Today, some player was stupid enough to decide to create a new account and stream while Map Hacking. He quickly found himself with 80 viewers and got to in 3 hours.

I took the occasion to watch how Map Hack software works and I took some screenshots to share.

The streamer:

The video (if he doesn't delete it): http://www.twitch.tv/ilililililil1/b/316457612

How it works

You see your oponent minerals, gas and population as in a replay.













Map Hack software settings (he changed them when playing )




He's French speaking because we've seen him watch French Battle Net while on stream ...

true dat LOL

Sorry Slowhand, I edited my first post while watching his video. In fact he purposely created a new account and decided to stream from the placement match while Map Hacking. He ended in .

i hate maphackers

[x5.Revenant]

Forcefield timers, that shyt is good.
Oh and cheaters are disgusting.

[Flaunt]

he probably made it and is advertising it on stream. he's not stupid, just wants more money.

[mGGNemesis]

While my intial feelings were mixed with slight horror, I'm glad to see players fend off his attacks and win.

[ROOTPetraeus]

I always wondered how this stuff works o_o Thanks for the insight, Nemo!

[x5.NotoriouS]

wow, didn't realise maphack was THAT powerful like it full shows the production tab and gives u tips lol

[SPGDoG]

Anyway, regarding about how maphack works, I never expected the maphack software can also make the production tab appear on your game screen. If you add that up with maphack, then you would only need to look at the minimap to see the enemy's movements, and you only need to glare at the production tab to see what the enemy is making. You wouldn't even need to scroll your screen to see what's going on on your enemy's base.

...And for some reason even with maphack some people STILL can't get past Diamond. I guess you truly need to understand and master the game if you want to get to masters, huh :P

[TAEaeron]

I have also wondered how this works lol; seems silly to just show it on stream, forcefield timers would be a welcome addition for attacks

[inFeZa]

oh wow !
i didnt know hacks were so complex! the unload warning, supply depot warning...
why would he stream this btw?

[deL]

This thread makes me want to hack

[TADivinity]

This is far more complex than I had ever anticipated.

I played a Protoss with the same sort of name as this guy. Watched the replay - he definitely wasn't hacking because I snuck a gold base that he never found ahah.

Still very annoying that this shit is running in some 'black market communities' though

[FaMe]

I played someone with roughly the same name last night. Very likely wasn't the same person, but even so. Didn't know about so many alert's to supply/drops etc

[ROOT`iaguz]

I almost like a controlled custom map like this to practice noobies on so they can have things yelling at them to build depots, anticipate drops and learn timings. Then take it off and see what happens. Training wheels of a sort.

That is very interesting.

	nirvAnA:	+1 They should make a training wheels map just like this for people, will help for sure
	Reere:	This should be in like, easy mode of campaign~

[Zepph]

That's really interesting o_o I can't help but think maphacks like this would be really good for practicing to understand timings and when you should be scouting your opponent....but only in custom games. I sure wish I had something that told me when to inject my hatcheries like it tells you to build supply depots though!

edit: iaguz y u post the same thoughts a second before I do? T_T stop it
