Thus, I would appreciate it greatly if you could provide a bit more information about what, exactly, I would be downloading. Thank you, good sir. Edit: Linux has been good to me and if somebody can confirm that this is legit, I will be overjoyed. | ||

Besides, the only other files that are run when the package is executed, are the AppRun, which is a bash script that creates ~/.starcraft/ and runs "wine Starcraft.exe", and wine itself, which is a minimal version of the latest wine I downloaded from ubuntu repositories (wine1.3_1.3.4-0ubuntu1~lucidppa1_i386); you can md5 all the binaries and libraries. Then, there's only the ELF itself, which I'm not sure where it exactly comes from. It's been created using "AppImageAssistant 0.8" from http://portablelinuxapps.org/ , and you can find the source code in http://portablelinuxapps.org/source/ (looks outdated, though) Alternatively, just burn some live USB using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and run starcraft on a read-only operative system; that way you'll be safe from any harm on the internets  | ||

I have to say, after a little bit of registry tweaking and the like, Starcraft BroodWar ran almost perfectly for me, except that the Battlenet menus were messed up somewhat (and even then, there was a patch that could make a fix of sorts for that). I was happily playing BW on iCCUp (badly) right until Starcraft 2 came out. There are so many factors that can affect the performance (your operating system, graphics card, driver versions library versions, what Wine registry entries you use, what version of wine you use - there are still bugs being inserted and removed that affect Starcraft performance) that saying a sweeping generalisation like 'Starcraft runs in wine like shit' is almost certainly going to be wrong. The worst (or best) you can really say is that your mileage may vary. I find BroodWar works well for me under Linux. | ||

Do you know what registry tweaks and wine version work best with BW? The beauty of these packages is we can embed the wine version and registry tweaks we want, and they'll be the same on every machine, disregarding the installed version of Wine, etc. We could even use different registry settings for nvidia and amd users, use tweaks for widescreen users, etc. Also hoers pron thread =| | ||

It disappoints me that, while I did bring up a legitimate concern, nobody has so much as given the time of day to what could potentially be a wonderful resource to those peoples in the community that uses Linux and can't get BW to work properly for the life of them. In fact, since my post describing the tragic events that had, at some point, befallen me, none of you have even responded to the content of the OP and have continued to circle-jerk in what you guys seem to have misinterpreted as a naughty joke. I'm new here, so I can only presume how things run around here based on the handful of threads I've seen and the amazingly well-written commandments, but this community does not seem like one that would either: 1.) Leave an OP offering malicious software open... or 2.) Spend 100% of the responses in a thread rambling off topic. What is this? Reddit? Thanks for your time and consideration. Edit: So apparently, this is just a CD-rip and thus, this thread should be closed immediately since this is in clear violation of copyright policies, and since TL does not harbor pirates. | ||

lol took me a while to realize i didn't have fuseiso, but it works. installed and used acetoneiso to mount (which installed fuseiso w\ it) theres nothing wrong with the script and if theres any viruses it would be within starcraft or the wine binary but I dont think there is. | ||

I highly doubt it's the most convenient way to play it in that if you have wine, just popping in the disc and installing gives you exactly the same no-cd functionality. | ||

You could always build your own. Why build what has [possibly] been already built? That's why I ask. It seems for a LAN center or whatnot a preconfigured SCBW livedistro would be sweet. Incredibly easy to setup and takedown, also webbrosing/viruses/etc would have no chance to affect the media. edit @ RAZZ Does SCBW work natively in Linux [i didnt think it did?] I think the distro would have to be preset with wine working with SC out of boot. That is where I would need to be "creative". Of course then the LIVEUSB would function more like a portable OS, which is also good for personal use, but not for deployment. I love unetbootin! | ||

Yes, SCBW does work natively with the latest stable version of wine. So long as the image has wine and SCBW installed, you're good to go. | ||

I've never been able to get the antihack to run/update with Wine -> no LAN latency -> no playing BW on linux.

I just tried, and Launcher.exe doesn't run in the package I uploaded (you can test it extracting the package as an ISO file and editing the AppRun script to run Launcher.exe instead of Starcraft.exe), because I deleted some libraries it uses and the game doesn't (wsock32.dll,wininet.dll,winhttp.dll,oleaut32.dll,mpr.dll,wininet.dll,ws2_32.dll,iphlpapi.dll,wsock32.dll). After restoring those dlls, Launcher.exe runs fine, and it even launches the game. I don't know what else to test, I know nothing about ICCUP but if you want it can be packaged again with these changes.On October 10 2010 08:45 QuoC wrote: RAZIEL? POGI? What? No? | ||

In ~/.starcraft-icc/user.reg, you have [Software\\Wine\\Direct3D] "DirectDrawRenderer"="dri" "RenderTargetLockMode"="readtex" "PixelShaderMode"="enabled" "VertexShaderMode"="hardware" ;; DirectDrawRenderer = dri, opengl, gdi, glsl Which are the options that I think work better in my computer, but you can play with them, specially with DirectDrawRenderer. I think "opengl" is commonly used, but "dri" worked better for me. No idea about "dri" or "glsl". About the other options, you can try commenting them with ;; before the line and see if something changes. | ||
