Did you try un-installing then re-installing your original Starcraft?



None.

This happened to my old disk a few years ago. It froze while installing the brood MPQ file. This was before I really used torrents, so I bought another CD for 5$. I would just try downloading the installer and using your CD-key.

You can make an account at www.battle.net, put in your CD key, and they will let you download SC.

Via torrent. Instead of using a key-gen, use your CD-key. A torrent would be perfectly legal in that situation.

Actually, you could just do what zany said. I didn't realize Blizzard provided it on their website.

Go to www.battle.net.
Make an account.
If/when it asks for a CD key, put it in. If it doesn't, find where you Add a Game and put it in there.
Go to Manage Game
Download Starcraft Anthology or w/e
Run the exe. It will download a file a bit over 1 gig.
Normal installation afterwards.

It's Brood War and SC combined.

Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I suppose there's something to that

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless
[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]
Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value
[2024-5-06. : 5:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD

Vrael -- that is insane
[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]
Vrael -- damn is that all EUD effects?
