-Ab + (4xCG-Ab)/4 so all combos are equal (the combo weighting is applied before the summation).

I also added those changes to the other race sheets for comparison.

If I understand the combo rating correctly, then the highest score is the best.
The best combo (index-pinky) has the highest score of 1. All the others are lower. Therefore: Higher is better. Or am I misinterpreting something?
But this would mean that purple is not the best finger split option for random (even with the old summation). Or am I missing an aspect that was taken into account when purple was chosen?

All the keyboard layouts that I've that are QWERTY require a AltGr key (a key that I've never heard about), but I don't have one and pushing Alt+Ctrl is awfully uncomfortable. I understand that there is a FAQ about it, but I need so much more than just "you downloaded the wrong one" (where I can compellingly argue that I didn't). What do I do?

In the case of that I'm in the wrong for asking and that I still have this problem, what do I do? I was thinking of mapping AltGr to a key that isn't used often (for example, 1) that is on my mouse.

I have just confused myself. That is, I just tried to copy exactly what you do in "First Game with TheCore" by always holding down Alt only to be confused. Now I realize that I over-thought it, as I expected something else, but it what really happens is something else.

For random: cg>cg ought to have more weight than it currently does relative to cg>ab (lots of cg switching for p and t)

For Zerg: ab>ab ought to be most significant

Hey there people, I've got a question for anyone who's gotten proficient at TheCore 2.0 (or just anyone who is good at learning new hotkeys).

I'm having fun playing around with TheCore 2.0 (specifically the random layout) but I'm still adjusting to it from TheCore 1.0. So I've been using an arcade map ('Hotkey Trainer') to learn the new layout faster than just playing lots of ladder games. This works remarkably well for me, but it only helps to learn the ability hotkeys, and not the control groups and camera hotkeys.

My question is, does anyone have a better way to learn these last two things (control groups and camera hotkeys) that's likely to be quicker/easier than playing ladder games? Because it's taking me a while to get used to them just grinding games.

Edit: Might as well mention this while I'm here, in case you're unaware of it: On the master spreadsheet (in the Reworked R. Key-use Overview tab) there's a list of suggested control groups under the section 'compact overview', that disagree with the list of suggested control groups under the section 'additional features'.

For the 4th time, please can someone just tell me exactly which file am i supposed to download for testing 2.0?
Just tell me thename please.. the ones on the home folder have everything except the command card commands unbound. No restarting the game does not fix it.
This one is not working, nor are variations of it working nor the german versions.

I assume this version?

The link is not on the first post as someone said either, how are people supposed to beta test 2.0 if you guys are not more transparent ?

I'm getting a new keyboard today or tomorrow, gonna give this thing a go. I tried it yesterday and could barely get my control groups to work. I think I don't need to think about control groups as #1,2,3 but more the location on the keyboard. It's so confusing when you start.

I did the work for you Slashiepie. Github is confusing for people who are unfamiliar with it.

Put this file into your C:\User\My Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\######\Hotkeys folder.

Yotca, no i dont remember the exact numbers, only the relative ordinals.... I also dont remember how we derived them.

Bulgogi, thanks for helping out slashie . For learning camera keys, checkout Jak's video on the drop defense drill... Which i cant find now . Basically you create a game with a friend, where you keep your screen on top of a unit which you move in a constant square. Then your friend will send medivaks/OL/wp over your first base (and announce that s/he is doing so.) your goal is to use your cam hotkey to go back, select your workers, move them, send your army to the base, reselect the workers, and send em back.

Once that gets easy, add in base 2,3,4,5 (with your opponenet still telling you when and where youll be attacked. Then have them only announce when you will be attacked, but not where. Finally, remove all anouncement.

I was never able to get the files from the Github 'list', it was always some Standard or unbound layout. Github is very confusing to me.

My solution was to click the button on the right for 'download zip' to get every single file, and then get RRM 2.0 in there. It was the only one that actually worked and had the correct keys.

An 'easy' way to get an hotkey file from github is as follows:
Duplicate one of the hotkey files within your SC2 hotkey folder. Now go to the github homepage and click the file you like to download. Now select "Raw" view in the top right corner. Then only the text within the hotkey file is displayed. Now select all (ctrl+A), and copy it (ctrl+C). Now you open up the duplicated hotkey file in your SC2 hotkey folder with a text editor and select all (ctrl+A), then insert the text you copied on github (ctrl+V). Finally you save the file and rename it, if you want to.

At least thats what I used to do.
