Ok, added a few days to the deadline. It can be changed later too if contestants need more time, but it should be decided earlier so everyone has the same amount time to prepare and to make the videos.

A gentle reminder: 1 more week left before the deadline.

You still have plenty of time if you want to participate, but if you haven't started it, you should start working on it.

I created 4 separate video's each looking at something different about Sc2gears. For what was originally going to be a quick little project, turned out to be hours of work. I really hope others participated as well.








Here is a video with the previous 4 spliced together. But in my opinion, it's better to give the information in smaller chunks so that people can pick and choose what they want to learn. It also leaves room to create more video's in the future.



AVI's of the video's can be uploaded upon request.

The video which shows to extract to anywhere... in that video you extracted it to "C:\Program Files". It is stated on the downloads page that it's not recommended to extract Sc2gears to special folders like "C:\Program Files" because some users do not have write permission in that folder which will lead to Sc2gears not being able to save settings and other files. Can you redo that video using a neutral folder like "C:\Sc2gears" or "C:\utils\Sc2gears"?

Ahh, I didn't think the rule applied to sub-folders within "C:\Program Files." But anyways, here's a video of Sc2gears being extracted to: "C:\Sc2gears"
