StarCraft: Mass Recall
StarCraft: Mass Recall (SCMR) is a project that recreates the classic StarCraft and Brood War gameplay as well as the entire single-player campaigns within the StarCraft II engine. StarCraft: Mass Recall contains 68 maps, 59 from the original StarCraft/Brood War game, 3 that were hidden or deleted on various StarCraft supports, and 6 from the 1998 demo campaign.

FRIENDLY DISCLAIMER: This Mod and all campaign files are free. This means, all who work on Mass Recall are putting their free time into an incredibly comprehensive remaster of all of StarCraft and Brood War, including entirely new custom campaigns such as the Stukov Series and Enslavers Redux. Thus, there should be absolutely no expectations that bug fixes or new features will be released in any sort of timely manner. This is a "we'll get to it when we get to it" situation. Please be aware the modders here have work lives, family lives, and simply do not have the energy to maintain a lively work cycle to keep the Mod 100% up to date. We do promise we will release updates when we feel they are ready to be released. We hope that you understand our position on this.

Installation
“Uh... how do you work this damn thing?” – Marine
Auto-Installation
(for Windows, if you're using Mac follow the manual installation guide below)
For a fresh auto-install please carefully follow these steps:
1. Download the SCMR installer and the required files (see the "Downloads" section above).
2. Move all downloaded ZIP-Files and unzip the installer to your StarCraft II installation directory. The default path to it is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\".
3. Run the installer.
4. After SCMR is successfully installed, use the shortcut on your Desktop to run SCMR.
Auto install video guide by DeltronLive
Note that this is for an older version, just make sure you have all the latest required files specified in the "Downloads" section above, otherwise the process is the same.
Manual Installation
If auto-install fails and/or you would like to manually install SCMR, please carefully follow these steps:
1. Download the required file sets (see the "Downloads" section above). For StarCraft: Mass Recall to work properly you need to download the Campaign Maps - that are bundled with the Main Mod (SCMRmod) and a "dummy" Cinematics Mod (SCMRcinematics) - as well as the Assets Mod (SCMRassets) and a Localization Mod (SCMRlocal).
2. Then extract all ZIP-Files to a folder of your choice. The extracted folder should look like graphic [1] below.
3. Now, open your StarCraft II installation directory where the StarCraft II.exe (WIN) or .app (MAC) is located. Per default this is on your primary C: drive under "Program Files (x86)" (WIN) or "Applications" (MAC). The standard paths to the StarCraft II installation directory are shown below.
Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II"
Mac OSX: "Macintosh HD/Applications/StarCraft II"
The StarCraft II installation directory should look similar to graphic [2] below. Note that you may need to create the "Maps" folder here if it does not already exist. Then move the folder called "Starcraft Mass Recall" (with lowercase "c") from the extracted folder to the "Maps" folder within your StarCraft II installation directory. The "Maps" folder should now look like graphic [3] below.
4. Next, move the "Mods" folder from the extracted folder into the StarCraft II installation directory (the same place as the "Maps" folder). Your "Mods" folder should now have four Mod files and resemble graphic [4] above.
5. While your newly placed "Starcraft Mass Recall" folder within the "Maps" folder should now look like graphic [5] below.

- Installations-Handbuch (Deutsch)
Alternative ways to play
If the above doesn't work for you, first and foremost make sure that:
- you have all the necessary files in the right directories
- you've set the correct paths for the shortcut
- you're running the latest version of StarCraft II
Alternative way to play without the shortcut:
- locate SC2Switcher.exe in the Support folder (your StarCraft II installation directory)/Support
- locate the SCMR Campaign Launcher file in (your StarCraft II installation directory)/Maps/Starcraft Mass Recall
- drag and drop the SCMR Campaign Launcher file to SC2Switcher.exe
If you wish to play while logged on to Battle.net, you will need to take the following steps:
- Launch StarCraft II using the Battle.net launcher
- Alt-tab to Desktop
- Launch StarCraft: Mass Recall using the created shortcut
Note that you can still save and load any SCMR map, as long as you're logged in.
Bonus Campaign - Enslavers Redux Installation
ZIP Download - https://www.sc2mapster.com/projects/starcraft-mass-recall/files/3246278
This file includes a new 30-mission extra bonus campaign "Enslavers Redux" by OmegaWeaponX! This series contains 4 episodes, with 9 unique maps per Terran, Protoss, and Zerg races, with 3 epilogue maps. Content and story is based on the original Enslavers custom maps in StarCraft and Dark Vengeance maps in Brood War. Features brand new dialog and story, missions, and enhanced heroes with their own level-up mechanics! Learn what happens between the major StarCraft episodes and the events leading up to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty!
While this custom campaign can be played stand-alone by opening up the unique Enslavers Redux Campaign Launcher and launching missions from there, it is also integrated into Mass Recall via the "Extras" menu. In order to load it properly in for the Mass Recall Launcher to work with this campaign, follow these instructions:
- Download the above ZIP-file containing Enslavers Redux
- Go into your StarCraft II folder -> SCMR Mass Recall -> Extras:
- Within Extras, place your ZIP-file, then uncompress it there. You should have a folder that says 8. Enslavers Redux. It should look like this now:
- You've got Enslavers Redux installed! Now from the SCMR Campaign Launcher go to Extras and click on the Enslavers Redux menu panel. You can launch any mission from here or open the Enslavers Redux Campaign Launcher and launch missions from there!
Please note - This campaign has no unique audio for voices and as such it is required that subtitles are enabled in order to actually read what transmissions are saying :)

