I copied this directly from my little text file smile.gif:

-DA=Dark Archon- -DT=Dark Templar-

1.*Burrowed drone extractor glitch*- burrow a drone and press B or click on basic buildings. All the icons for the buildings will disappear except for the zerg extractor.

2.*Spawn broodling on building*- make a queen use spawn broodling on a drone, when the queen shoots her #### make the drone build and the building will explode/die like always and you will get 2 broodlings.

3.*ensnare on building*- make the queen ensnare a drone, make the drone build and the building will be ensnared for a few seconds.

4.*Spawn Broodling on archon/DA*- use spawn broodling on a any templar/DT just before it morphs, then when it's morphing it'll explode and only turn into 2 broodlings.

5.*Archon/DA Stasis field glitch*- just before an archon/DA is done morphing, use stasis field on it. When it wears off your archon will still have the graphic effect.

6.*Float A Drone*- To float a drone, corner a drone(surround it) with some other drones. Tell the drone to build any structure two times quickly (ie. B,H,click,B,H,click) then right click in that same spot(must be done quickly). The drone will fly across the map to it's destination.

7.*Drone under ANY building*- for some terran buildings do what you do in 'Lurker under a building' but for other buildings, do 'float a drone' to where you wanna build your building. After you set the drone off to fly, build a building where you told it to go, and once it gets there keep pressing U for burrow and then u go under a building. This also works for minerals, and any other thing(except water).

8.*Burrowable unit under ANY building*-make a couple/few units and burrow them right on top of each other near the building u wanna burrow under. Make them unburrow and keep clicking over the structure or sumthing to make them move over it. Burrow the unit and voila!

9.*Drone under a geyser*- Build an extractor then when the drone goes over it keep pressing U for burrow and you'll be under it in no time.

10.*Drone crash glitch*- Build a building and at the last split second before the burrow icon disappears, burrow then the game will crash for all players in the game that are looking at it. If they didnt look at it it will crash at the end of the game.

11.*Never unburrow*- Do the 'drone crash glitch' but burrow sooner and you can never unburrow.

12.*Perminantly Cloak Burrowing Zerg Units*- For this glitch, you need an Arbiter and any burrowing Zerg units. Set the Arbiter on patrol over a short area back and forth over where the units are cloaked and away to a point where they uncloak. Now, burrow the units uncloaked. Wait until the Arbiter comes to the point where the units would just be cloaking and unburrow. These units should stay cloaked permanently, unless you bring them back near the Aribiter or if you burrow and unburrow them again.

13.*Build Cloaked Zerg Buildings*- For this, you must first use the "Cloak Burrowing Zerg Units" glitch on a drone. Then, simply use the drone to build a building. This only works for certain buildings.

14.*Float A Templar (And Control It)*- You take two templars (High or Dark) and make sure they have enough space between each other. Tell them to merge into an Archon. While they're on their way, hold shift and right click anywhere on the map. Then, right before the templars start the merge, right click somewhere near them. The templars will then float to the place where you right clicked while holding shift. (If you want to be able to control it, instead of shift and right clicking on the map do it on a flying unit. The templars might stop or sumthign but if you move the flying unit they'll follow it untill a certain point and go back to the land so you gatta keep some distance)

15.*Tank Inside a Building*- To get a tank inside a building without exploding, you must bring the tank under the building while it is landing, but leave it unsieged. When the building has landed and the tank is on it's way out, this is when you must quickly siege the unit while it is still below the building. It will then stay like this.

16.*Crush An Interceptor*- To crush interceptors, just keep landing and lifting a building that can fly where it's flying. For example, if you have an Engineering Bay being attacked by Interceptors, all you have to do is lift off and land back down and if one of them are over it they will explode.

17.*Stop a turret*- Take an observer and bring it right above(on top of/over) a turret. It will stop spinning and stay stuck. It will only reactivate if any other flying units(except overlords, queens, shuttles, dropships, scieience vessels, and other observers) are nearby. It will deactivate again when it wants to attack the observer.

18.*Lurker under a building*- Do the same thing as "Tank Inside Building" but you can burrow sooner without crushing it. The lurker will be protected from melee attacks and other units without detectors.

19.*Make units come out and explode*- Just start building any unit, and at the LAST COUPLE MILISECONDS(timing must be good) cancil the unit. If done correctly the unit will be made and die on the spot without you even seeing it.

20.*Build any unit w/out addons*- First you need the addon. Press L and the hotkey of your unit(while the building is selected) and then you will see your unit about to be made but the bar won't move untill you land it again. So you can make a seige tank or goliath without the addon.

