Something to mention is that I never got this step:

6. Setup the Gate, you do need a valid StarCraft CD-Key now, also remember not to put any dashes or spaces when typing it in.

I unzipped it and it asked me for the server. It didn't ask me for the cd-key or anything required to set up the gate.

Actually, yea. I need to take step 6 out since the new Beta Gate runs off of StarCraft shareware and no longer requires a CD-Key.

What's your OS? You behind a router?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have Vista Home basic, and I'm directly connected to cable with no firewalls.


Is that 32bit or 64bit? There's a different Deamons Tools application that is made specifically for 64bit OS versions.

And just FYI: http://www.tuatm.net/WinVista_Upgrade.html

You might be able to do that in order to get Vista Ultimate with no monetary requirements. Basic is missing out on a few good features

Oh I KNOW how to get Ultimate, haha. I'm too lazy to do it right now. Thanks for the link anyways. I didn't realize it was possible to do it without any special tricks.

I have 32bit. And I got the 32bit daemon tools. Well I'm at a loss it you took out step 6.
Just to make sure--I am the main computer the internet is connected to, but I have a wireless router. Is that affecting it? I'll direct connectly right now and see.

Ok yeah. That was the problem. I need to directly connect to the modem itself.
Darn. That really sucks. On one hand I'd be happy playing SC Beta, but on the other I'd be pissing off everyone in my house.

So a few things I found:
SCVs gather 10 min/gas at once.
CCs only provide 2 supply, you begin with 2 SCVs. Starts off really slow... -___-
CCs cost 250min
You need to research wraith ground atk
tanks and wraith cost only gas (haha, making substantial materials from a gas. weird)
YOU CAN ACTUALLY MULTIPLE SELECT LIFTED BUILDINGS!!! Their wireframe doesn't look too good though.
You need to research EVERY SPECIAL ABILITY in an unit.

Things move really clunky, you can play 1vs0 (lol.), and you can d/c yourself and play awhile before SC realizes your off the net and pops out an error. Making you terminate the program.
DAMN.

It might be too much to ask, but maybe you could trick the program into offline play? Thanks.

Where can I download the BW Beta? I cannot find it anywhere.

Please help if can.

I have the SC Beta and Beta Gate files. I am planning to make a Beta website and torrent the SC and BW Betas.

I have a real Brood War beta disk that was sent to me by Blizzard many years ago. I think I will try to sell it as a collectors item once Starcraft 2 gets closer. Anyone have an idea what this would be worth? There were not very many beta testers on battle.net when I played, so it must be pretty rare.

Sorry for bumping this.. anyways, me and a friend were trying to play this last night and got all of it downloaded and ran the Beta Gate and everything. However, whenever we would connect to Battle.Net, we would get the Port / packet error and not be able to play any games.This happened on all four gateways. The question was asked earlier in the thread but no one really answered it... does anyone have any ideas?

Could someone re-upload the Beta-Gate? I have googled like crazy and searched torrent sites like a madman, but I have yet to find it. I have the Starcraft Beta disk-image file, but to get it working using the only other alternative method that I know of - using PVPGN in conjunction with MYSQL to set up a server on a different computer after having altered the battle.snp file with a hex editor in order to trick the beta client to connect to it (all the while behind a router) - simply proved to difficult for me.

So, if someone has it and would be kind enough to upload it somewhere so that I and others may experience what the Beta version of Starcraft was like, that would be very much appreaciated .

http://www.savefile.com/dl/AEK7GBRU Uploaded and done for all to enjoy. I need to know how this works though. I get a runtime 72 error when it says something about the IX86Ver3.mpq file. I tried this on both 32bit and 64bit systems. I am running through wifi. Is that a problem?

:o

do you have the actual SC beta?


Yes I do, am I allowed to upload it here? (If yes, let the nostalgia begin!) I am kind of sick of the SC2 players here that never played SC1 nor even care about it.
