From what I've read, the upgrader/downgrader that is commonly used only works with Starcraft running off of the original disks or an ISO (which is just an emulation of running off the original disks).
#STARCRAFT BROOD WAR CDKEY MOD#
Separately, these issues weren't very challenging, but together were time consuming.įirst and foremost, the mod needs to run on a downgraded version of Starcraft. First, getting the mod to run at all, then getting Starcraft to run in windowed mode.
I ran into two main problems that, when combined, gave me an enormous amount of trouble. If I'm feeling adventurous in the future, I'd like to put together a comprehensive download pack and/or compile all the links together for the pieces needed. I spent much of my time trying to decipher vague instructions from others who assumed the reader had more than a basic level of knowledge and experience with any of this. On that note, this is going to be pretty dense. I'd like to share how I made it happen for anyone out there completely ignorant of SC1 mods just as I was at the start of this journey. LotC1 was quite simple as a viewer just sent me all the sounds files, but I knew LotC2 would require some actual modifications. I spent quite a long time trying to get the lotc mods working as it is now 2015 and everything is quite dated. Hi All, it's Jayborino, the guy who is running through this mod on YouTube as linked in another thread.
