PLEASE READ NOTES BELOW
Many of the following are limitations of the technology we use to do these bot games
- Your game client will launch 2 windows. 1 of them will be yours and one of them will belong to the bot.
- You will be able to hear the bot’s sound, click on its window and hit (Control + Shift +S) to disable its sound
- Alt + Enter goes into Full Screen
- Hotkeys: To get your hotkeys to work you need to : “ Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts######\Hotkeys ” to: “ Documents\StarCraft II\Hotkeys ”(if the folder isn’t there, create one) . You will only need to do this once. You will be able to select your hotkeys from the hotkey menu.
- You cannot pause the game
- When you’re done locate the folder called Replays in the Sc2AiApp folder (If there is no replay there check your StarCraft II Replay folder)
- Rename your replay to include your name, league and bot - Example : Caerwyn_MasterI_MicroMachine . This helps with choosing games to be casted
- Please also include games you lose
