Is it possible to define a fixed position for the overlay? Everytime I use the overlay I experience the following problem: The overlay is fixed in the top-left of the screen and when I try to scroll left with mouse, my mouse focuses the overlay and the pointer changes to the normal windows pointer. Another position would be great and a feature to make the overlay non-clickable / not focusable.. thanks, dreign EDIT: nevermind...I think 1 click on the title for positioning and 2 click for locking is what I searched for^^ | ||

Also, you shouldn't have to delete the config file if the window is not showing. The problem is that the window moves itself off screen. You can use some windows hotkeys to move it back: Alt-Tab to the program Alt-Space to bring up the "move/maximize/minimize" menu M to select move command (if you have english windows) Press an arrow key and the window should snap to your mouse. | ||

I mean, at least memorization was a skill-barrier when being a 1 base all in'er, but now this type of mod eliminates that need. Can people please stop being ignorant... like, for real... not to be too harsh, but if you think this program is "cheating" - you aren't thinking. I love this program - but I don't use the overlay option... for me, I loved it because it made it easier to design things like this: ![[image loading]](http://s825.photobucket.com/albums/zz179/someday0i0will0stop/?action=view¤t=first-try-protoss.jpg) I have 1 for each race, folded into 3 parts like a pamphlet... this is an earlier example, but I also started organizing them - so for example with zerg, I have one column for various rush build orders I like, and I have all the hatch 1st build orders I like in the next column. You see, for me - this is easier and faster than even using the overlay... I have all three races right behind my keyboard - as 'pamphlets', all 3 side by side are the size of 1 sheet of paper. So I can quickly grab my race and stand it up between the keyboard and the bottom of the monitor (desk has build in monitor stand that raises the height about 6 inches... since I fold it like a brochure, it doesn't slide down or fall over, and the positioning makes it so I can essentially have it in my line of sight while playing. Ya, the overlay is directly on the screen, but honestly I don't think their would be any noticeable advantage over having a BO taped directly to the side, or in my case a sheet at the bottom. Because even with the build order on screen , you still have to glance over and read it while you play, as it is nearly impossible to read with peripheral vision alone - our eyes must focus on text to comprehend the words... In fact I just did a little experiment, focusing at the middle of my monitor and then glancing to the far left or right side of the screen, then doing the same and shifting focus to the sheet directly below. With my 24" widescreen (1920x1080) it is actually the same distance (or angle to be more precise) to shift focus from the sides vs shifting focus to the bottom... and since many of the controls and important info is near the mid-bottom of the screen, it is actually even better. This isn't even bringing up the fact that one only needs to glance and remember the next few steps --- and the more the build order is used it becomes to be memorized, and the sheet is looked at less and less, just being used as a reminder or in case you forget a step.... Now, considering I've made my case that my 'cheat sheet', is just as effective as the overlay (more effective for me ...I don't need windowed full screen)... The thing is, I didn't NEED to use this program to make this cheat sheet - in fact the background to divide it into 3 sections was pulled from a template in MS publisher, and I could have used it to make then entire sheet, or any number of programs, or a damn crayon. I simply like the fact that not only can I use it to organize the build orders I like to try, but the huge plus is being able to simply drag the build over and make a 'wallpaper' that I can print..... Every person that has pointed out you can easily put a sticky note on the screen and do the same thing IS RIGHT!!! And the thing is, if you consider that cheating - you're not thinking.... At the pro level, THEY DON'T NEED BUILD ORDERS!!! The part where I said "the more the build order is used the less you look at the sheet".... well they have played their build orders SOOO much that it comes NATURAL - they have it MEMORIZED... and I'M SURE most if not ALL pro and competitive players started out using specific build orders and memorized them, likely by writing them down, maybe some experimented over and over in game to devise & perfectg their own builds - but i'm sure plenty memorized well-know BOs and tweaked them as they gained experienec, or possibly even using the web-based tools that let you look at the BO and analyze it visually, making adjustments and seeing how it affects the outcome. In summary, this program - even with the overlay ON SCREEN WHILE PLAYING, is pointless for cheating (if you need to see the build order & don't have it memorized, you're still practicing) It is pointless for anything other than learning and perfecting build order timing... So please, just because it is more convenient than writing on note pads or printing pages from the builds here on TeamLiquid - don't try and convince yourself that easier & more organized methods of doing the SAME THING is in any way related to cheating or being unfair.... if you think it could be cheating, simply THINK IT THROUGH.... Also, thank you Veritas for sharing this utility with others in the hope they may find it useful as well. (fyi, a few upgrade icons are missing, such as burrow, and i believe adrenal glands) | ||

The site that the auto-updater files were stored on, cjb.net, cut their free hosting service. Normally the application would fetch the latest patch data on startup but now it's stuck on 1.4.2. I'm curently working on a large update that adds quite a lot of new features, but in the meantime I've pushed out an update that uses the new auto-update site. If you have any feature requests for Version 3 now would be the time to ask  | ||

Well your no help. It may be a hack but its go to use vs A.I and to test build orders. Im just trying to fix it. | ||

Truly, one of a kind and amazing in its purpose. Now I know of the server issues, but I was just hoping if you could please keep us,users, up to date with your progress cause I can not speak for everyone but I am very eager (on the edge of my seat) to get my hands back on the new and improved SC2 NoteBook. Thank you in advance, Fellow User and SC2 Player | ||
