I have a question, and i really hope that you fine folks have the answer. I have been watching alot of streams, and i noticed that trump has all his unit building structures on one hotkey. I've tried that, but it only build on one kind of building, for example the barracks. So how does he switch which structures he wants to build from? It does not seem he is mouse clicking anything to get around. How do you do it on keyboard only with like Barracks, factory and starport hotkeyd on the same key? I hope i am not mistaken. And if it really can be done, im excited to see if i can get better macro with that style of play. //ZX | ||

The same thing applies to units when you have everything hotkeyed to 1 button. | ||

if you have any buffing abilities (ie. transfusion with queen, don't know any others) how do u use it efficiently? because you can't just use it on the RED icon that's about to die. you have to manually search through the main screen for the dead unit (its too late). also if anyone knows any other buffing abilities please enlighten me from my ignorance. | ||

I believe that holding down ALT will show the health bars so you can find the damaged ones more quickly. | ||

When Marauder's concussive shell got called out not being a f*kin baller itself, what is Blizzard's reaction? Blizzard made Terran throw down a depo before ANYTHING. This is a step stating they will make everything even more stupid, just to continue let something new and feeble to be cross-over blossom behind the brains of the newcomers. Everybody knows alot of things can never happen if this ability don't go away, but since Blizzard stated in beta (or much earlier) that the game will be much excessable for non RTS gamers (not my exact words I'm afraid), so the idea are starting to dawn on me now. Though my encounter with BW goes way back and very limited, the idea is you can't force alot of things to work in SC2. The game is morbidly tooned to cash in fresh meat with simple curiosity of a RTS game. | ||

I already had a few friends to test it , but unfortunately none of them are Sc2 players so it would be nice to hear somethings from you guys. It's semi open source at the moment.

What does it do? As i said before , it's a calendar application based on TL Calendar. When you run the application , it connects to Team Liquid Calendar and gets all events ; then first , shows you 5 of them ( 5 is default , can be changed from settings ) . Then it stays in System Tray ( as you can see in screen shots below ) , and if there is an event in next 1-2 hours , pops up notifications to ... well notify you ie. "Day9 Daily starts in 1hour 30 minutes" -> "Day9 Daily starts in 45 minutes" -> "Day9 Daily starts in 22 minutes" i think it's kinda spammy at the moment but obviously i need your feedbacks about those kind of stuff. Also you don't need to wait for them to disappear , you can right click on context menu or notifications to instantly close them. And also you can check all upcoming&past events in Calendar window ( Big picture below ). TLpd and TL Forum links all works ( opening links in default browser ). What does it look like? + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4594/sccalendar.jpg) Requirements Only thing you need is .Net Framework 3.5 which already comes with Windows 7.

So don't freak out when it tries to connect my website to check for updates. If you try it , PLEASE let me know what you think about it and report any bugs / errors. I mean that's the whole point of beta You can PM me for any feedback , and I'll probably open a thread about it if beta goes well for any further talk and stuff. I hope you'll like it , Thanks in advance ill definitely try this out when i get home. One thing i'd like to know is if you can have a sleep mode (user scheduled on/off times) and/or a preferred list. Perhaps someone is not interested in gsl streams but wants to watch the wolf cup. Or someone wants to watch day[9] then be uninterupted until response or hashe starts up their stream. I dunno if thats possible but it sure would be great ;P btw kudos on such a project i hope you reach release with success | ||

I'll release next beta version soon ( in a week ? ) with stream support but unfortunately I'm not having enough feedback on this version. For example i just found out , although the application just requires .Net 3.5 , stupid installer thinks it requires .Net 4.0 so tries to install .Net 4.0 at installation -_- So please , if you try it , tell me about your experience so i can fix/improve it. My last term in university and I'm overwhelmed by university related projects but slower or not ; I'll keep working on ScC. | ||

I have SC2 installed on my laptop but since a few weeks ago, I've had trouble connecting to the internet. I really want to try the SC2 campaign with the changes with patch 1.1.2, so my question is: How do I download the 1.1.2 patch manually (so that I can move the patch from my desktop to my laptop. Any help will be appreciated. | ||

The opening of Ro64 starts: 07:00:00 p.m. Monday October 18, 2010 in Asia/Seoul converts to 06:00:00 a.m. Monday October 18, 2010 in US/Eastern 1: This is correct? 2: There will be FREE live broadcast on gomtv.net for this right? 3: And VODS are ONLY available for season ticket holders? + Show Spoiler + From: http://www.gomtv.net/2010gslopens2/news/243 Please note that you will not be able to continue viewing the Live Stream throughout the whole 9 games. When the daytime(1pm KST) matches end the Live Stream will be cut off and the next Live Stream will start at 7pm KST. 4: What the heck does that mean? Games are ran simultaneously for Ro64? Then some of them won't be commented by Korean casters & Tastosis? Just want to make sure waking up for this is worth it. | ||

First of all I'm not a toss player, just wondering how would that workout even if it takes alot of effort to micro. If you can charge on a probe, which is placed as a step-stone for exit usage, or charge on things as an early-charge into your opponent's face, will the micro worth it? it would be cool if you could use the megst statues | ||

On October 17 2010 06:18 Logo wrote: Maybe some protoss player can answer this... when facing such a marauder heavy force with colossi why do protoss players never use warp prisms to keep their colossi from being sniped? It's not like the Terran player is in a good position to pick off the warp prisms if his vikings are down (which seems to be common in the case of a player like select). Actually, this did cross my mind a few times but in the end it wasn't very practical due to a few reasons. 1- Warp prisms production will halt/decrease colossi production since they are produced from the robotics facility. 2- 200 Minerals can be better spent on more gateway units to support and protect the colossi. 3- Warp prisms aren't very fast and they are pretty fragile. A group of stimmed marines possibly could take out the warp prism quickly. 4- Moving the colossus away is easier and less micro intensive and is safer for higher latencies in my case. I could have misunderstood your question but these are some reasons I didn't try it. If I see a very marauder heavy force I might give it a go. I do like to do warp prism harass/drops whenever possible in later stages of the game. | ||
