What is it ?

I deeply believe that StarCraft 1 campaign is the best RTS campaign ever made, I decided to make the experience re-enjoyable for veteran players for who, StarCraft campaign has become too easy.

Why ? What about the other remakes ?

There are of course, other remakes aiming to make the campaign harder, there was StarCraft insane (but I didn't like it, I even suspect some maps to be simply undoable) and StarCraft hardmode (Which truly was an amazing work, but it deviated too much from the original campaign in my opinion).

Briefly said, I wanted to make my own remake. :)

For who ?

For people who truly love StarCraft 1 campaign, but to whom its difficulty is not thrilling anymore.

What has been done ? What more to be made ?

I did the first 3 episodes, Rebel Yell, Overmind & the Fall. I want to do the 3 remaining episodes & I'm working on it.
I don't deserve much credits, it's not much work actually (basically adding scripted waves, static defenses, new enemy players, starting techs for the enemy & testing the map), I'm satisfied if my maps are not "easy", but not absurdly undoable either.
Also, I tried to respect the introduction of the different units in the campaign (I didn't put enemy Ultralisks in the first mission for exemple) as if Blizzard made its campaign, but for masochistic players.

More harder version of SC? I'll take it gladly! Since it's work on progress I'll be able to test it next year in January, you might finish some episodes by then, currently my hands are busy with Hard Mode Brood War.
Wanted to take a brief look but link is invalid.

Yea, I don't know what happened, I'm trying to upload it another way since the file is too big to be hosted directly in a message.
Here you go: https://mega.nz/file/U6UlzaiD#5JHJczk0wD0iMwvkHqrggrvG2PJ0DgAq5d3uQiaw4Mk

I myself am very busy, so I won't work on my SC maps very often. :P

Okay, I've done the whole SC 1 campaign but harder, I might be working on BW soon. I shared a download link in the first post. I hope this will please some fans. Don't hesitate to tell me if some maps need a complete reworking, if they are too cheap or too easy.

Enjoy. :)

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
