have you been online yet? I think the download folder gets created when you join a game and you don't have the map so it can be downloaded somewhere. Try creating the folder and stick them in there. Should work.

hmm I don't think you need to worry about the scm and scx, the maps will still work.

when you load up iccup, do you see any of the other maps? Did you try creating the download folder inside maps and then sticking the maps inside the download folder?
On mine, it's starcraft>maps>download>iccup map. The maps are inside the iccup map folder and everything works fine. Alternatively you could just join a game with the map you want to play and get it from someone else if all else fails.

I don't really know how else I can help you because it should work pretty easily after you stick them in your map folder

edit: cool, enjoy the iccup experience

New players should definitely check out Day[9]'s Podcasts (specifically the one about build orders) and the first 100 or so dailies, which are BW focused. If you don't watch any other daily, watch # 30 for 2 reasons:

1) I'm in it, featured as a D- noob
2) he offers a lot of good insight on what to focus on for anyone under C rank

Also check out Stylish's VODs. He was an A rank Sweedish player, and I believe that he was also Morrow's coach before he became a household name.

Using these 3 links, I was able to get to C- in about 3 months with only standard play.

Best of luck, BW is awesome!!
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

Easiest way to beat the computer: pick a standard "safe" build and use vs. comp games to practice maxing out. Don't even bother attacking till you hit 200/200: when you do attack you'll just roll the AI. Warning: you will be attacked relatively early (thus the use of a safe build): I think the standard AI timings are 2 control group medarine/12 zealots/random hydraling attacks. When you get a little better, use normal builds and you should still hold the attacks.

I'm playing Brood War via the ICCUP launcher in windowed mode, 2x the size, and the picture looks quite pixelated. I was wondering if there is a way to apply antialiasing to ICCUP's Brood War window.

IF we are bumping this, I think it's worth mentioning that there is a superior solution to the windows 7 color issues than the killing explorer.exe mentioned in the OP: Use w7ddpatcher.


Haven't seen this one; fill me in and I'll add it to the OP.

apart from the colour issues on windows 7, has anybody else had the problem where your computer just randomly freezes while in game? The music still plays in the background but no keys work (ie can't access task manager, alt tab etc). The only way to get out is a hard reset. I heard that the taskbar kill also fixes this issue but can someone confirm this? Thanks!

Besides the whole color issue with windows 7 I have an issue that the game just freezes and I can't do anything about it. Can anyone PM me about how to fix this? Also, I need some bw friends to play with! I'm getting back into brood war, I don't know any builds or anything. Help me out? xD Thanks,

toast.

I can't even log into the game. Get to the log in screen, asks for me to create an account or type in existing information. Nothing is working........

Every name is apparently taken and my iCCup account information doesn't work either.

Yea this has happened to me and when using this the taskbar fix does seem to take care of it. Oddly, it never happens to me playing on ICC, only when I have played offline or on something like GR/hamachi has this occured.

You have to register an account first at the ICCup website. You can't try to create an account from with the BW client itself. If you already did that...not sure what to say. Maybe try making a new ICC account from the ICCup webpage.