21.*Zerg Supply Past Limit*- You can easily get over 200 units! or use it at the beginning at the game to get an extra drone or so. When you build a building with a drone, your supply will decrease by 1 and you can build another drone, cancel the building and you get +1 drone over the supply limit. Use 3 drones to build 3 buildings and you build more drones then cancil the buildings and then you get +3 over the supply limit and so on.

22.*Zergling Lagging*- Get lots of zerglings(or any other unit that can burrow but zerglings are faster) and burrow them right on top of each other. Make sure you group them. Then press 1, U, 2, U, 3, U, 4, U and so on.

23.*Crush certain buildings*(*requires a ums map<with lights on/off> or a stack hack*)- If you want to crush tanks(that are seiged) just use any building. But for the rest use an engineering bay. Things you can crush: seiged tanks, Missile turrets, Cannons (because of the 1.10 patch you can no longer crush anything else)

24.*Pissed off drone*- Take a drone and tell it to build an extractor. Freeze the drone using stasis when he is over the geyser. Then take another drone and build the geyser. Once the frozen drone unfreezes he will be pissed off.

25.*Mine minerals without touching them*- Move an arbiter over water/space/invalid terrain make a worker go for the minerals then use recall on the worker and he will then stop where he is and mine minerals out of nowhere.

26.*Cast other stuff on units while in stasis*- cast stuff like lockdown or plague BEFORE, or RIGHT WHEN the arbiter casts stasis cell and the unit in the cell will have the affect such as lockdown. You can create some weird things with different units.

27.*Unban yourself from channels/games/BNET and get less lag*-
WARNING: This was not tested but it DOES reduce lag.
1)Log off
-Deleting the Registry from regedit-
2) Click on the start button
3) Click Run
4) Type in regedit and then hit ok
5) Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
6) Click SOFTWARE
7) Right Click on Battle.net and click delete
-Deleting the Registry from bncache.dat-
8) Open up a window
9) Get into your starcraft folder (Most Likely C:\Program Files\StarCraft)
10) Right click on bncache.dat
11) Click Delete
12) Reconnect to the net
13) Log back onto the b.net, and you should be unbanned

*NOTE*- THESE ALL WORK EXCEPT I HAVN'T TESTED THE UNBAN THINGY BUT IT DOES REDUCE LAG! AND I HAVN'T WORKED MUCH WITH CRUSHING BUILDINGS!

Unban can't work, Battle.net bans your CD-key, and thats on their servers.

Hmm i have a stupid game where it teaches you to get a burrowed siege tank. You can't play single player, and instead the creator decides to only put clues. Some of them are useful, others are pretty stupid. biggrin.gif
i'll post this game on the dl site.

Opps, its burrowed not cloaked.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-07-22 at 20:50:02
No. you can't burrow a tank it's IMPOSSIBLE(for this patch...) it was possible before the 1.04 starcraft patch. Same with burrow a marine, burrow a zealot, making mutas cloaked and with shields, so on... It was all before the 1.04 patch. If you hear/see stuff like that you should know it's a fake unless you have actual PROOF!(such as a replay)

If you see a replay and a trick in the replay works then it works for your patch. I was screwing around with replays... replays arent recordings of EVERYTHING you do... replays just record the actions you do... so say you hack the game making your command center have like over 4000hp(DONT BOTHER DOES NOT WORK ON MULTIPLAYER) it will show in the replay as its normal amount(1500 i think). If you hack your minerals making it 9999 or sumthing(NO DONT ASK NOT MULTI) and build lots of SCVs, when you only collected 50 minerals, in the replay it will only build 1 scv.



Oh and unban might work for channels... I think they work for games... and it DOES reduce lag(if you lag a lot). That file and registry key is a cache or folder (or whatever you wanna call it) of all the games you played, all the commands you entered(does not delete friends list), and any other typical thing. I think it's also to say where you're banned from. It also is shared with blizzard giving them a list of all the games you played... so you are like being tracked or watched(or whatever). So it is a good thing to delete them once and a while...

Dam that stinks. Oh yeah, replays aren't exactly replays.

Me and ssc)paladin figured it out. They just cordinate your steps exactly. Think of it like a dummy that just mimics your every move. However, in the replays, it can't show triggers. That means that it won't show spawning marines, cause the computer is stupid and doesn't know how it just spawned marines. All it knows is to get marines it must, build marines from a barracks. Same with bugs. It doesn't respond correctly when your drone is floating, etc. For example, a person could talk, eat, drink. The dummy can't do those actions, but only copy the movement of those actions. This is why you would see other things, when you did something way different. The dummy won't respond unless if it makes sense to it. We figured this out, with some creative thinking, and common sense as well.

