I'll cut the cheesy introduction for you folks on SEN because you know exactly what this is. It's a Summer Midnight Modnight Madness, which is a super Modnight. We basically play mods all night. It starts on Saturday, July 18th at 7:00pm GMT -5. It will take place through Hamachi. You will need a downgrader to change between versions. I suggest you use Bajadulce's downgrader due to it's simplicity: http://www.staredit.net/topic/3929/
Mods do not affect your Starcraft install (aside from downgrading, which can be undone simply by connecting to normal battle.net again). To play a mod, simply downgrade to the correct version and then double-click on the EXE. Windows only, sorry. Once you are done, simply close starcraft, and when you open starcraft again everything will be back to normal.

Hamachi Setup and Additional Information:
For those of you not familiar, Hamachi is a virtual LAN client that will allow us to use SC's LAN (UDP) function to play games up to 8 players without having router issues.
Please consult Excalibur's tutorial on getting Hamachi set up here: http://www.staredit.net/topic/6518/
-Join ONE OF these 3 networks (Note, names and pass are case sensitive!):
Network 1
Name: SMMM1
Pass: SMMM
Network 2
Name: SMMM2
Pass: SMMM
Network 3
Name: SMMM3
Pass: SMMM
Join the first one, but if that one is full, join the second one, and so on until you find one that's open. If all the networks are full, which, I doubt will happen, feel free to create new ones yourselves, preferably starting it with SMMM4, and so on.
To keep these networks as organized as possible, PLEASE remove yourself from the network if you are going to go offline or AFK for a long while. Please do not take network slots away from people who actually want to play.

Although, those certainly will not be the only mods played, so be prepared to download more. Please check the official thread on Modcrafters here to find said links, and other information: http://www.modcrafters.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=103&start=0
Thanks for your time guys, I hope to see you there!
