Hey, my name is Asaf, from the Overwolf team. You can open the Overwolf dock and click on the little wrench icon to get into the settings. Then look for the "Hotkeys" tab, you'll be able to change the SpawningTool hotkeys there. I hope it helps!

Wow good stuff!

This is actually something that could have helped bring in new players a while ago...I'm not 100% sure I'll prefer having that much of the screen taken up but this is definitely an awesome tool. Particularly for beginners or people jumping back in.

Is this legal? Dont want to get banned for "cheating" ----> Licence agreement... has someone checked what Blizz says about 3rd party software in background?
Otherwise this is great i would use it!

Wow! This is super cool! Huge thanks to everyone who made this possible!
|
Very nice initiative. Don't think it'll help much the game from hemorraging players though.

Otherwise this is great i would use it! Yes this complies with EULA; this is no more than a (much more convenient) sticky note on your monitor!

Actually the hotkeys don't work for me either, wether i use the default ones or change them.

However I did stop using it because as a random player I am unable to start a build fast enough after the start of the match consistently and would miss the "grace period" or whatever it is for syncing up with the in-game clock. I was unable to use the tool on ~75% of my games unless I spam clicked the filters before building a worker and got the selection confirmed in time.
Will there be any grace time extensions or plans for random players to be able to utilize this app?
Thanks
We know this is an issue for some players and its on the list of things to do in the future

We have permission from Blizzard. We had the same thoughts and reached out to them before release

When you just play ladder nobody really cares, in torunaments it would be a problem, and for learning builds an empty Custom is way better
EDIT: ladder games are way to stressful, and like any other Sport, focus on one thing at a time

Very nice. I like it a lot

hello what I haven't liked about the SALT tool really is just the fact I can't add steps like ''swap barracks on reactor'' or ''send scouting SCV'' or ''push out now'' etc. so many things that seem important to me but that I just can't implement. Will this tool fix that?

Good point. We will integrate that into the app. On the website, you can add a "unit" into your build order called "Action" and then put notes out to the right (for example, see http://lotv.spawningtool.com/build/42702/ ). We haven't put the notes into the overwolf overlay yet, but we can definitely do that.

Is there anyway to change the hotkey to pause the build order from F6 to something else? The only hotkey options in the settings I get is to change "show spawning tool" and "lock spawning tool miniwindow".
I think the build shouldn't follow the timer as well but the supply instead, right now for example if you have to pull a worker to stop a probe killing your scv you fall behind by like 5 seconds and then it snowballs and you're miles behind the build. Maybe add an option to either follow supply or timer if that is possible?
Also is there anyway to make it so you can adjust the size of the window with the build in? My monitor is 2560 x 1440 and the text is pretty small.
Overall though it has a lot of potential I think, will be using it more!

Wow, I have played sc2 in years and have been reluctant to start up because of the work of learning new build orders. Now I think I'll pick it back up.

Was about time. Great work. Keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback. A few responses on this:
1. Definitely will look into the hotkeys. We have gotten a lot of feedback about this, so we will improve the experience with that
2. Unfortunately, it's tricky to follow supply counts. That would require that we be inspecting the state of the game more continuously (instead of just detecting the start of the game), and that gets into a slippery slope. Also, in your example, if you were to lose a SCV, then all of the supply counts would be off by 1 anyways.
3. Others have mentioned the screen size as well, and we will look into it. There's a bit of a balancing act between making it visible and also not covering up too much of the game itself, but hopefully we will come to a good balance.
Thanks again for trying it out and providing feedback!

This doesn't seem to be working for it as the spawning tool app keeps disappearing into the background when I launch SC2. Also, the game timer on the spawning pool app doesn't start when the game has been started.