Make sure to check out the auto install and manual install video guides also linked above. The end result in these videos is the same, regardless of install method.
Also make sure you're using an up-to-date version of StarCraft II.
Common issues:
- Param/Value/-Error: If lots of texts are like that, you may have a problem with your Mods: Delete SCMRmod and SCMRlocal, and re-download them from the links above. If it is only one or two lines (say, a mission objective), report it in the comments section (in that case, please specify which language you are playing in).
- Dependency cannot be loaded: The Mods are not at the proper place. Check that you have put your Mods (SCMRmod, SCMRassets and SCMRlocal) in the "Mods" folder, as on the pictures above.
- Unable to load map: Your Maps are not at the proper place. Check that you have put the episode files such as "1. Rebel Yell" in a folder "Starcraft Mass Recall", itself to be placed in "Maps", as on the pictures above.

Hello. Nice mod. It only needs now just some bug fixing especially for the scenarios and to include insurection and retribution since they have pretty good ideas those being in insurection to have the zerg make a project where a human takes control of a cerebrate and that retribution is a loosely adaptation of a book. The two expansion don't need much, just to be on mass recall like a remaster and to include a scene where kerrigan and the supreme being are one and the same person. Thank you
if there s plan of next version how about add some zerg heroes ? kukulza, devouring one, or hunter killer in zerg mission :)
hi, does anyone have the files to have the Stukov campaign in Spanish?
i'll appreciate it!
i have version 8.0.1, but the slide show and subtitles are in English
In reply to KIRASAMA295:
hello, the Stukov campaign in Spanish is available in version EU Spanish v8.0.1
Link to download https://www.sc2mapster.com/projects/starcraft-mass-recall/files/3583439
you have to download the last uploaded version and replace the files.
If you are using the version "SCMR Localization v8.0 LatAm Spanish" you just have to replace the map folder from EU Spanish v8.0.1 and it should work without problem.
Note - despite being version v8.0.1, the translators are updating the content related to the translation
In reply to Leader_DS:
thank u so much!
Hi. I have downloaded and put all of the required files in their correct folder but when i try to run the game, its keep saying "the launch of this game makes reference to mod or map dependencies which are no longer available." what should i do now ? Thanks
In reply to vinhnamlulu:
I think it has something to do with NovaAssets. I had problem with pirated game (trilogy), no luck so far. One solution that worked is installing Starcraft 2 Free (Wings of Liberty). It's free from SC2 official site. Use that for Mass Recall.
Question: I have to do a manual installation and I have everything in place exceptfpr "SCMRsetup.SC2map" - I unzipped everything, but I can't seem to find the file, where would it be?
In reply to newageprometheus:
In version 8.x, the "SCMRsetup.SC2map" file is no longer needed. If you already have all the "SC2Map" and "SC2Mod" files in the appropriate folders, then you still need to create a shortcut on the desktop and you will be able to play. If you do not know how to create a shortcut, you can download it from version 7.3.1: https://www.sc2mapster.com/projects/starcraft-ass-recall/files/2931253 ("Starcraft Mass Recall-win.lnk" file).
Correct structure of SCMR folders:
Contents of the "mods" folder:
In reply to 628w:
I'm on an iMac so I don't the win-lnk would work for me; HOWEVER, I see there's a file "Starcraft Mass Recall - MAC.zip" - if I unzip that, it reveals a SC2Switcher app, is that the shortcut I need?
Also, if I'm downloadinf 7.3.1, do I need to replace the Maps/Mods files that I download from v8 or can I just remove the duplicates and just keep one set of files?
In reply to newageprometheus:
Disclaimer: I don't know MAC computers. What I write applies to PCs.
All "SC2Map" and "SC2Mod" files remain from version 8.0.1. Only the shortcut should be downloaded from version 7.3.1. Try with the "Starcraft Mass Recall - MAC.app" file.
I hope it will work for you.
In reply to 628w:
Still can't get it to work. Thanks for your suggestions, though...
Hey y'all! Just trying to autoinstall, I received this message
Checking installation...
The following files were not found:
"Mods\SCMRlocal.SC2Mod",
SCMRlocal not found. Make sure you've downloaded and placed it in your install directory. If it's there, it might be broken, try redownloading.
See that you've copied all the archives to your Starcraft 2 install directory. Happens to all of us =)
...and done. Check your desktop for a shortcut. Have fun
Press any key to continue . . .
I deleted and redownloaded and tried again but got the same message, any ideas?

