I have also Windows 7 64 bit and it does not work. Even the test sound button does not play anything. Could it be that you compiled it against some 32 bit libraries that are not compatible?

Edit: Button works again, changed the wav file. Somehow my media player does not want to play the original alert.wav.

I'm running a fairly fresh install of Win7 64bit and it works fine for me, so that shouldn't be the case. For playing sounds it uses PlaySound from winmm.dll (which should be around on all windows installs).

Open up the folder that contains PSIStarcraftInjector.exe and APMAlert2.dll and you should find apmalert2.log in there. If its not there, check in your main Starcraft 2 folder (thats the failsafe location).

If you can't find it in either place, make sure you're using the most up-to-date version.

Edit: I just uploaded a small update to PSI that will maybe fix the issue people were having with SaveSettings().

In response to irocksu I just wanted to convey that my play sound button seems to work just fine. Moreover I here and henceforth permanently extend a giant middle finger to the behemoth that is the microsoft .net framework. I reinstalled it to get the newest version, and it just took a giant dump all over my registry for some reason. Now barely anything works, which is just amazing and a treat. I'm far to tired right now to give a toss about it so I'm gonna go to bed and sort it out in the morning.

I'm sure we'll all get it working eventually, so massive props to tec27 for putting this together. I can't wait to have a giant overlay displaying six billion APM for the first three minutes of the game.

Good night.

The Starcraft community never ceases to amaze me. What OTHER community cranks out this many cool tools under two weeks after release?

Good work OP, I'll be using this tool once the bugs are worked out

Oddly enough running the game in fullscreen seems to work fine as long as all of the windows on that monitor are minimized when I run the game. Not quite sure why, but I guess thats a hint at how I can fix the problem.

Don't seems to work on my machine. Win 7 pro legit, .Net 4.0 installed. SC2 on window full screen mode. Ran PSI on admin. No crash, no error, and no logs in both PSI and game directory. Tried toggling on and off. Played till buildings built.

If you're using the most up-to-date version, try checking in the directory where SC2 stores its up-to-date patched executable. Currently on my machine that is: C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Versions\Base15405

If there is a log file in there, could you tell me what the path to PSIStarcraftInjector.exe is? Thank you!

Wait is this some sort of elaborate joke? I hope when you download this thing it's just a rickroll...

If the link in the first post is most up-to-date version 15mins ago, then It should be it.

No log inside Versions\Base15405 folder.

Edit: I tried both putting the APMAlert2 folder on desktop and in D: before as well.

Additional Info: I am running SEA version of the game. I was testing by running AI in custom game.

This is pretty cool, but i think using it on b.net is pretty risky.

Remember Blizz really hates when people use anything with the word 'injecting' into the game.

And it clearly states on the the EULA that people can't do these kinds of things.

They may have exceptions for apps like Steam/FRAPS, but anything else is very risky to use.

I am just saying...

Yeah for the record I only use this stuff in custom games myself for practicing with buddies, and I tell them what Im running. Less chance of complaints or bans.
In ladder I run pure vanilla just to be safe.

I didnt mean to be a jerk, i honestly thought he wouldnt help others get it to run, well wrongly so!

I downloaded the new version, started it up, test sound works fine, i cannot change the x,y positions (just resets once it loses keyboard focus), no log file is generated in either the base folder, the sc2 folder or the app folder. Nothing shows ingame. Executed as administrator. Ran Sc2 with everything else minimized with Windows (Fullscreen) selected.

Eu version, win7 64bit

Its really not all that risky. Applications legitimately inject DLLs into other applications all the time: Virus Scanners, Xfire, Steam, Anything with a keyboard hook, etc. Along with that, my dll doesn't modify or even read any memory inside the actual SC2.exe, it only modifies things inside the DirectX dll. Blizzard has never monitored such changes in any game they have made, and its doubtful they will ever start with SC2 considering that Fraps/Steam/Xfire/etc. all modify in the same way to get their overlays shown ingame (and its not like Blizzard can simply say "alright, this is fine if Steam does it, but not fine if anyone else does" due to how it works).

To say the least, I wouldn't have bothered with it if I thought there was a risk of my account getting banned by using it. I just can't say with 100% certainty that it won't result in that because there's always the small chance that Blizzard goes crazy.

To anyone having trouble finding the logs: I'm not sure why its failing to output them, I'll try to get a version out that will have a lot of extra failsafes on that after I get back from work today.

The X/Y position need to be in the range 0-1 for them to be saved, which is probably why they are being reset after losing focus. Check the configuration notes in the OP for more details on that.
