The second installment of the classic Starcraft campaigns. Uses the same mod file as the previous episode, and again, credit for the mod goes to MavercK. Also thanks to Ultraling for his initial work on the Terran episode, and GnaReffotsirk and others for the amazing unit models.
Features
- all 10 original missions
- original SC1 units and structures with original stats, including custom models
- original SC1 Zerg soundtrack
- all the dialogue, voice acting & other miscellaneous text from the original campaign
"Artistic License"
(some notable differences from the original campaign)
- Lurkers! Because who doesn't love Lurkers?
- Mission 5 "The Amerigo" - yep, like it or absolutely hate it, the third person "shooter" action is back
- two difficulty levels - with a somewhat more aggressive AI than in the original, in order to provide some challenge to the average player

How to play
- extract the mod file (SC1BWmod) to your "Mods" folder in your Starcraft 2 install directory (NOT the folder under "My Documents")
- extract the map pack to the "Maps" folder in your Starcraft 2 install directory (create the folder if it doesn't exist)
- extract the Campaign Launcher & setup to the same "Maps" folder (not the campaign folder)
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.

Use the mod you had for the terran campaign. All versions of the mod are fully compatible with all three campaigns, so you should use the most recent one (which to this day is C2.3). It will probably be added on this page as well once Jones uploads the Easy difficulty and other small changes for the zerg campaign - within a few days, unless something goes wrong.

Did you put the SC1mod file in your Starcraft II\Mod folder? If not, do it, and if the issue is still there, go to the Protoss campaign page and try downloading the latest version of the mod there.
There should be a mod and maps update on this page pretty soon.

This is part 2, other episodes are linked in the project description, just below the title.
There are currently no plans to convert Brood War campaigns, although the authors stated this is definitely something they would like to see. It may have to wait until Heart of the Swarm, if only to have proper "snow" maps.

Posted Nov 12, 2011Love the mod!
But could you change the animation of sunken colonies? I know you try to mimick the old sunken colonies from SC1. It is terrible. IMO sometimes less is more. Maybe you should keep the original animation from SC2.
And the infested Kerrigan hero picture does not show properly on the right-hand side screen. It is just a filled purple rectangle.

The first five missions can be downloaded through the link "Episode 3 - The Fall" (though at a very low difficulty). If you're talking about the last , they should be available by the end of the year.

Posted Oct 23, 2011Kameer:
Try MapCraft, hopefully that does the trick. :)
DEFILERRULEZ:
Well, I'm not sure that the new SC2 models will be needed, but if there are any good and suitable ones the mod can of course be updated as necessary.
Asadar:
Hmm. It's one of these things (from the troubleshooting page):
Your mod file (SC1Mod) is in the wrong location, or simply doesn't activate for some reason. Follow the installation instructions and make sure it's in the correct folder. If the problem still persists, see "unable to launch map" below.
This one's still not quite clear, apparently caused by the mod file getting corrupted during download. Try to download both the mod & maps using the links under "recent files". Also on the download page, make sure you click "Download" instead of the file name.
(also make sure you're using all the latest versions. You could also try christdaugherty's updated mod file if you haven't yet)

The models are stored in the sc1mod file, not in the map. So whoever wants to have the new models only has to change the mod, and all maps will adapt automatically.

Posted Oct 4, 2011Wunterwaffen:
Yeah I've thought about that, the ice maps would look a little bland if done before HotS release as opposed to after, obviously. We'll see.
Telenil:
Yeah, Brood Lords would have to be due to the new mod. I'm hoping localizing the mod has solved it, though. And the Chrysalis... it's a mod thing too, unfortunately, so I had to leave it for now.
Jimm3110:
Yes, I'm aware that people want that option. I'm also aware of how those doors should work, I guess what happened is I couldn't easily get them to work and just forgot about it. I'm getting pretty sick of updating these maps, to be honest, so I think that what I'll be working on next will be something new for a change.
