People, this is NOT cheating. Post-its, windowed mode + notepad, heck, I could print a transparency and create an "overlay". Its not like the program flashes when you're missing a pylon or something.

Awesome program, gonna save me a lot of trees and will make randoming a lot easier!

I don't think its cheating, it's basically the same as writing the build order on a piece of paper and putting it beside you. I have a little notepad with me where I write down build orders because I don't have a second monitor.

Peoples starting call everything "cheating", when they're missing, that Blizzards don't do anything vs resolution "cheating" (widescreen vs square-screen), graphic quality "cheating" (less special effects, more clear battlefields, but also no unit models when warping, etc)

Can you resize? It is a bit big on the screen.

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

I hope people can get banned for this... seems like too much help.

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


gluing a paper or having other monitor is MUCH more distracting

Uhhh, aren't overlays forbidden by the ToS?

But... but... the ONLY reason people lose is that they can't follow their BO out until 127 food!!! Now they can! Instantly every gold player will be rolling like a GM! [/sarcasm]

I can't be more grateful for this tool! My SC notebook was getting full (stupid playing all 3 races). No more! You deserve a medal.

That's true. Paper is distracting.

What if, instead, I took a piece of cellophane, wrote the build order on it, and taped it onto the front of my monitor? The monitor would look EXACTLY like if this tool were used. Is that cheating?

If you don't play your build order enough to even remember the basics...you won't win regardless...lol

It might be a good tool for single player practice...although it might violate ToS?

Awesome little program! I will definitely be using it instead of the messy notepad files I have all over my desktop! Also thanks for the preloaded build orders, this will clearly help me playing off-race, which I'm starting to do nowadays.

That being said, Blizzard recently banned people for using overlays in an effort to combat cheaters. Depending how exactly this is implemented, I believe it's totally possible to get banned for using the overlay function. I know I personally won't... I'll just have the program opened on my second monitor!

edit : link to previous situation, which apparently was cleared up, but shows what could happen here... and since this is closer to cheating, I wouldn't take any risk!

Very nice app!

Would it be possible for you to include mouse wheel control in the overlay so we can adjust the height of the overlay without limiting what we can include in the build order? I think this would also work best if you did not include a vertical scroll bar in order to maximize viewable area horizontally.

Thanks again!

I'm the benevolent dictator you've been looking for.

You've missed the point of that post. As it says, those overlays were 'directly hooking into the rendering process and _could_ modify the information you get'. This is just putting another program in front of SC. You could have a youtube video with 50% transparency in front of the game and it wouldn't violate the TOS. I really don't see why this is even under debate.
