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.

- 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.

hmm i guess maybe my problem is the same with onedaysnotice cos i've already downloaded the mod and map file so many times but it just won't work. And same as he is i'm from SEA.
Endarion169:
The DT's run for the exit when they reach a certain point. This was added when the DT's would just run around killing your base, and would never actually try to escape. Instantly target firing the DT's is a good idea.
jankulit:
The issue might have something to do with the Chrysalis/Khaydarin Crystal variable. Possibly a little data corruption going on there, or something. Kind of impossible to test when the maps are working just fine for me. :S
Berggen:
Oh hell, another one of those geyser issues. =P Anyway, thanks.
Reading the commets I find this bug but it was in another mission. In zerg 4 you can't build an extractor on the geyser at the bottom right expansion, it seems to be very close to the clift.
Very goog job, im having a lot of memories with these campaigns.
Tip in mission 8: Use lurkers :)
Follow up on mission 2, 9 and 10... please fix the problem there Ultraling and the team, thanks! :)
Mission 8, let no DT escape should be tweaked a bit imo. At the moment it's down to pure luck to beat this mission. Especially since the DTs don't stop to fight, but simply run through your defenses.
Army comes in, own troups fight zealots or dragoons and simply let the DTs run through. Map lost.
At least let the DTs fight their way through.
Yea I too am having trouble with Missions 2, 9 and 10 it all has no briefing and no missions to be achieved :(
EnTaroAdun4Aiur 10x i must have misplaced it so i had to unrar it again...
ultraling, im from SEA so I can run both SEA and NA but I still can't run mission 2
If you have any issues playing the maps, check the Troubleshooting FAQ before posting your problem. It's not much, but it's all we got at the moment.

I'm looking into the Mission 2 problem. I am able to run it properly on EU and NA clients. If you can disclose which region you are playing from, that would be helpful.

Have you installed Starcraft II to your computer and if so, do you remember where? Check the Properties of your Starcraft II shortcut and look at Target. That's where your Starcraft II directory is.
xxsimpledanxx, Hellrek, others
All I can say is to try to follow the Download and How to as closely as possible, make sure to unzip the files before you try doing anything else, and that you don't need to log in to play. Once all the files are in their correct directories, all you should have to do is drag the map file to the Sc2 shortcut and it will run the map. I hope that helps you. If not, feel free to ask if you have further problems.
Creepstorm,
I fixed the problem I had, I deleted the mods file i originally copied and replaced it again in the Mods folder, it works now. Try it a few times.
Hi, i can't load mission 2, nothing appears in the breifing.
I had the same trouble like EnTaroAdun4Aiur and yes i got the mod file in 'Mods' folder
The version i mentioned is v1.02 >.< typo there sry! I have redownloaded the file again and placed it in the same place, but it still does not work. Is there any other way to solve this? Tks!
Hi , I want to download this but i dont have a Starcraft 2 install directory ? I cant find it anywhre at my computer . What shoud i do ? Pleaseee help :(
Should I be using the starcraft2.exe, or the editor? Erm.. What do I do, after I've dragged the files over the .exe? Does it automatically open? Or do I have to log in?
I'm having troubles getting the game to play, Any help?
Edit: Perhaps a visual on where to put the files, and how to get the games open?
EnTaroAdun4Aiur
Did you place the mod file in the Mods folder of the Starcraft II directory?
BillyBoBJoeSmith
I'll see what I can do.
Thanks Ultraling. Not making the attacks so incredibly random would help a lot more. It's really strange when you play the same mission a couple of times and due to the randomness of the attacks it's anywhere from really easy to very hard.
Hello, after seeing Husky do the campaign I thought i'd try this... I downloaded both files and can drag a map to the Starcraft.exe and start up any of the games, but inside it is SC2 units (banelings/ghosts/battlecruisers), most the the faces are blank for the loading screens, and many missions fail almost immediatly (there is no kerrigan crystal = fail)
Did I download something wrong?
Looking forward to playing the real thing.
