SC1: General Discussions Topics http://starcraft2.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=t&fn=12 Have a hot strategy or an itching question? Here is the forum for all gameplay discussions about the game that triggered it all: the original StarCraft! Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:00:20 +0000 5 How to make StarCraft work on Windows 7 http://starcraft2.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=12,334737,0,10 DragonQ writes: I found a site a while ago explaining how to make StarCraft work on Windows 7 so I guess it should be present here. It appears to suffer the same bug that other 256 colour applications do on Vista/7 - the colour palette becomes corrupted and the colours go all weird. The solution for StarCraft is to do the following: 1) Right click the Starcraft icon -> click Properties -> go to the Compatibility tab. 2) Check ALL the Settings, EXCEPT Compatibility Mode. 3) When you are ready to play, right click your desktop and click "Screen Resolution". Leave this window open and launch Starcraft! Apparently this problem also happens on Vista but is more common in Windows 7. http://starcraft2.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=12,334737,0,10 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:02:16 +0000 Can we post maps/campaigns ect? http://starcraft2.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=12,334736,0,10 Fighter84 writes: Are we aloud to post our campaigns, maps, all that in this forum? I am currently working on a campaign following Fenix on his way to Praetor. I wish to see if I could upload a link to MegaUpload or something once it's done. Can I? Note: It would be cool for you to implement a feature like that. http://starcraft2.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=12,334736,0,10 Sat, 26 Sep 2009 23:34:09 +0000 Active SC Players? http://starcraft2.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=12,334735,0,10 kb24 writes: Just a quick poll for how many active SC players there are here; the other forums have directories with the SNs of all the players etc. etc. Anyway my SN is kb[24] but I rarely play normal maps, mostly scenarios (how epic is the SC editor?).

I have been taking a look to some lists of co-op games, but they put SC 1 in their list. So I wonder if that's true, and how can I do it.

Unfortunately, it is not understood how to modify its unit micro behaviour, which means the only way to improve it is with better build orders and cheats. At any rate, they've done a lot of work over the past few years or so, and the AI is actually quite challenging when equipped with some, er, illegitimate advantages.