Manual Installation?
In reply to 628w:
I went back and looked, I must've missed the SCMRlocal, I downloaded and got this
Checking installation...
Everything seems to be fine.
...and done. Check your desktop for a shortcut. Have fun
Press any key to continue . . .
But when I open SCII from the desktop, it just takes me to the regular campaign selections (WOL, HOTS, LOTV, Nova). Do I need to open it differently? Thank you in advance!
In reply to gt578293050917:
Check desktop for a shortcut for SCMR, not for SC2.
Great mod! Love being able to play SC1's missions with all the quality of life improvements from SC2!
However, I'm not sure if this has been reported before, but I've noticed that a +2 attack Protoss Corsair does 0.5 damage to a 3 armor Zerg Mutalisk. It seems the math is wrong, as it takes the 7 damage the Corsair does, divides it by 2, because Corsairs do half their damage to Mutalisks, and subtracts 3 when, actually, it should take the 7 damage, subtracts 3 first and then divide it by 2, giving the +2 attack Corsair 2 damage against a 3 armor Mutalisk instead of 0.5.
The same happens with the Valkyrie, making the "new" Terrain Air unit completely useless against Mutalisks. Could you guys possibly make a small hotfix fixing that? Thanks!
Some thoughts on Enslavers Redux:
I recorded the Zerg campaign of Enslavers Redux and the last mission tilted me tremendously. I muscled through it even when I got a defeat trigger at the 100% victory to the point several times where I did it ALL AGAIN with cheats, just to see it through for the video.
I then started the first epilogue map and straight up rage quit. Possibly the only video series I have done that on ho ho ho! Overall, it's frustrating because of how many things the campaigns does right such that I want to see it succeed. And yet, simultaneously, misses the mark so drastically that it becomes difficult to recommend.
Even after a massive 8.0 update and a generous fan patch from 628w, Enslavers Redux has too many issues, both small and large. Many of the maps have really cool design concepts, but they begin to not fall into place properly from the Zerg campaign onwards.
Just for fun, let's review what the first epilogue map throws at the player!
1) Zerg spawn from off the map and attack 3 entrances in regular intervals that require at least 2-3 tanks + bunker + repair costs to repel each wave on Hard, still 2 tanks at least on Normal
2) The Dominion attacks a 4th entrance with large attack waves
3) Zerg drop pods can spawn ANYWHERE you have units or buildings. ANYWHERE. These pods can have 3-4 roaches or hydras in them, not just a few lings
4) The Dominion has a Drakken laser drill that randomly kills one of your units or buildings every so often
5) The Dominion can blind fire nukes at any of your units or buildings ANYWHERE without a ghost, this happens no joke at least once an in-game minute
6) You are expected to keep civilians alive with nukes and drop pods dropping anywhere on the map
7) At least in the past, this map had broken triggers (common for the project) that mercifully turned all this crap off inexplicably at the 30 minute mark, so if you could live that long then everything shuts off. ...But the fan patch fixed that. That's one instance where fixing a bug actually makes the map unplayable!
I am ashamed of the feelings this project elicits from me some of the time. I am tilted out of my mind. I have always been an advocate for this community, but this one had moments that really killed me. I plan to return and finish the epilogue series on the Easy difficulty and can hopefully complete it.
In reply to Jayborino:
On the other hand, without this patch, after 30 minutes of play, you can't evacuate civilians.
Will you show your first mission of the epilogue on YouTube?
In reply to 628w:
Yes, I did go back and beat it on Easy, which still was not actually close to Easy :)
