Click: "Patch 1.04 Release: 1998-12-17 Changes: * StarCraft compatibility with Brood War implemented. * Resource Text Color changed to Green * Custom AI has been strengthened...beware. * Invincible Drone bug has been fixed " Basically it seems when you morph a drone into a structure like a creep colony, then reduce the structure's HP to a low amount before canceling, the drone will become invincible. Other fun stuff includes morphing a drone into a structure, shift right clicking somewhere just before it morphs, then canceling to make it float over everything (can be done with templars too). Most of them have been fixed though in the current patch. For speed runs exploits are generally allowed. Of course there are different type of categories (like 100% speed run with no exploits) but for general speed runs exploits are allowed. Yep good old SC1 bugs. I remember UMS where you had to float two high templar or a drone or do other exploits to complete the objective. Fun times. | ||

Er, the above video has him just building a hatchery somewhere far away and winning. Nothing about invincible drones. | ||

I don't know if I've ever played through the whole campaign without cheating before. It's just so looong. I should probably do it one day though. | ||

I've played the tassadar-shuttle-zealot mission a lot, using that strategy, but I used to send my shuttles below the spore colony rather than above and unload directly above the beacon. It kinda fails 99% of the time, though. I remember watching the zerg speedruns some years ago but didn't see so many exploits or weird strategies | ||

Nothing about invincible drones. the goal of the campaign was to bring the egg to that far away point, it seems that if you use the drone holding the egg to build a hatch at that spot, the game thinks its already there and triggers a goal completion, seems legit. | ||

I'm sorry, I didn't see your message. I have improved the current SC campaign speedruns by 45 minutes (from 3 hours 13 minutes). Definitely most of that time is from new strategies/glitches/running on earlier versions. Using the same strategies will not improve the time so much, no matter how good you are at the game. I would say 30 seconds max per mission. But it depends on the mission really, for example Z07 is really long and you must destroy 40-50 buildings, I'm sure a Korean could lower my time by 2 minutes on this mission.

And which levels did you play, did you really play all the complete campaigns in BW and original in two months? I finished the original campaign in two months yes. I love SC and speedrunning and got tired of playing online, so I got kinda addicted to this instead Since then I've been working on the BW campaign, but BW missions take much longer to complete because of the pause glitch... which makes running much more annoying to be honest. I've completed the Protoss BW campaign though.On December 11 2011 20:56 kdgns wrote: the goal of the campaign was to bring the egg to that far away point, it seems that if you use the drone holding the egg to build a hatch at that spot, the game thinks its already there and triggers a goal completion, seems legit. It's already there, because the drone teleports to the position where I build the hatchery. You just don't see it because it goes too fast. Thank you for your comments Dark Origin is all about the dropship. It arrives on random times, in my 0:55 run it arrived earlier than I've ever seen it do before. Most missions include random elements like this... ugh.Now something for you glitch haters P06 - 2:14 T07 - 0:26 | ||

I had already watched the old speedrun of the campaign, so seeing that clever use of glitch is pretty nice imho. Really love what you're doing and yeah, your dark origin is a sick improvement on the original :D I'm pretty sure you're overall more skilled than the previous guys, would love to see you execute of the macro missions (like BW Z10/Z07). Thanks ! | ||
