Ok, so I have this simple idea. Create a map that doesn't accept user input, and just have say zerglings and marines spawn off screen and set to attack move to the center of the map. A camera rotates slowly around the battle area. Simple screensaver. Then, simply have a program that runs in the background. On mouse move or keyboard input, close the starcraft 2 process that it launched.
Sounds good in theory right? Have a semi-spiffy SC2 real time screen saver. Problem is, when I do the command to run the game with a specified map, I get a cannot load map error, yet if I go into the game and manually load the level it works fine. (Note, I haven't made the level for the screen saver yet. I figured I'd make sure it worked right.)
Anyone have any idea why the command line won't work? Here is the command line I'm using.
C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II>"starcraft ii.exe" -run "/slag central/slag central.sc2map"
It'd just be kind of spiffy to have a real time, dynamic starcraft 2 screen saver. (Also, does anyone know if there is a command line to change volume levels?)
