At the same time, I think people are gravely overstating how useful this tool is. If you're in Diamond or higher, it's highly unlikely this tool will actually give you a significant advantage over your opponents. If you're a Bronze level player, maybe it will help you crush your friends. | ||

More on the development, as discussed I have a Shortcut key to start the timer, and plan to add one to kill the timer using the following in another batch script. taskkill /IM i_view32.exe taskkill /IM cmd.exe I have the start script bound to ctrl+ alt+ z and plan to have the kill script bound to ctrl + alt +x if its free. I might add a yellow E graphic to go off on standard MULE timing, such as x seconds from the start of the game (assuming a 12 rax, fast OC) and then every 62 or however many seconds. I haven't played zerg in S2 much but I might set one up for injects, I use the backspace rebound to ~ key, but since all my hatches are on 5 and all my queens are on 6 there is no visual queue of when next to inject, if you have 1 unit or 1 queen alone in a control group you can see the energy or larva status bar. I might also make one to remind me to look at the food and mini map every 20 seconds or so by quickly flashing up a graphic there to catch my attention. | ||

I'm reading up a bit on warden and it is still ambiguous if it reports the other applications running while sc2 is, and I guess that's the way blizzard would like to keep it. My belief is that the program itself would be white listed in the same way steam is possibly, they could maybe see that it starts and stops more often but only if they are constantly reporting what you are doing, or logging on events. | ||

And mechanically lesser players will still have problems with this because they can´t really spare the APM to do everything effectively(scouting, harrassing, watching the minimap etc etc.) I kinda don´t care too much if people decide to use it,eventually they will internalize the timmings anyways, but of course this can damage the integrity of online tourneys(not much, but imagine if a guy was winning a bunch of online tourneys because his mechanics were beastly and then we find out he was using a helper like this ) I don´t really care too much but lets not deny that this gives you an advantage that your opponent will not have in that area(macro) | ||

On topic: Grats OP. This is cool and useful. I don't consider it a hack in the least. I don't think I'd use it personally because I'd be too afraid I'd let it become a crutch and not a learning aid, but still cool work. | ||

A timer that displays an image. Whether its on monitor 1 or 2 makes absolutely no difference. It's a learning aid at best, and a mildly useless crutch at worst. Don't worry about it. This won't really give anyone competitive an advantage. by masters remembering SCV's should be the least of your worries. This is absolutely no different from having a coach watch you play and say "make an scv dawwg" Stop spewing shit basically. You don't have to agree with it "morally" but to say "oh this is a hack and shud be ban" etc is just retarded. Funny you post this and the posts that were before you never said anything about hacking. They said that they felt like it wasin a way cheating but nothing to do with the actual word "hack" maybe you should learn to read before going on a rampage? | ||

I am thinking for mini map reminders I should use big arrows with transparent corners, or if the gif transparency doesn't carry over (which I don't think it does) I could just outline the minimap with 4 instances of the image viewer.I need to find some software for cursor position as the demo I made I just sort of played with the numbers until it fit. | ||

This may give you a slight advantage but this is barely cheating, its the same if you had a freaking chronometer on your 2nd monitor. | ||
