StarFriend allows people to play without having a Retail Account and please remember that StarCraft 2 is a great game ! This is why we can't have nice things.... | ||

When they dont care for people, who obvious cheat they will not ban you for using such a tool. Also i never heard about someone who got banned for using the" background switcher" or the "relocalisator". I used last one from beginning and never had a problem. Ironically, this program by TheSuperCow only helps the experience of SC2. This is a "postive" tool for the SC2 community. Most hacks are "negative" tools for the SC2 community - that includes cheats, map cheats, disconnect cheats, LAN emulator (well, Blizzard considers LAN emulator to be negative), etc. I hope Blizzard looks the other way for this tool from TheSuperCow until they implement a way to continue a game from a disconnect. Until Blizzard add such a feature, I hope they are sensible enough to let the use of this tool slide. | ||

 ) and this thread to the SC2 team. (that'll happen in a hour of 6/7 as he's asleep now). The least this will do is make sure that Blizzard knows about it so we can have more clarity if they allow it or not etc etc. | ||

It's also ridiculous how amateur coders are doing these amazing things for esports that Blizzard can't or refuses to implement. | ||

It's also ridiculous how amateur coders are doing these amazing things for esports that Blizzard can't or refuses to implement. I think it is more of "havn't thought of" then anything else. But then again I don't know how hard this hack was to make. I have personaly always wondered why the tournaments didn't just make a custom map identical to the last second of a drop and let them play from there. This is basicly the same thing just way less work. | ||

This is basicly the same thing just way less work. If you mean the custom map has to save the game state every second to disk, that is not good because it would result in massive lag. As for when the "lag" window comes up when a player is lagging, my hunch is that custom maps do not have control at that point. Of course, I'm not a custom map expert so maybe a custom map expert can answer this - why can't a custom map save the game when the "lag" window pops up and the countdown to disconnect progresses. | ||

No that was not what I was thinking. I meant that if you drop on say Entombed Valley, you open the mad editor on Entombed Valley and add buildings units and remove minerals and gas as seen at the time of disconnect and then save the map and let the players play from there. It should not take that much time to set up for someone experienced (30min maybe?), since you really only have to add units and change gas and mineral patches. | ||

It should not take that much time to set up for someone experienced (30min maybe?), since you really only have to add units and change gas and mineral patches. And set every unit's hitpoints and energy, position them correctly, figure out a way to give the players vision under FOW of things they'd seen up to that point, figure out what orders every unit was operating under... I think it would take significantly more than 30 minutes to precisely reproduce a scenario, and it would be incredibly difficult to get it right. Saving game state periodically or the solution in the OP are really the only two plausible ways to go about this. | ||
