- 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.

Posted Jul 8, 2011The Amerigo mission is fantastic. Some unit control uses I was concerned about with Terran04 are handled beautifully. :)
One issue is that the camera becomes messed up upon reload. Using the same fix as with the Terran mission may solve the problem?
EDIT: Also, Kerrigan ordinarily doesn't have access to Psionic/Razor Storm until after the Amerigo mission is complete. She has access to it in the first mission where she is obtained here. She also doesn't have Consume.
The fight against Zeratul has some AI issues: if you use guardians on the protoss, they do not retaliate or react at all.
The fight with the zerg also has some AI issues: the AI kept sending overlords to patrol the left base, even though I'd set up turrets there.

Posted Jul 8, 20111. Hey, I know you're aware of Queen issues, but I wanted to point out that infesting Raynor's Command Center is currently impossible. The game thinks it isn't a Command Center. It must be coded differently. Anyway, this should be easy to fix.
2. Map quirk: on the same map, in the original game, it's impossible to spread the creep out onto the peninsula. This makes it harder to use spore colonies to stop dropships. The fact that you can do it in this version makes that map a little easier than in the original, in spite of the rebuilding AI.
3. The opening cinematic is really great. Does a much better job than the original map of showing what's happened thematically. Great job. :)

When I load a save, Yes i assumed the exact same thing but it doesn't work and i changed nothing. Basically installed the mod, Put everything in the proper folder, It worked perfectly, Not one problem, Could load every level. It was fine, but the next morning i tried to load it up and it said "the mod data loaded does not match the mod data which was orginally used to play this game" I was very confused since nothing changed? I tried everything people told me, I reinstalled the mod, Re downloaded the maps, Uninstalled and reinstalled, The maps launch but when i save it and then try to load it. The same error message occurs, Do you have any idea How to fix it? I really want to finish the mod.

Posted Jul 6, 2011Yeah, about the Protoss... not to go all Duke Nukem Forever on you guys, but I haven't heard much from Ultraling, other than the Protoss episode has been delayed a little more. There's been a little technical problem, if you will, nothing dramatic. Just enjoy the summer in the meantime. =P
Oh, and sorry I haven't been able to reply to all the PMs.
TheHolyArk:
Well, the Toss portraits aren't up to me, but that Fenix portrait's not bad. Very nostalgic.
Drathjon:
Does this error occur when you launch a map (from the beginning), or when you load a save? As in, it's not just your saves? Can you open a map in the editor and launch it from there? It seems unlikely that the mod would just suddenly stop working, unless you changed something.

Posted Jul 5, 2011@Telenil:
I wholeheartedly understand, it just got annoying and doesn't need to be asked for a while.
@TheHolyArk & @Wunterwaffen:
Tal'darim Executor = Aldaris [maybe, facial positioning is right but may need independent re-texture] http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Lhassir
Re-texture Karass = Fenix
Preserver = Tassadar [there is no doubt in my mind] http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Preserver
@Jones313 & @Ultraling:
Previous were only suggestions, feel free to ignore if you prefer another way.

People will keep asking that even if you put that in the FAQ :) Note that we don't necessarily ask for a release date, as this is not something that can easily be determined, it's just to know if it's a matter of weeks or months.

Posted Jul 1, 2011No, I think the Tal'darim executor should be aldaris. Karass should be Tassadar.

Posted Jul 1, 2011Have patience and pray for another outstanding SC1 legacy episode.
- Also, I would like to give two ideas for you guys just for inspiration :D :
1. Use the portrait-Preserver03 for Aldaris ;
2. Use the re-texture of Karass's portrait for Fenix that has been made on the site by Zeredek, I am sure that you know how to put it in your following campaign +Karass re-texture for Fenix +
There, hope you like my ideas :D. Feel free to disgust them x}, and have fun making the next episode.
Cheers to the team ( Ultraling & Jones ), +Ark+

Posted Jul 1, 2011Suggested Addition to FAQ: Q: Any news on when the Protoss Campaign will be out, or if you are planning on doing the Brood War Campaign?
A: We'll let you know, you are all just going to have to wait.
Or any other answer you want to put in it's place, I know you've answered this before and I'm only posting this because it's gotten annoying reading that question so often. And if it's annoying for me, I can imagine what it's like for you guys.

The mode file works for both campaigns. If you already played the terran campaign, you just have to download the map files.
