If it took you 6 months to write that much, then you'd probably never have finished it, anyway.

Fair enough.

There are 3rd party programmes for it, but it's usually considered cheating. And yeah, I find o for overlord and m for muta pretty bad

Yes. Iccup version lacks the music and the campaign, and that's all as far as I know.
No unit sounds would make it pretty hard to play imho/

I always tried doing 3 hatch muta when I was playing bw, although at a low level:

Don't know if this is the best place to ask, but I did everything you said in the OP, and for some reason I cannot keybind control groups ingame. Anyone knows how to fix this? I'm using a Logitech G15 keyboard (Azerty) if that is relevant.

Thanks in advance.

As it's an azerty keyboard, numbers are up, you have to play with caps lock. Annoying stuff.

To be more precise than the answer above me, I'm sorry but there's no opening that will cut it in all 3 match-ups, this is especially true as zerg. My advice would be to pick one (zvp for instance, protoss are pretty common on iccup, and it's the more macro oriented I guess) and to train only this one at the beginning. In this case read Liquipedia and use 3 hatch spire into 5 hatch hydra I guess, it's a bit outdated but it will give you a good feel for the match-up.
Well, good luck adpating to the numerous one base build you'll encounter at D level though.

not entirely sure if this belongs here, but i have a big problem. 3weeks ago i started playing bw again, this time with iccup launcher and stuff and i play windowed mode 2x but in that mode it lags like hell. my pc can play sc2 without any lag so i think i should be able to play broodwar without problems.
when i play on full-widescreen there is no problem at all but its not cool to play in widescreen. i have 2.6ghz 4gb ram 1gb graphics.

maybe and hopefully there is an easy solution to it

That's caused 100% by the Wmode program. As far as I know, there is no solution. I simply got used to playing like that.

Basically what I did was turn on fixed aspect ratio. That way I play in full screen (on my widescreen monitor) in a 4:3 aspect ratio..
Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.

It's under your video card settings

Under mine Nvidia Control Panel it's under Adjust desktop size and position. It might be different for different video cards... but a quick google search should have it.

Simple answer: yes.
There are plenty of people that still play and you will get rofl-stomped for a little while
I just started back again about two months ago, went about 80 games before i felt like i was actually winning games (as opposed to my opponent losing them, i.e. one base cheese that fails)

How do you deal with mouse sensitivity in bw? When i enter broodwar and start playing the sensitivity is so high cos the resolution is so low. It makes it REALLY hard to play both BW and other games.

I play with acceleration off and 6/11 in windows and 1200 dpi on mouse. Do you just change the dpi and get a different sensitivity or is there some kinda chart that shows how much 1200 dpi is equally in bw resolution or something?

It's okay if you play in windowmode but everything is so small then...

I'm not sure if this has been asked but... I use a Windows 7 HP laptop and... when I run BW... the loading screen comes up as grainy black/white/grey and then a black screen comes up. I can hear the buttons selecting, like if I press M for multiplayer, it goes there, but the screen stays black.... how do I fix this? I can't play BW...