Wrong, UMS replays are ... well ... they work wierd. Half the UMS replays I save work, the other half don't. Its like a 50/50 chance you will get a UMS replay to work. Things that have worked for me are sniper maps, zone control maps (mass attack is the only thing that will prevent me from playing it), Zoids, Armored Core 2, several 'RPG' maps, and a few others.

I CAN and DO save replays from ums games.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-07-22 at 22:02:42
yea but the glitches all make sense to it like:
cast lockdown THEN cast stasis
Start a merge with two high templars, set a waypoint, cancel the merge.

Replays are like the 'game' itself but you're not in it. So computers can do 'MOST' of the glitches... I have a replay of me doing most of the tricks/glitches.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-07-26 at 07:31:33
Oooo... well i guess our theory is half wrong. sad.gif But, if the glitches do work, the "dummies" must of copied what you did exactly... Hm.. this is getting me confused. Oh yeah and chu, you dun spawn/build mass quantities in any of those maps thats probably why they worked.

Hmm, let me list the maps you were wrong about.

... zone control maps (mass attack is the only thing that will prevent me from playing it), Zoids, Armored Core 2, several 'RPG' maps, and a few others.


Zone control - spawning
Zoids - spawning and building, a lot
Armored Core 2 - some spawning, and a lot of building
'RPG's' - Most of them have spawns
"few others" - I have maps where basically 90% of the triggers are spawning and I've been able to save those fine.

I tend to delete my UMS replays afterwords though, because they aren't really that good to save. I do, however, have well over 400mb of melee replays.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-07-26 at 12:00:12
Well zone control is spawing ONE marine at a time. I mean like 10 marines just pop out kinda thing. I dun wanna argue lets just say that the replays screw up sometimes.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by chuiu on 2003-07-26 at 13:40:55
So tell me, how does it matter if its one marine at a time, or 20?

Spawning is spawning. Also, it isn't one marine at a time when every spot is taken.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-07-26 at 20:55:45
Eh em this argument is over already okay? Fine your right spawing does not affect anything about replays.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-07-29 at 00:36:33
I'm trying one of these do 20 tricks maps. How do you fling an SCV. There's a wall of tanks. I'm bored. tongue.gif Help me.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by ent on 2003-07-29 at 12:04:58
build something close and cancel and move scv over tanks??
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-07-30 at 11:09:23
Now I'm at a challenge where I'm supposed to build a tank while in the air, or something like that. =\
Report, edit, etc...Posted by ent on 2003-07-30 at 11:35:45
start build and liftof at same time then land on the other place to the right and it will finnish
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-07-30 at 12:07:20
But you see, the building either starts or lifts off, never both. Only like 2 tricks away from the finish. tongue.gif
Report, edit, etc...Posted by ent on 2003-07-30 at 13:18:27
well press both hotkeys same time and maybe you get lucky smile.gif
Report, edit, etc...Posted by chuiu on 2003-07-30 at 19:10:21
Hit L for lift and then T really quickly. Tank queued in mid air. gg no re biggrin.gif
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-07-30 at 23:43:44
I figured it out. Have now beaten the map. I am pwn. Thanks.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-08-19 at 00:45:13
i think those "tricks" are fun... but not if your in like a real battle... tricks should be left to the maps that tell you to do them... <_< <_<
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mini Moose 2707 on 2003-08-19 at 11:23:19
Some of these would be useful in real battles.
Drone Float, Burrowing under buildings (Lurkers), Drone Burrowing Crash (smile.gif), Cloaked Units and Buildings (hard to pull off because of two races needed), Templar Floatage, Tanks under Buildings, Interceptor Crushage, Stop Turrets, Zerg Pass Supply Limit, Zergling Lag Burrow (Annoyance technique happy.gif)
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-08-19 at 12:28:02
still,,, i think those triks are a form of cheating just like a bot... sum 1 saw a flaw in the game and they used it to there advantage... and it wouldnt mae the game fun. its just on of those things that would piss u off if u dot no how to do it... i.e the lag bot wih makes u both lag out.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2003-08-19 at 12:33:09
If Blizzard is stupid anought to let bugs roam around SC without paying attention to it, I think people have the right to use these bugs to their advantage...
Report, edit, etc...Posted by chuiu on 2003-08-19 at 14:07:25
There are bugs in everygame. No one can squash them all, because new bugs will be created. Blizzard killed the float a drone bug, but now there is another technique to do it.

And ignore Moose, he's just being gay. No one with half a brain would use them in melee or even a UMS not designed to work that way.
