SC2Mapster

Turns out you do have a defiler.. it just didn't show up until Episode 6. But that's OK. I'd still be interested in creating some of the original buildings that it seems you are using placeholders for.. like the Queen's Nest and the Terran Acadamy. I also noticed some units warped in as something different than their actual model. I'm assuming you just don't have the 'warp in' animation or whatever's needed for that?

For the life of me, I cannot get this to work. I've redownloaded it multiple times, and I constantly get "Unable to open map." Not only that, but the version in the bottom left reads something old, like 1.5, as opposed to the 2.0 that the game is at. I cannot load the campaign setup, or any of the maps.

My only guess as to why it's not working is because HotS just came out and it hasn't been updated yet. I tried the recent files thing that was talked about earlier, but that version is somehow older than the one on this page. Can anyone help me?

EDIT: I just got it to work. Somehow I wound up with SC2 installed twice, and was simply using the older, incorrect installation. Works fine now.

Scenario 4: The Jacobs Installation
Issue: switching between FPS <-> RTS views. Yeah, the control schemes ought to change when the cameras do. This problem still has not been fixed (I have the most up-to-date version of this scenario and the BWmod).

So, I'm loving reliving the Starcraft 1 campaign in the superior Starcraft 2 engine. I noticed, having finished the first 3 episodes, that you guys are still missing some models.. mostly zerg. (defiler, sunken colony, etc.) I have some modelling capability. See, particularly, my Vasudan Character model here. (Note p3d.in doesn't allow hi-res textures.)

I'm curious, what does it take to create a model and get it working in SC2? I'm familiar with getting models into a space sim and suspect it's similar. I assume it needs animations, debris, and stuff?

Or, alternatively, if I provide a decent mesh/textures are you guys able to do the rest?

Additionally, I have some experience modelling/rendering environments. Seen Here. I'm considering whipping up hi-res versions of the Terran/Zerg/Protoss briefing rooms. Would that be useful?

EDIT: I'm watching some videos on how to extract SC2 models. I'll pull one out and take a look at what it contains to see if I can figure out what it needs.

Now, I know that there were those two "scrapped" missions hidden in the original StarCraft CD: "Biting the Bullet" and "Operation Silent Scream". Will there be considerations in adding these missions in a future rendition of the mod?

Also, has there been any consideration for modding the Precursors campaign?

Like Mynormal I can't seem to get it working either. My problem is that there isn't an opportunity to save anywhere. Once all of the files are in place I click test document and I get the Mass Recall loadscreen. Then the ingame GUI looks like it wants to load, but never does completely. Once the GUI crashes I get the SC1 Flash screen then the Mass Recall episode screen, and the only option is "exit".

My SC2 files are up to date and I'm pretty sure that all of the mod files are properly placed (instructions are a little unclear about whether the map files go directly into the maps folder or if they should be placed in the maps folder inside the 1. Rebel Yell folder).

Looks great though, too bad it doesn't work for me.

EDIT: I had been trying to use the mod according to the instructions under the "How to Play" section above. I opened the PDF file to see more detailed instructions in case I was missing something. The detailed PDF instructions tell you to open the file Campaign Launcher NOT "setup" (once you have the files properly placed and are ready to play) and then click on Test Document. Apparently this was why it wasn't working for me as I can now play "Rebel Yell" with no problem.

Thanks for the mod, looks great, especially the little Confederate battle flags on the buildings.

I LOVE the idea! I'd like to play it, buuuuut no matter what I try, I keep getting an error that says "unable to open map". All I've installed so far is Episode 1.

I've checked again and again that all the files are where they should be:

D:\Games\SC2\Mods\SC1BWmod.SC2mod D:\Games\SC2\Maps\1. Rebel Yell\ (contains level maps) D:\Games\SC2\Maps\SCBW Campaign Launcher.SC2Map D:\Games\SC2\Maps\SCMRsetup.SC2Map

Only way I can figure to load it is to run it from the editor. It doesn't matter which file I open though, still get the same error.

Any advice?

Hi guys.

Firstly, well done - this is absolutely amazing. Having a few problems, though:

I've followed the walkthrough on how to play this to the letter but the animations are still off. I appear to be half looking through the unit portrait's heads at the briefing (and sometimes it's just totally black). Cutscenes completely die, too - whenever they move, it's just black screen. The actual in-game content is fine, though, except a few units (like zerglings) are just little domes when I run around, and some units don't show up during fights.

I assume this is an animation issue to do with the mod but my technical expertise ends there really. Any help, anyone?

If I'm not mistaken... the Infested Terrans in mission 2 had the assault rifle attack (even though they weren't infested marines). Just a small bug report.

another issue in addition to what nedsociety posted:, also v1.5.1 mod 4.6

All Marines on the Scenario 9 (New Ghettisburg), no matter whether the initial or later trained are rallied to the initial starting marine position when exiting Dropships or Bunkers. Probably some still going trigger from the initial Marine drop

General: there's a spelling error in the Unit Help of the Defiler's Plague "Eveolve Plague ..."

Minor issues to report (found on v1.5.1, mod v4.6, Kerrigan difficulty if possible)

• Mod problem - there is no button (nor ESC keypress) to cancel SCV construction at Command Center.
• Mod problem - Spider Mine is repairable. Hmm...
• Tutorial (Boot Camp) - Continue Campaign button is not working.
• Scenario 5 - Mouse cursor disappears on the scoreboard.
• Scenario 7 - I'm not sure whether it's intended or not. Bunch of enemy marines and tanks will just wander around the expansion located on the right side of the base.
• Scenario 9 - It's bit silly, but you can actually lose after finishing the objectives during the final dialogue by killing the zerg buildings. It would be safe to make them invincible after you kill every Protoss buildings.

Queen of Blades!!
