Campaign Launcher installation:
- launch the Starcraft 2 editor
- open the setup map named SCMRsetup in your Maps folder and click the "test document" button on the top right (or press ctrl+F9)
- wait until the launcher loads and you're at the title screen, then save the game and exit the map (press esc or F10 to open the game menu)
- find the save file (named "Starcraft - Mass Recall" by default) in (your home/documents folder)/Starcraft II/Saves/VersusAI
- copy or move the save file to the saves folder under your account folder (your home/documents folder)/Starcraft II/Accounts/.../.../Saves/Multiplayer (for example; any of the save folders will do)
- Done! You can now log into the appropriate account and load the save from the load game-screen. You can use this save to play each episode.
more info:
- You can copy the save file to whatever accounts you want. For example, if you want to play offline, copy it to your guest account folder.
- If you're unsure of the right folders or can't find the Starcraft II documents folder, log into an account of your choice in SC2, go to the load game-screen, click on a save and click the "show in folder"-button. It will take you to the appropriate saves folder.

Posted Apr 24, 2011I got some problems to report Mission 2: It seems that the Hunter killers do not benefit from weapon upgrates Mission 10: The khaydarin Crystal may appear somewhere arround the zerg base before the temple is destroyed For Infested Kerrigan, the melee attack is ok, but the range attack seems not benefit from weapon upgrates. There is also a problem of the Devourer, the weapon ungrates seems not correct for Devourer (If you ungrate airweapon to level 3, the Devourer's attack weapon will still be in level 1). Moreover, the Devourers are not able to attack units like Observers even is those observers can be viewed. Anyway, awesome work

Posted Apr 24, 2011@Telenil: Go What did you did on the 9th mission?It's extremely hard!I tried to mass mutalisk then go for guardians and devourers but the carriers and archons are just sooo damn strong!For example,i have 26 mutas,they attack my mutas with 4 scouts,1 just 1 carrier and an archon,and i end up with 10 mutas!Pls tell me what did you did cause i am getting confused.
PS:What i actually do in sc1 is kill all the protoss and then the drone can mine there with no protection whatsoever.And yes i did it with air.

Posted Apr 24, 2011About zerg mission 8: the DTs do fight their way through, if they run past your army, then you're probably too close to the end of the canyon. The level is practically impossible without lurkers, I didn't want to use brood war tech (and did the entire terran campaign without it) but by the end of the zerg campaign the zealot phalanges are too powerful to be repeled without them.
Additionnal bug reports: - Scouts and arbiter aren't affected by air weapon upgrades (only carriers seem to have increased damage) - Guardian attack prompt no response at all, units that are attacked by them stay idle until they die. They will attack the guardian if it comes in their aggro range, but never retaliate or flee.
Mission 9 and 10 were very challenging. Terran 7 and 8 were hard, too, but the final zerg mission felt far more rewarding due to the air/AoE waves, which meant muta deathcloud or mass units a-move didn't cut it. Intense fighting, macro on 4 hatcheries and continuous battles against various protoss strike forces: to me, the best missions in the remake, hands down.
Thank you for the awesome maps!

Posted Apr 24, 2011The campaign is awesome!I just passed through the 8th mission and really,it was a challenge!First i thought hydras can do the job,like in sc1,but the rievers,and the templars totally decimated them!It was also really hard to split my hydras on 3 locations!Even my whole group was barely fending of an attack!The Protoss were just to good!Then i made 5 lurkers at each location and it made it soooo more easy!If anyone haves trouble with this mission,just use lurkers!They'r so good!Anyways,then i decided to do mutaling,and it did work pretty well.I just used the mutas to pick of the rievers and the templars,the lings did the rest.I didn't even need many mutas,12-14 did the job.But they still were some bugs during the campaign.I'l list those that i found:
1.The Scourges don't cost anything unless suply.
2.On mission 9 the crystal somehow spawns in my base after a few minutes.
3.I couldn't infest Jimmy's Command Center on the 5th mission.I already know that the queens are bugged,but the "spawn broodling"ability seems to be working fine.
4.There are infestor upgrades on the queen's nest,not queen upgrades.
5.The Kerrigan portrait doesn't apear,on that little window witch displays your unit's health and portrait,also if you click on it it selects the hero.
Everything else seems to be working fine.I can't imagine how awesome is goin to be the protoss campaign!But please make the dragoons look different.They'r design kinda sucks.
PS:Sorry for bad english.

Posted Apr 21, 2011Hi, Great job with the campaign, I can see it's really the best sc1 to sc2 mod i've seen.
These maps are identical to the original, When i play on the campaign i feel that i'm playing SC1 like when i was a kid, but in starcraft 2 with cool graphics.
Now somethings i want to point out: -Devourers fire rate is way too slow, i remember in brood war they were slow, but 5.6 (idr) is way too slow I think, i might be wrong tho. -Scourges don't spawn in pair and they cost no mineral. -Spine Colony projectile doesn't disappear (it might be a problem with my graphics i think) So idk.
That is it, but owell yesterday i finished the campaign, it was hard but Worth it...

Posted Apr 21, 2011Good job with the campaigns so far! It's really well done, but...
-Scourges don't cost a thing, and they don't spawn in pairs. -Queen's Nest is showing Infestor upgrades. -I'm sure you already know, but Mission 9, the bug where the Khaydarin Crystal shows up at your base for no reason... -Also in Mission 9, the expansion below the body of water at the Northeast corner of the map, you can't build an extractor there since the terrain is actually blocking the placement of the building. -Though it should be looked into if possible, the scourges barely move apart when they clump up together like mutas and other air units.

Posted Apr 21, 2011A minor "hotfix" should be available momentarily, once it gets approved. A more thorough update will be coming sooner or later.
jankulit:
Sounds like the issue definitely has something to do with the Chrysalis/Khaydarin Crystals. See if the new update helps.
Wunterwaffen:
Not yet. =P

Posted Apr 19, 2011It's done and still not working. I really think it's all because of the beacons which makes the maps unstable for me. because mission 2, 9 and 10 has beacons which has to be reached to win :) damn i really want to play this :( and also the dragoons and the reaver still has no models :(

Take this file and place that in the Mods folder of your Starcraft II directory. http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/sc1-episode-1-rebel-yell/files/6-sc1-mod-v1-02/
Same folder where Blizzard dependencies are located.

It sounds like you need to enable administrator privileges. With that error, Galaxy Editor has no permission to create the folder it needs to and Windows is blocking it. Could be related to the mod files missing as well.

Posted Apr 18, 2011I tried starting it in SC2 Editor via Test Map (Ctrl + f9) but it still does not work and it says Error: Unable to create directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Maps\Test/' System Error: Access is denied. I think i have a missing file. Also the dragoons, reaver and shuttle looks just like white balls which attacks (except for shuttle) on the other missions which i am able to play. Help me please :) Mine is enGB.
