Hum sorry if it doesnt belong here but I didnt want to open a new topic for this ,
so I'm now on iccup with the version of bw you can find on op but it seems like I cant create a group, tried ctrl-1 / alt-ctrl-1 / alt-1 / maj-1 / ect.. (and with different keys) but I couldnt have a group done.
Did someone experience the same thing and/or someone have a solution to this? couldnt find keybindings listing ingame.

If you come from sc2 without ever playing BW: You can't see your control groups in BW and you can't change hotkeys.

I just wanted to say that so you don't think you can't make control groups just because they doesn't pop up on the UI like in sc2. ^^

You make control groups the same way that you do in SC2, it just doesn't show up on the UI. You recall them by using the number, just like SC2. Shift+number will add units to an existing control group like SC2, but obviously up to the unit cap that control groups have.

Hope this helps!

It's kind of depressing for me as a fairly new bw player to log on to iccup D and only see 1-2 one on ones going on. Is that just how it is now? Are there more people C- and higher?

EDIT: Also see lots of "...only Z" or "...only P" which makes me sad as a Terran player ;;

I find that asking in chat helps. Also just hosting a game with a name like D/D+ fills up fast.

Being French you probably have an azerty keyboard. Play with caps lock. Yeah annoying, I know.

I'm having a problem with Brood War's aspect ratio. I play with an Acer V223W widescreen moniter and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, and the game is stretched to a widescreen resolution instead of staying 4:3 with bars on the sides. I've read others' suggestions on how to rectify this problem, but nothing has helped me yet. Here's my current NVIDIA control panel setup:

Any suggestions for getting my Brood War game to play with a 4:3 aspect ratio?

I ought to mention that ICCUP's launcher's windowed mode does work for me, so I have a backup if I can't get this working. It's just nicer to be able to play with a full screen instead of in a window, just a personal preference of mine.

EDIT: I thought I'd mention this. I took a screenshot of the ingame menu when it appeared to be stretched. However, this screenshot turned out to be the correct resolution of 640 X 480, not a widescreen resolution like I was expecting. Hopefully this will help point to the problem in my setup. Here's the screenshot in case it helps:

Did you try "No scaling" option?

Try setting "Perform scaling on" to "GPU", also try setting "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs".

I found my problem. Changing "Perform scaling on" to "GPU" corrected my aspect ratio. However, I should mention that I tried as many combinations of these options as possible yesterday with no luck. The trick that fixed this problem for me was to restart my computer. So if anyone else is having an issue similar to mine, try changing your control panel settings to something similar to this:

And if this doesn't change anything, try restarting your computer.

Can someone help with the color issues? Notepad doesn't do anything to the Starcraft file for me, is it supposed to be in command prompt? I tried that too and couldn't get it to work...

I've never played BW 1v1, but I'm gearing up to dabble in it a bit. Is ICCUP still the place to be to find 1v1 games? I think I remember reading somewhere that ICCUP was kind of a ghost town (next to impossible for 100% noobs like me to find a game) and that most people were using something else.

Should I start with ICCUP or something else?

Thanks!
