Staredit Network

Any release date possible for a public version? And how do you propose to get tens of thousands of people to download this program?

Does this work for original starcraft...Or just broodwar...Or both...I cant find my BW cd-key...And i havent installed it yet... Sooo?

Of course it works for BroodWar.
Retard .

This is mostly a BW mapping site, for your info.

And here is a CD-Key...(Highlight the line under this)
NOCD-KEY4U-NEWB

broodwars doesn't even have a cd key

You know, the whole point of an April Fools joke is to CONVICE THEM, not COERCE THEM INTO BELIEVING. The fact that you had to edit everything in an extremely sneaky manner to prevent other people from being told that this is a hoax just proves that you suck at doing this.

Great job, mods & admins, you've proved absolutely nothing. Oh, and btw...
Proof.

And your SUPPOSED TO PLAY ALONG.
In such a way that you never belived them but people think you did.
Come on, thats half the fun .

Okay you all, you bastards that got my hopes up! Other than that, how could this automodder detect mods through protection programs?

Actually I don't think they did a bad job at this whole April Fools thing, it looked kind of official. But still some people saw past it, so meh.

like, oh my god, i wanna put a carrier inside of a shuttle, NO WAIT, i wanna put a carrier inside of a mineral chunk, and unload it in the water!

Obviously some of you didn't read my post...

Mods are only cool in the first place if you do it to make a map based on the mod...
Follow me?
(But I still love Spree)

I only play along if it convinces me, since the joke's on me.

Lol. He edited my post to.

I wonder how many edited posts there will be when this AWESOME proggy comes out soon, maybe TOMMOROW?

Clokr_...
This doesn't mean I'll stop bugging you about the real secret project .

I ment for original

I editted the posts so people can come to their own conclusions, rather than, someone else's conclusion. I left tracks everywhere in my edits. Check the quotes of editted posts, they are different...
And I intentionally left my name as an editor on the first editted post.

I knew there was a REAL secret project...



Which was mine. Woot.

It was only in his signature.
Unless he was kidding about the whole thing.

It's in C++ he says .

Clokr, you're a ing genious. Hell I don't even care if it was originally my idea (it was, btw ). If you pull it off, you deserve all the credit regardless. This could revive the modding community and totally redefine Starcraft mapping as we know it.

Looks like there's hope for multiplayer A&O after all!

P.S. I'll ing kill you if this is just another 4/1 joke!

I just figured it out! They meant it to look like an April Fool's joke... but it's really not. 100 minerals says that it's actually a real program! IP is a bit too clever for his own good. Luckily, my vast intelligence surpasses his own. Take that IP! Take that!

If theres a download of it, Then it is clearly not a April fools joke..

I dunno if its a joke or not, but I doubt clokr would have announced a "secret" project just to make it into a joke... or have a screenshot for it for that matter (though it's still possible).

Anyway clokr, just some advise: PLEASE get it right on the first release. This could be the next big thing, but if it glitches badly then it'll scare people off and no one will use it. I'd like to make a big fuss over this to help it spread, especially if I can make A&O with it. Yeah, I always have ulterior motives, but honestly this could totally revive SC if we play it right.

I don't know how Blizzard might react to something like this, though.

Since it'd already not April 1st... here it is:

When you run StarCraft:BroodWar, you press the original game *.exe, or a shortcut that opens it.
By doing so, it quickly extracts the information from your StarCraft *.mpq files (while you see the loading message) and than the game starts running.
Even if you delete the *.mpq while the game is running, it'll keep running, because it's temporarly saved.

Now, mods, are *.exe files that has their own *.mpq and that *.mpq has all sorts of changes.
If you'll change the *.mpq in your StarCraft directory into the mod's *.mpq, it will keep running on the original *.mpq, just as if it was deleted (doesn't matter... the point is that it's gone).
So you'll have to either manually or by a program reopen StarCraft, means exiting and than re-opening, and than automatically entering bnet, and automatically entering the game you entered that activated it.
Unfortanutly, since the program runs thru bnet that you opened from StarCraft, as soon as it'll start it's procces it'll close your StarCraft and there it ends.

If you'll want it to continue, you'll have to put cookies on your temp files to do the rest of the process.
But if you'll start automatically downloading cookies from bnet, that runs thru an *.exe, the computer will detect that as a virus, shut down the program, and delete the cookie.

So actually, unless you create better editors that allow you to mod the maps themselves and not creating a new *.exe, changing mods thru bnet will be inpossible.

Please don't edit this post, it took me much time to write it...
And besides, as I said, it's not 1st April anymore, you shouldn't have abused gullible people here by telling them such a hoax from the first place... some might get shocked knowing it's not true (since everyone want that to be true).
