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 Jun 11, 2011Eagerly awaiting the Protoss campaign and hopefully brood war campaigns. I just can't go back to playing them on the original after seeing yours.
One comment on the difficulty and peoples responses: If you find it too hard you can always edit the maps. One part of Rebel Yell was too much for me so I simply added double the starting resources. No need to tell the map creators they're failures just because I am :)
Great work guys.

Posted Jun 11, 2011The ending cinematic better be worth it, especially since you can use the real overmind instead of a hive blown up to 4 times it's normal size like in the beta.

Yeah, I'm not entirely satisfied with the Kerrigan third person level myself. In retrospect, making that map took way too much time considering the amount/quality of gameplay in it. Whatever though, it works okay so I'm content with it, for now at least. =P optional RTS mode is likely to be added at some point in the future.
littlelionfish:
Hmm. Thanks for the input. I'm trying to finish up a little update for the Terran campaign and move on to the Zerg. Might have to redo some triggers, I'll look into it when I get there.
thebaron87:
Fair enough. Not quite sure what you mean by balance; it'd be very difficult to recreate the exact balance of the original game in the SC2 engine, but I think Maverck's done a pretty outstanding job so far. No intentional "rebalancing" has been done, that's for sure. Unless you mean the difficulty; Ultraling mentioned he wanted to add a difficulty level equivalent to the original with the same attack waves and such. Of course, with the improved UI and mechanics, that'd be even easier than the original...
Wunterwaffen:
Glad you're still interested. Uh, hang in there! We'll get back to you.

Posted Jun 3, 2011SC2 controls sure, no problem with that. The biggest problem with SC1 was the limitations of its interface. I mean gameplay changes like the Brood War units, 3rd person maps, and rebalancing. Basically I'd like to see an option to play 1:1 recreations of the missions themselves, balance included, but with the improved graphics and control of SC2.
Still, nice work putting so much time into what is here, it's more than anyone else has done to remake Starcraft.

Posted Jun 3, 2011Thanks for this great mod!
I've encountered the same problem as several forum-ers: can't play zerg mission 9, 10. I followed the post by CraftMasterTheBlackHayate dated Sat, 14 May 2011 11:03:36 (3rd page from this post) trying to fix the map.
When I load the map with SC Map Editor, click Triggers, an error comes out: Warning: Invalid trigger element reference removed from Parameter Value 'Property' (Preset Value, F1809B89, Lib: Ntve). Then I apply the method stated by CraftMasterTheBlackHayate and click Save, a Script Compile Error comes out: Line 647, TriggerAddEventUnitProperty(gt_Emitter2, null, ) ;.
Then I go to Emitter2 section in the Triggers window, under Events/Unit, I change the Property from "No Value" to "Preset: Life" and save the map. The map works now ( starts normally with briefing ) but I don't know if it's the correct way or not because I know nothing about these SC Maps.
Hope the authors or others can find out what's going on with it. If others encounter similar problems, I think it's the minority, this method can relieve you temporarily.
PS: I try to change only the Emitter2 Event property without changing the Portrait X Wait value mentioned by CraftMasterTheBlackHayate, it also works.
PS1: Finish mission 9 w/o an error.
PS2: Finish mission 10 w/o an error.
PS3: This is method to counter problems with loading all missions with objective "carrying something to somewhare".

Posted May 29, 2011The first terran FPS mission was good, the one with Kerrigan feels a bit weird due to the fact that you have to be in melee to attack enemies, and it's difficult to know when you are in range. I'm a bit worried about the protoss installation level, all the thrill of this level came for the slow exploration of the map with the use of hallucinations, and clearing of infested terrans. It really wouldn't be the same as a TPS.

Posted May 29, 2011Hello!
I wonder if you also could make an original map instead of tps, so the people can choose which one to play.
The reason is, I love to play it on tps ,but playing on original gives me a better feeling than it

Posted May 25, 2011The only 3 complains i have are a) since when can a marine kill a hydralisk while both on 0/0 (impossible even in the origi) b) Kerrigan isnt a hero she is a thor with cloak (squished by 1 tank in the time she comes to him) - give her 10 hp regen and at least 4 armor at the start (or return her the op ranged ground attack instead of the armor) c) why didnt someone redo this campaign before - its epic (even with the bugs, sequence breaks and the new objectives) everyone who played the original must try this if he is a gamer.

Posted May 25, 2011I should've pointed out this known issues page sooner. Thanks for all the feedback and such. I'll need to go over some things regarding the mod file with Ultraling at some point. Both of us have other things going on at the moment, but there'll be updates coming.
thebaron87:
A subtitle like, what was it, "Starcraft Reimagined" or "Starcraft Whatever"? Sorry, I have too big of an ego to do a version like that. (Yeah, I was bored at work)
But seriously, sure there's always a chance. It'd probably be in the form of options within the maps. What exactly do you mean with "exact remake", though? No Brood War units? No cutscenes? All the original sound effects? 12 unit selection? We've kept the story and dialogue pretty much exactly the same. As for gameplay, obviously there's the improved SC2 controls which I see no reason not to use, and some Brood War units, which actually are pretty optional as it is. Difficulty... yeah. Some like it, some hate it. You'll have to wait for easy mode a while longer.
I dunno... we're not claiming it to be an exact port, and I don't see why it should be. I think it's faithful, though.

Posted May 23, 2011Any chance we could get a version without the "artistic license"? Same for the Terran campaign.
Or at least a subtitle on the name, since this isn't actually a exact remake of SC1?

Oh yes - there's no doubting the excellence of the overall creation! :D (which some of my raving previous posts on this and the Terran campaign can attest to) I was just adding to the bug report for a different quality setting. ;)
And to say that I'm eagerly looking forward to the Protoss campaign and the Brood War missions in a huge understatement! :D

Have that also on normal settings. The higher the setting, the smaller the bug. But i think its not a very big bug. I enjoy that the creator tried to copy the old attackgraphics. Excellent work. I know from my past map creatings how difficult it is to copy the old AI. And i love what you did! :-D
