Hi everyone,
This is my first post on TL. I am a game developer and myself and my mate Matt were watching Showcraft today and decided to take a break from work to write a little application that will notify you when you need to inject larva. Just wanted to share it with you all and I hope it helps some of the less proficient players like myself.
(This application does not interact with the SC2 client in anyway)
You can download it for free at the following site. There is also some instructions on how to use it. If you like the tool please let me know. We are considering making one for Mules and Chronoboost.
Zerg Link: Zerg Timer
Terran Link: Terran Timer
Protoss Link: Protoss Timer
UPDATE:
We created applications for every race so now you can all cheat/practice depending on how you view this app. 
|
wow done? thanks so much!!! <3
|
This is probably considered cheating....
|
It just a tool to help people learn 
|
I consider larva injects a good measure of how strong a Zerg player is. This is just way too artificial for me... ;;
|
You are going to get a lot of posts like the one above, but I don't personally mind this. People could be doing a lot worse things in my opinion like using large macros or hacks. I don't use these but I think they will be beneficial to some people. There are like 50 of these though.
|
I feel like this is cheating a little bit. No.
|
Yeah.. this is definitely considered cheating
|
does this know when you have finished your inject rounds? if not, 5 minutes into the game your timer will be off by like 20-30 seconds.
people have tried this before, and it usually just doesn't work correctly. unless you have the above mentioned feature, it will be quite useless.
not to mention there are already 500 of these on the internet.
|
You could just as easily set this up with a stopwatch. It's just a tool intended to get people in the habit of larva injecting. If you are a bad player having something beep at you every 30 seconds isn't going to fix that.
|
cheating... I do not like things like this, your skills should be there. MAYBE if your playing vs a computer then I can see it being ok... but I dislike this when playing real 1v1s.

Useful for practice, but in ladder, 100% cheating.

|
doesnt sc2 already notify you when larva inject is done? they added it as part of a patch.
|
How is this cheating? You get a mental clock eventually anyway...how is this different to beginners using metronomes to stutterstep, eventually you just do it automatically

gotta agree with this one here

It sounds awesome, but Blizzard has always been pretty unforgiving regarding any tiers software that would create a disadvantage to the player not using it so you should probably be aware that you might get banned if they don't like it. If I were you i would post on the official forums to ask if you can use it or not if you don't want to get an unintended ban.

Uh, how would Blizzard know if you're running a program that doesn't change anything about the SC2 client at all?

The difference being that you can't use a metronome during a competition or an exam.
I'm pretty sure you this fits Battle.net's definition of cheating, i.e. someone can report you if you use this during a game (even though I don't see how they will detect you are using it). Maybe it will help you when practicing, I don't know, but it will 100% be unfair if you use it on ladder.

You're using a Third Party program to give yourself an unfair advantage.
