Hey everyone! This is Ryan from GameHeart. As many of you may know, I recently had the opportunity to spend some time at Blizzard to work on an official WCS version of GameHeart. That project is nearly complete and is will soon be available for testing on the 2.1.4 PTR. In this blog I am going to give you an overview of the different features and changes we have made in our work on WCS GameHeart. If you want more detail about these features, the project, and my time at Blizzard please check out my more comprehensive blog over on Team Liquid which will be coming soon.
There were four main parts to this project:
- The WCS GameHeart extension mod
- New StarCraft II gameplay features
- An entirely new type of StarCraft II mod called “Logos.SC2Mod”
- The WCS 2.0 interface
Ryan goes on to explain each of these. The WCS GameHeart extension mod will include the following features
- Production Labels
- Upgrade Notifications
- Workers Killed Notifications
- Map Notifications (e.g. scans)
The StarCraft II gameplay features include
- Stronger Team Colors
- Team Colored Effects
- Logo Support
The Interface Mod will include
- Changing between 16x9 and 16x10 resolutions
- Cycle panels to cycle through information (e.g. supply, workers, income)
- Player name overwrite (e.g. IIIIIIIIII changed to a player name)
- Custom player intros
For a complete description check out the original source. It's worth noting that features like stronger team colors will be available on the ladder. It's really awesome to see Ryan and Blizzard come together to make this happen. All of the staff have been watching in awe of the GameHeart project development going on in the GameHeart thread. We eagerly await his more comprehensive blog post!
