First off, the closed beta testers group for this website has been determined, and no more applicants will be accepted. The only way to get into the beta testing now is to register for the StarCraft Hacker's Tournament.



Contrary to popular belief, Freedom is not being offered as a prize for the tournament. It is only being beta tested. The prizes listed for winning the tournament are listed here. Registration is free, and you have a chance to win $150! There may be surprise tournament modes as well if there are enough tournament applicants. So register now! This may be the coolest Starcraft tournament you've ever witnessed!]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:17:22 +0000 http://www.freedomhack.com/index.php/topic/9-beta-testing/ http://www.freedomhack.com/index.php/topic/12-freedom-hack-update/

• Features
  This hack will have all the features you can imagine. Just think of every hack combined into one. But here's a brief description of some of the existing features we've made improvements to.
  
  Selection Hack - So far, people have only seen Zynastor's 252 unit selection hack. Freedom will enable you to select up to 1,700 units. This is the maximum number of units Starcraft is able to create in any game. So theoretically, if you were to own that many units, you'd be able to select them all.
  
  
  Building Build Queue (BBQ) - Ever played Warcraft 3 and tell a peon to build several buildings using the shift key? Only to play Starcraft and realize that you can't do that? Well, here's your answer! Freedom now has the Building Build Queue tucked safely under it's belt! Building multiple buildings quickly with ease. You'll never have to worry about micro-managing those workers anymore!
  
  
  Virtual Location Engine - Some of you have seen KC's old Kacow location hack. It let users create basic custom locations that ordered units around for you. Freedom will have a vastly improved version of the Virtual Location Engine, as it's come to be called, ready at your disposal. You'll now be able to create basic trigger locations that will allow you to set when a location is used or "activated" based upon simple conditions much like Starcraft's trigger and location system.
  
  
  Microcommand - Most of you know what a multicommand is, but what about a microcommand? Not very many have seen a hack like this in action. Most programmers keep hacks like this as experiments, or private because of it's versatility and power. To make a long story short, this hack will make all of your units act independently of each other. Telling one Science Vessel to irradiate a Drone will make all your selected Science Vessels irradiate the nearest Drone within a certain radius of themselves and of the selected Drone. So if you have a large amount of Science Vessels, you'll have a large amount of irradiated Drones.
  
  Expanded Unit Kill Counters - This is more of an aesthetic fix for Starcraft. Because of the way Starcraft was designed, the limit for unit kill counters is 255. We've increased that limit so that you can kill up to 4294967295 units and have the counter display the correct amount of kills.
  
  
  
  
• Expanded Cross Realm Friends List
  This idea was first implemented by Permy's Starspeak. However he did not create a feasible way for your client, or for Starcraft, to keep track of different users. This system has been updated, and restructured to give you the easiest, and fastest way to communicate with your friends from different servers!
  
  
  
• Anti-Maphack Protected Maphack
  Ever played on one of those maps that had anti-maphack features enabled? Most maphacks don't cover every invalid sprite crash that the map makers can create to crash maphacks. Freedom's maphack will cover every one of them. Thanks to the map-making community and our team of programmers, we've got all our bases covered when it comes to being able to see your enemy. And plus, with our new graphical system, all crash sprites will appear with a special custom sprite. This maphack also specially displays hallucinated units as exactly that, as you can see form the image below, now with player colors!
  
  
  
  
  
  
• New Unit Graphics
  Freedom nows has new unit graphics that allow you to see what you are selecting when selecting multiple units and buildings at the same time! No longer will you have to worry about what you are selecting!
  
  
  
  
• IP Based Banlist
  For those of you who like using banlists, most people have heard of ulliklliwi's Blacklist. With it's most recent update, it still has many bugs in regards to tracking player's names, and IP addresses. As with everything else, this banlist will be updated and fixed to run properly without those pesky commands. Now you'll be able to add a player to your banlist by merely choosing from the list of features we've added to each player's drop down menu in the game lobby.
  
  
  
  
• Customizable Hotkey and Game Interface
  Freedom will grant it's users, freedom. It's a nice idea, and will give you the power to mod basic aspects of Starcraft! You'll be able to change the hotkeys for every feature in Freedom, as well as change the hotkeys for any unit command actions. You'll even be able to change the configuration of the button grid in Starcraft! More features concerning the modification of the button grid are in the works! We'll soon allow users to create, and integrate their own custom buttons with Freedom to be used in Starcraft!

Since we only have limited slots available we can't just let anyone in. So in this topic, we want you to post why you think you'd be a good choice for helping test the hack. Be reminded that from testers we expect feedback and bug reports that will be helpful to the hacks development.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:07:28 +0000 http://www.freedomhack.com/index.php/topic/60-looking-for-new-testers/ http://www.freedomhack.com/index.php/topic/994-freedom-now-available/ http://www.freedomhack.com/index.php/forum/19-beta-testing-discussion/
