![[image loading]](http://www.belkin.com/images/product/F8GFPC001ea/STD1_F8GFPC001ea.jpg) I don't use the macro's... I just rebind the keys. Not sure why you would want to use macro's at all. This one is a really old model though been using it for a long long time. | ||

Excuse me, but I only made 1 "bumping" post before HDH, and I Do Not and Will Not spam like a simple dot in every minutes, just to get the thread up to date.  | ||

Indeed =) I started at the copper league after my placement matches and I was using the G13 !  It took me a week to get up to the silver league (just before the patch 13 =l) and I can honestly say, that the ingame experience helped me much more to get ahead, than the G13 ! | ||

I am positive I can obtain the results I am looking for w/ scripting, but i am not a programmer and this seems to be a bit above my head. If someone can lend me some assistance on the following issues, I would greatly appreciate it! A) Opener Script : I would like this script to perform the following actions in the start of a game if possible: 0) Select a probe and press "Control+3" to assign to hotkey 3. 1) Select ALL probes and right click on middle mineral patch to begin mining. 2) Select Nexus and press "E" to build my first probe. 3) Select the Nexus and set the middle mineral patch as the rally point. 4) Select the Nexus and press "Control+0" to assign Nexus as hotkey "0". 5) Press "Control+F5" to set the current camera view to my main base. (I always play as Protoss, so switching to different configurations for different races is NOT an issue for me. This is a pain in the a$$ to do at the beginning of EVERY game and would love to SCRIPT it.) B) Build Gateway (Or other Building) & Assign Hotkey 1a) Press "3" to select probe hot-keyed from above script. 1b) Or alternately just use the probe currently selected 2) Press "B" then "G" to build a gateway and let me click to select position. 3) Select the new gateway & assign hotkey by pressing "control+9" (I would like to be able to modify this script code to make other buildings as well and assign a different hotkey to each. For instance I may want to build a Cybercore "C" and assign it to "7". Of course each script will be attached to a separate GXX button on the G13.) These two things would really help me out quite a bit. Thank you for taking the time to read my message, and no flames please. I simply want to make the gaming experience more pleasurable for myself by reducing repetitive keyboard presses every single game. I am not a professional and do not compete... | ||

Now your script is already so close to hacking that its comparable to multiselection hack in bw so even if you're not going to attend any tournaments I really suggest you don't cheat like that in the ladder either as its very, very unfair. If that is allowed then where do you cross the line? Someone could create a script that does the whole build order for you and does a timing push with perfect micro while you yourself are sipping your god damn coffee. Lets not even start going towards that direction please. | ||

I have been searching quite a bit for information on using the G-13 w/ Starcraft 2 and have found very little information. You can easily make some of your ideas as a Macro, but not everything. You just need to attach a Macro to the selected G-key, and not a simple key. After that you end up at the Macro Creating window. There you can start Recording any keypress-chain. If you finished it, you can add Mouse Clicks too for the Macro, But you cannot eliminate your Mouse Movement by Macros ! So in the end you must send out your first workers to gather by your own mouse. Although I suggest you just to make a more Comfortable keybind with it. Using like one Layer for Micro and another for Macro. | ||

Let me give you an example. I am also a DJ for fun. When people first started dj'ing in the 70's it was all vinyl! When Cd's came out in the 80's, and dj's began to switch from LP to CD, some DJ's would say it's not DJing unless it is on vinyl! Then software like Traktor came out which allows a DJ to play with a laptop and mp3 files. No records or CD's needed. Hell, the software has a built in mixer, so you don't even need any physical hardware! Once again, old school DJ's complained that if it was not LP or CD's you are NOT a DJ. Well times change, and a tool is a tool. People should be open minded about embracing new tools (hardware) to make a hard job easier for the masses. That's why these tools are made in the first place. Of course if a DJ sucks to begin with, it doesn't matter what format he plays his music on; it will still be crap. You give to 2 people a mound of clay, and one builds a marble, and the other a detailed statue. Skill is skill and talent is talent regardless of the medium used... In the end, it's pretty subjective. But just because there was an old way of doing it doesn't make the new way of doing it wrong, it's just a different point of view and still perfectly valid in my mind for those willing to embrace that times have changed and new tools are available to make our lives easier... Just my 2 cents... BTW: Tools like Traktor have become the NORM for modern dj's, and most will show up to gigs w/ just a laptop. No more heavy records or bulky cd's to lug around. What was once fround upon has become accepted, and become the new norm. Now there is a larger talent pool out there which brings more diversity, and has overall changed the industry as a whole for the better! | ||

No one here will script this for you. When the game comes out, hopefully all of this will be blocked for ladder play/online play. | ||
