Any volunteers? Some russian guy from 7x told me that they "are working on it". That was one year ago. So I need a new programmer. Probably a person who can setup a bnetD server is enough - it has to be an old version, since pvpgn requires starcraft 1.08+ | ||

money? for what? oO I will just email PWL then. and ask the people on dt's website, who will insert random trojans into it Can someone tell me what was the name of that Russian programmer that made the first pgtour launcher? I;m not sure if he is programming now, because I think his wife died or something like that (Im not sure if he didnt commit suicide) - if I had to pay - I would pay him... | ||

[url blocked] After those 2, we could not get it to play any more, guess it was just a stroke of luck. But, those 2 gave me enough motivation to fix the error, and after about 4 hours of work, I did it: http://avantageous.com/NewStarcraftBetaExe.rar The game is still sorta buggy (I got desynched from my opponent one game, and got crashed another game), its definitely playable, so if you wanna see Starcraft from a time when drones have ultra-range, or when workers stack all the time, rather than just when mining resources, now's your chance. | ||

You need to have a full install of the beta, then you should just be able to extract that rar into your folder and replace the original exe. Then of course to actually play, you'll need a PvPGN server that doesn't have version checking turned on (easiest to run this yourself), and another person to play with. You'll also need to modify battle.snp with a hex editor (view my previous post with the link to staredit, there's more info on that there) in order to change the battle.net ip's to your custom one. After that, you're set, enjoy! (I should really make a site for this, bleh, its too complex for most atm  ) | ||

They have a normal, 5 damage attack, and an ability you have never seen: blood boil! Its like an irradiate, but you sacrifice a unit for it. Dark swarm also requires a unit sacrifice. | ||

the server can be a pvpgn server set up via 2 computers (1 server, 1 client + other player(s)) using hamachi it can also be a standard pvpgn server, but it has to allow broken/unknown applications as for battle.snp you change the ips in it near 0001EDF4 you also need the cracked exe, otherwise you will get an error after building one unit thank tec27 for cracking | ||

I am relatively certain that Netcraft's setup makes it impossible for the beta version to connect. I only made that battle.snp based on a request, haven't even tested it TBH. I *hope* to have a little tutorial up by tonight as to how you can setup your own private server to play on. | ||

If you're not, go to Start->Run and type in "cmd" (without quotes). Then when the command prompt pops up, type in "ipconfig" (again without quotes). That'll give you the computer's IP Address.

but later they delted 4 - they can be used in UMS mode though one of the players controlls "dead" players' units - in beta they keep mining and attack you, if someone leaves one player controlls things like dark swarms (these are units which belong to him) etc the "?" changes into a really lame face when you press start the font is different when you write something you dont see your own id no sound during countdown, as well as no sound when a message in game comes the game reminds me of warcraft2 battle.net edition | ||

(that might also depend on the map)Vultures and mines are awesome in this version, with the exception of when your vultures get stuck on each other/mines, which happens a *lot*. Only way to get them off is to attack the ones that are stuck. But, as I said, mines rock. They come out of the vults *running* rather than just sitting still as the vults float off of them. The vults don't actually float off in this version either, rather, the mines run off the vultures. You can also mine things from a distance, along with the fact that mines attack larva. A favorite strategy of mine is to get 12 vultures and tell them to mine a larva (actually clicking on a larva). This will make them "shoot" mines out from like 6 tiles away, and the mines run in and explode on the larva, thereby killing the hatchery | ||

Very interesting, very eye opening. Starcraft could have been a complete flop with only a FEW minor differences (such as the mines). TIberian Sun by Westwood was a pretty decent RTS... but the soviets had underground tanks. IF ONLY THEY LET YOU ATTACK THEM when you had detection, the game could have survived. But NO.... you can't! So everyone got underground tanks ALL the time and it was gg allies. | ||

 , we've already gotten StarCraft: Beta to work on Battle.net. It uses a l2k-Shadow's "StarCraft Beta Gate" launcher. http://sc.gosugamers.net/features.php?i=a&id=2198 Go there for instructions on how to download StarCraft: Beta as well as downloading and setting up the Beta Gate. While l2k-Shadow is not currently supporting the project, he has released the source code if anyone wants to update it. | ||

I am late to the scene, but I would love to find an SC Beta community. No matter how much I search forums and scour google, it seems there has been no talk of SC Beta for the last 14 months. Currently I am using CidHighwinds link (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3DFHMNXG) to download the SC Beta file (can't find it anywhere else on the internet). I cannot find the "SC Beta Gate" (http://sc.gosugamers.net/features.php?i=a&id=2198) program that I need to log onto SC Beta Battle.net, though. If anybody is out there, help? I think the BETA could be a lot of fun. There are no maphacks or other gameplay affecting programs for it so it's the only pure StarCraft experience until StarCraft 2 comes out. Also, it'd be interesting to have some serious balance discussion. Like, which race is the most broken and if the game is or is not playable on a competitive level. | ||

Also there is probably no beta community since beta has been closed for... 10-11 years or something? You can still play it but the amount of people there is going to be very low. Anyway GL in you quest sir. | ||

http://www.filefactory.com/file/90f3fe/n/SC_Beta_Gate However; the program will need to be slightly modified (the source code is included) in order for it to work with the latest B.net connection modifications. l2k-Shadow modified the Beta to work with the current connection protocols. I've uploaded that file: http://www.filefactory.com/file/bc05ec/n/SC_Beta_Gate_rar Follow the setup guidelines here: http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft/features.php?i=a&id=2198&start=50 Also: It may take a while for Battle.net to load upon connecting. If you receive a UDP Plug, you must port forward 6112 on your machine. The Beta Gate uses StarCraft shareware to connect, therefore, you won't be able to join private channels. Make sure to open StarCraft Beta by using the Beta Gate program, not by opening the actual beta.exe. Remember, this is a pre-release beta of StarCraft, so it is very prone to crashing; however, don't let that ruin your curiosity and fun. Have at! | ||

I downloaded the SC Beta Gate from your link (http://www.filefactory.com/file/bc05ec/n/SC_Beta_Gate_rar) When I try to run the SC Beta .exe file, I get an error that says "component 'MSWINSCK.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2 and I've never had a problem running a program ever. The only game I have installed on my computer is StarCraft Beta. Is something missing from the SC Beta rar package? | ||
