I had a couple, but i thought id swallow my frustration and give this core at least a month, that's why i edited my post
Im a Diamond and i've been using the Core for quite some time, but i must also say that my patience for every new release is making me wonder if i shouldn't ditch it altogether

As the older version (6.2) isn't available for download this means i cannot play any ladder games or any decent games at all :/

How do i assign the - to navigating control groups again? as soon as i bind it all the other CGS get screwed up..

Anyway I strayed from my question and reason for signing up altogether, here goes; Has the chameleon version been completely abandoned? I like it the best when looking through the visualizer but can only find [R]ace[H]and[S]ize layouts for download.

I linked to 0.6.3 in an earlier post. Essentially you have to look through the GitHub history to find the version you want.

I just tried to use this, left handed medium sized version, and make roaches was bound to "K". Is that right?

On QWERTY keyboards, K would be used by righties. The core puts your keyboard hand on the wrong side for typing so that you can easily use the thumb for CTRL and SHIFT.

For example, I use qwerty TRM (my right hand controls the mouse) and my home row for my left hand is JIOP

Well... there is no Japanese version of TheCore. Are you using a Japanese keyboard? :/

That's what I would have said, but K for Roaches is the only mistake he noted. Otherwise there would be a lot more complaints.

As such, I'm sure he is familiar with the way it is supposed to be. Either way, we need more information to assess the problem.

Nope. Standard US.



I downloaded and installed "TheCore ZLM Beta.SC2Hotkeys" on May 4th from the Skydrive account, but there seems to be at least one mistake, namely that the "spawn roaches" command or whatever is "K", which is the default for standard left handed I think.

Check the first column and compare

Thanks. I'll go through all my command keys and compare with that. And someone should fix it in the file, assuming my computer isn't doing something weird.

BTW, I still am not sure I understand layered injects. I have watched the video a couple times but I'm still not really getting it. I'd appreciate some guidance.

According to that chart, I should have my hatcheries and queens on W?

And there's one control key that is recalled just by pressing W, but another one that is recalled by pressing Shift + W?

The other two cams I use for spreading creep.
Cam 1 is recalled with ctrl+H and set with ctrl+I
Cam 2 is recalled with ctrl+O and set with ctrl+J
Spread Creep is bound to U. "Choose ability or AI target" is also bound to U, which lets me rapid-fire spread creep just by holding down U and moving my mouse around, rather than left-clicking.

You set the cams up over the locations where you're spreading creep, then
Hold CTRL down the whole time
Put your fingers on HUIO (pinky H index O)
H goes to your first creep place
Click tumor (selects all tumors since you're holding ctrl)
Move your mouse around while holding U to spread your tumors
Click queen if there is one
Hold U to make her set a tumor
Scoot your camera forward a bit so it's over these newly created tumors
Press I reset your camera
Press O to go to your second location
Click tumor (selects all since you're still holding ctrl)
hold U and spread tumors
Click queen if there is one
Hold U and spread tumors
Move your camera forward a bit so it's over the new tumors
Press J to set your cam as you move your fingers back to their resting position (JIOP).

And that's that.



I know that sounds really convoluted and crazy, but it's actually really fast and smooth.

For you, I believe the key to add to that control group should be F. For the record, the "spawn roach key" you were asking about earlier should also be F for you.

As a nearly complete newbie to SC2, I'm jumping into modified hotkeys including TheCore as I don't have much muscle memory to unlearn. Because I'm so new, I don't have a favored race yet that I "main". That said, it seems like Zerg is one of the more - needy - races when it comes to hotkeys because of injecting and creep spread. What is the suggested layout? I realize the obvious answer would be 'random', but my fear is learning it and realizing down the road that I want to main Zerg afterall and having to relearn... would it be better to use the Zerg layout even when playing P or T, swap between layouts based on race, use P or T and 'suffer' with Z, etc?
