Hey!

A little about me: I've been playing Blizzard RTS games for years, and recently decided to start casting. I am familiar with Brood War in a general sense, but I have a very limited understanding of the deeper concepts of the game. This is, of course, unacceptable.

So I'm starting a new series where I'll be watching replays, learning the meta, and trying to pick up on some of the nuances that make Brood War the incredible game that it is.

If you're interested, check it out! Any questions, comments, and criticisms are both welcome and appreciated. If you're not interested, thanks for reading anyway, haha. Good luck out there!

Spaceman Learns Brood War!

I'm getting the following error

attempted to run in 256 color mode. please verify that compatibility settings are disabled.

I've unchecked everything. Tried possible combinations of compatibility. I do have an older computer. Any ideas??? Super sad right now :(

Hey!

Since there is no games around, I am looking for people to play Remastered Original.

I already have one friend to join games, we are looking for more to get bigger games.

Chat me up and i will send you a friend request and hit you up to play

I recently started playing Starcraft remastered and while the graphics are amazing, something seems off. While the real time lighting setting is off the units, buildings etc. seem like higher quality versions of their original sprites. But, when it is turned on instead of the lighting changing it seems like the skins are completely replaced with new ones. Seemingly with ones that have colors and shades that don't quite match the originals. Everything feels way too bright and washed out. With lights and shadows being located in so many different directions yet, do not change or react to movement. Which makes the name real time lighting not quite fit (or as they used to call it dynamic lighting). If I remember correctly the Starcraft engine doesn't even have a lighting system within it. Am I the only one noticing this?

Just in case anybody else runs into this...

I played SC Remastered last night just fine, logged in today and it revered back to the old school edition somehow.

Reinstalling it resolved the problem for me.

For some reason when I try to run it brings up the link on where to purchase it. Then when I click on that and try to buy it says I already have it, but nothing will let me actually open the game. Is anyone else having this issue?

Remastered is coming out in August and I've heard rumors blizzard may add a feature that allows people to customize their hotkeys. Let me explain why in my opinion this is a horrible idea and would piss me off along with a huge portion of the community. The whole point of broodwar is that it is a mechanically hard game. Probably the most mechanically hard game ever invented. Not only that, but it is a FAIR mechanically hard game. Example, in the match up Terran vs Zerg in the game, both the Zerg and Terran player have hotkeys on the opposite side of the keyboard. A common key used is the key "M." This means you have to swing your hand over the keyboard and press M which takes not too long, but it is a lot longer than pressing a customized hotkey like "E." In this game, that matters a lot at a very high level and even at a low level. Blizzard promised not to change any mechanics of the game, am I right? So if they add hotkeys, and you can customize the hotkeys of the game to make the mechanics of the game easier for yourself and you're playing vs someone who is used to playing with default hotkeys because they have been playing this game for 19 years, you are making the game mechanically unfair for the veteran. This in my opinion is not brood war anymore. It's broodwar with a stupid feature added to it from starcraft 2. And I will say only 1 thing about starcraft 2. It's fuckin' TRASH. Starcraft 2 is literally broodwar with multi-command HACK. It took away everything from what made brood war great. Long story short, I sincerely hope blizzard doesn't add any additional "features" to broodwar remastered, as it doesn't need anything except a graphics update. If they change anything else, they are breaking their promise and Im pretty sure I'm not alone when I say that I would be pissed off for them ruining brood war for a SECOND time. The first time it's legacy was ruined was when they created that doo doo starcraft 2.

Does anyone know why this happens? The photo is how it actually looks, the screenshot is how it should look (curious case that only displays correctly when I take a screenshot or when I press the win key)

During a game I will go to make a zealot and it will have all ready started. Or a probe. Also, although lately haven't happened storm upgrade and fast zeal upg.

I notice minerals being spent when I'm not clicking anything related.

It usually happens mid to late game rarely in beggining.

Anyone else have this?

Also they changed my cursor size but later changed it back.

I looked for the cursor file but couldn't find it, as I wanted to investigate.

I have some changes to NFL BLITZ map on StarCraft remastered. Would like to find an experienced map editor to make these changes. I’m willing to pay $$$ no problem.

Has the Starcraft remastered circle cursor got bigger? Mine has.

is there any way to play the sc1 story with sc2 engine?, Answer: starcraft masss recall mod

I found my answer.

edit: I've installed the mod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYJuB6TrliA , how to use original cinematics/
