pics please!

What? I meant that my CD stays in my computer.

Just a note here, the downloads a little freaky, or at least it was for me. Started around 400kbps, my eyes jumped out of their sockets, it than sank to about 110KBPs and held steady. Now that Ive moved back to XP everything should be peachy. Thanks Baja.

Basically Vista users can toggle this when patching to 1.15.2 for PvPGN play on private servers. (on = toggled starcraft.exe, off = default starcraft.exe) I did not include the standard starcraft.exe's for 1.07-1.15.1. Users will need to use the downgrader to upgrade to 1.15.2 instead of Bnet. Hopefully this won't be too big of an issue... should be faster than Bnet anyways. I better make a note of that in readme. :ermm: [quote=name:Excalibur]Just a note here, the downloads a little freaky, or at least it was for me.

Basically ShadowFlare's toggleNX is not a "toggle" so to speak. It can only go one way and having a backup starcraft.exe is the only way around this. This downgrader tackles this issue and you Vista users should be using it! And you don't need your stupid cd either... And if you still have your CD in the drive, wtf? get with the times! :bleh:

Maybe you used it wrong in some way, or maybe there was some other modification that was installed. As far as just the ToggleNX utility I made, it literally just toggles a single bit in the exe. It also uses the proper method of finding the location of the value containing that bit.
