Really Really Like this.

Here's my feedback:

1) For team play would be nice if you had "No Race" as a selection in the race drop down. That way, for examle, if Root were playing Liquid, there wouldn't be any races there.
2) Better centering of the center logo if changed from the default
3) Ability to resize the center logo pane without scaling the entire overlay.
4) Ability to add players to config file so that for example you could start typing in the name iNcontroL and it'd populate and change the race to Protoss (you could still manually override it)
5) Hot keys to increase and decrease the score for each player
6) Hot keys to change the race for each player
7) Hot keys to cycle colors for each player (would be even nice if you could customize the hot keys for combinations)
8) Perhaps a hot key to toggle the overlay on and off, as well as additional overlay graphics that you have made addable (NICE FEATURE BTW)
9) Ability to reset scores to zero via hot key

But all-in-all this is an excellent app and very well thought out

Thanks for all of your feedback mate! I'm actually already working on the hotkey functionality for almost every item you've mentioned. I don't have any hotkeys for colors yet, and a general reset hotkey sounds like a good idea too. Unfortunately I won't have the ability to add custom hotkeys just yet although that is definitely something I would like to have in the future, it's just a lot of work that I don't have time for currently. Could you expand on your first item a bit? I understand the whole "No Race" option but when you were saying if Root was playing Liquid there wouldn't be any races there. Are you talking about for like 3v3s and 4v4s and such?

Also, just a quick question about the centered logo item. That SC2 logo is a perfectly cropped exact square so is your replacement image an exact square that has been evenly cropped on all sides? Your resize idea makes sense to fix instances when the image may not look exactly right but I don't know how long it will take me to get to that particular item to add in.

Just to touch on your auto-populate item, I do plan to implement that I just haven't had the time for that yet. The hotkey functionality seemed to be a more requested feature so I did that first. Hopefully I can put that on my list for the next update though.

Thanks again!

Thanks again to everyone who's given feedback! I'm working on finishing up a massive update that is going to be adding one very cool new feature that no one has asked for and I wasn't even sure if I would be able to pull off until recently but it looks like I will. It won't be super useful for every day casts I don't think but for tournaments I think some of the bigger events will get some serious use out of it. Also, don't forget the hotkey functionality will be included with this patch as well as a few minor bug fixes.

I can't seem to get the custom image overlay that I want to put over my replay bar to stay ontop, even with stay ontop checked. I am on Windowed Mode (Fullscreen) and I can get the score and player bar to stay ontop even if I uncheck stay ontop. Am I doing something wrong with the custom overlay? Its just disappearing every-time I click on Starcraft 2.

There's a separate stay on top check box for each image overlay. Do you have that one checked too?

Hmm, I'm not sure then. There should be a separate Always On Top check box for each image overlay you add in addition to the main one specifically for this purpose. Check out the tutorial video in the main post, if that doesn't help then try the new version when it's released. I'm hoping to have it posted this weekend! :D

Its pretty cool

You should add some screenshots to your op, so people don't have to watch your tutorial videos to see what you have done.

Also you should invert your changelist so that latest changes are on the top, and the oldest are on the bottom. Thats the standard and at first sight of your op i was confused.

i ripped the player intro sound from the gsl, maybe you want to put it in : (already a wave) [url blocked]

also add the feature to use windows text to speech for the player name intro, i dont know if this is possible through the api?

or maybe create some own robot like text to speech? but i guess this would be a sick amount of work.


e: also for the count updating, leftklick on the number = increase, rightclick on the number = decrease

Thanks for the link to the intro sound mate. I've actually been toying around with the idea of making a library of intros for the well known pro gamers but I'm not sure if I'll do that yet or not. At the very least it's nice to have a bit more polished into sound!

Awesome stuff, man. I'll be using this immediately for all of my casts. What do you use to record your vods with? I use Fraps right now, and the only problem is that I can't include overlays, I would have to insert them afterward (which would be almost impossible with this program).

Anyway, I'll keep giving feedback as I get more use with the program.

Hey Sir Achaia!

Really great job with the overlay!
I'm planning on using this for future tourneys like others that have posted here.

Here are some of my feedback/suggestions:
-i cant seen to change the overlay logo.
when i press the "change overlay logo" in the "general settings" window, it does nothing.
-maybe a "minimize" option for the settings window for easier navigation.

That's all for now.
Will try to give more info in the future.

Thanks Again!

Glad you like the app mate! Sorry about the change overlay logo issue, I'll look into that and see if I screwed something up with the last update. Also, the settings window can be hidden both with a hotkey (reference OP for the hotkey to show/hide it) or you can right click the icon in the task tray and click on the Show/Hide Settings option.

Hope this helps!
