I was surprised that there are still like 10-15 people that still play Shareware. It seems like they are a tight nit community. If you are curious, check this out? http://sware.weebly.com/ I don't know but , I feel pretty sad about it. I wish I had CD keys to give to these guys.  | ||

Shareware is actually on 1.01. There are so many bugs at that can be exploited (but considered cheating) such as CC sliding and flying scv that are pretty funny. There have been many mods and hacks made for shareware so that you can play other maps, including UMS, and even as zerg. | ||

They actually made a crazy mod that literally creates the entire Zerg race from what I am guessing is a completely modded Terran race or something? I remember it being funny because they couldn't mod the overlord movement properly so the ovies would twitch move instead of hover move, pretty entertaining. but yeah, it is a small interesting community :D I think the modding is more dominant there because the creators of the software have free reign, Blizzard moderates that very little, hence why its 1.08, so they never have to patch their software and can keep making even more badass fixes. I wonder if they made the Protoss race modded yet? Been a few years, probably have it by now :D With that said, ANYONE WANT TO PLAY SOME MODCRAFT? | ||

As far as multiplayer goes, you could only play terran on one blizzard map (a truly horrible map too, not even lost temple or hunters).. and if you downloaded some sort of hack you could play BGH and zerg, but if anyone joined the game without the hack the whole thing would crash.. Theres really no good reason to play this instead of the real one. I mean honestly what the fuck are these guys still doing... If they can afford internet they can afford $10 to buy the game | ||

The people on Shareware only play Byway, the default 2 player map included with the demo, or Badlands Big Game Hunters, which is basically BGH converted to the Badlands terrain. The patch also lets you play as Zerg, but it's a bit unbalanced in ZvT because by default the spawning pool only costs 150. There is a mod in UltimatePatch that modifies the races a little bit to make things more balanced. Here are some differences between Shareware and normal SC: 1. Goliaths do 8 damage against ground units. 2. Science vessel costs 25m 300g vs. 100m 225g. 3. A scan costs 75 energy. 4. Wraiths do only 15 air damage. 5. Dropships are really slow. 6. Starport costs 200m 100g. I enjoy playing Shareware because it's simple. There are only two maps, and everyone pretty much knows each other. Because I don't have Brood Wars, I only really know how to play TvT, so that is my favorite and (in my opinion) most exciting matchup to watch between progamers. Here's a screenshot of Ultimate Patch for those who are curious, and another screenshot of the Shareware Lobby. There are only one or two games that are available for joining at any time. Sometimes it's completely empty. There's a guy on Shareware named lcpjk-julyeta who has over 8000 wins--all from the default Shareware map. Don't ask me why, because I don't know; I can't read his Korean chat. I'm almost 100% positive he's legit too. He's always playing. You guys should come on Shareware and see if you can beat him. He's really good! This is Ultimate Patch: ![[image loading]](http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/5268/ultimatepatch.jpg) This is lcpjk-julyeta's stats, and yes they're all from the default Byway map: ![[image loading]](http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/3898/julyeta.png) This is an example of what you will see when you try to join a game: ![[image loading]](http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/1410/lobbym.png) For those of you who may be curious, this is what the default Byway map looks like for TvT: ![[image loading]](http://www.battle.net/images/battle/scc/LP/9906/(2)Byways.jpg) | ||

There are various mods that you can choose. The most popular one is $4n, or "Money 4 Nothing" where all buildings/units are free, and you try to kill your opponent as soon as possible. There's a Wack Patch (pretty terrible in my opinion) that changes the weapons of units, i.e. Siege Tank attacks with the Sunken Colony Spine. Maybe that's what you're referring to. You can play Zerg, but you have to turn Unit Acknowledgement/Building Acknowledgement Sounds off because there aren't any sound files in Shareware for them, otherwise your game crashes. | ||

Shareware is actually quite fun. It's basically TvT on two different maps. Occasionally on weekends we'll have enough people for 3v3 or 4v4 BGH which can be pretty exciting. Games on BGH usually turn into massive wraith battles, since dropships are slow, there isn't goliath range, and scanner costs 75 energy. | ||

Do not get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with people still playing demos. You can still find multiplayer games with the WC3 and World in Conflict demos. However, whatever the shareware version is capable of, I fail to see why the regular version would not be capable of it and better. Plus, you can get it for as low as 4,5 Euros (6 Dollars) nowadays. | ||

And to all those who say "Buy BW it's only $10...etc", most of us had BW, and still came back to SW. It's all about the community, the same guys who played this over the years, and kept coming back for more. | ||

Those were the good old days I miss. Spent 6 hours + on that demo, creating clans, tournaments, chatting n just having fun. If you guys don't believe me, you can check my clan members list: http://www.angelfire.com/scary/swkclan/members.htm http://www.angelfire.com/scary/swkclan/index2.htm (ignore the serious news updates lol) Yesss that many people played SW, that's only one out of many dozens of clans. Shout out to anyone who remembers me. If your out there reading this, HOLLA! ps: I do play SC2 from time to time. Right now on SW, 1hr... nobody to be seen | ||

There was a byways x4 mod, and the EZloader... and zap.to/moh ...Wow, i still remember that...militia of hades, way back in my term-inator days. And up3, and up4.

I'm so happy to see some of you are still around and playing. I'm Z-Bahamut / MaGNuS]SwK[. I used to play with Jesse(roseart) , Z-marines , Z-sinister , newbieshizzz, blues.exe , shala, omnipresent, kursed, liminality, Eric(goliath), leetz and likemy I'm sure there's a ton more, however thats what i got off the top of my head. Wasn't as old school as some of you or even close to the same skill level BUT the chat and just learning how to play from some of you was GREAT. ps: i want to be a teenager and just play sware and push F11 all day again. memories. | ||
