However, I tried using it and for some reason it won't appear over my SC client. I can move the overlay and lock it in place and it'll work fine on the desktop, over this browser window, etc. but when I maximize SC it's no longer visible.

Use Full screen (windowed) mode. It's not work with standart Fullscreen.

Ah, this worked. Thanks!

Gluing a small paper to the edge of the monitor - cheating too?

Is there a way you can extend this so that the build older shown changes at the touch of a button? Or maybe a flow chart of decision making?

Say i see early 2nd gas on protoss and a 3 gate opening. I think possible DTs or stargate opening, so make engineering bay and put out a turret, make a raven, scout around for proxy stargate or pylon, wall off, etc etc

its just the same as having it wrote down and stuck on your monitor, which am sure a lot people do anyway.


big difference between having a little sticky note on your monitor or a gigantic piece of paper stuck on, than an overlay that is directly within the monitor. It's not the same thing, so stop saying that it is. Also, can someone check if this is against blizzard rules? i love the tool but I believe it is against the user agreement.


What if you taped a sheet of cellophane to your monitor and wrote the build order on it beforehand? This would amount to the exact same thing. The program does not interact with sc2, so it doesn't violate ToS.

Yeah, this is in NO WAY cheating or against the ToS.
Great tool for learning build orders, just don't let it become a handicap!
Thank you for your work and sharing it with us, will definitely try this out.
Can you resize? It is a bit big on the screen.

Should someone get banned for this, but not for taping a cellophane sheet to their monitor and writing on it? Or having 2 monitors and having a build order list open on the other one? Or a post-it note?

This doesn't interact with the game, it doesn't tell you where in the build order you're at, and it has no advantages over, say, cellophane+marker. Why would people get banned? I'm pretty sure it's not against blizz ToS, and it's not an unfair advantage (or at least, not more unfair than having a spare monitor/computer, which many people do).

You can change size and font. Look at my style:

This is such a good idea. I think this will make it much easier for me to learn other races and not completely demolish my ladder rating haha. Thanks for making this for the community!

If the program does not extract or input any data from or into SC2 then its not against the TOS.
If it was my PandoraONE player would have got be banned along time ago with its overplay of what music track is playing.

Now if the program checked off steps automatically or suggested build orders/steps depending on what you do in-game that would be another matter in itself.

You are handicapping yourself with this anyway, if you are needing to know when to build X and are not naturally doing this in your head anyway. Nice program, I'd just use it to organize my thoughts if I do download it.

Ofcourse it's not cheating :p. You are just seeing the build that will normally be in your head.

I think he made it probably with the intention of learning the build faster and I think that is a great way to do it.

I'm wondering where the utility got his builds from ? I saw that when I downloaded it there were like 20 builds already and there was this button called Update.

Is this program connected to something so it will get builds off of something ?


If you can think of it in your head, you do not need this overlay. Hence, since it gives you an inherent advantage in a game it is cheating.
