Chill (1:38 July 05 KST): Discussing the cracked Bnet2 is acceptable in this thread.
DO NOT post any links to websites explaining how to install / use the crack. DO NOT explain in your post how to install / use the crack.
Thank you. |

That doesn't even make Sense. By the Way, the site activated my bullshit detector. The guy WhO 'popularises' the 'crack' seems to be French, not Chinese. The site iS Really pretty and already finished... no, no, no, that's not how I recall cracks to be spread. Also, the guy SaiD on reddit: "First I was like you, blabla, didn't believe it either, but then *tadaa*". Only thing left for him to say iS "works like a charm". I found it on reddit and did not see a thread here, so I made ONE. Dont be paranoiac. My take is that blizzard might realize that they can FighT as hard as they WanT, but they cannot outmsmart a whole community. Now they can either accept that their game iS not longer totaly their game but also our game, and maybe work with the community ( for better maps, for a better battle.net, for a lan support, for... game design ( WhO SaiD reavers, mines and Lurker?? ) and have a GREAT game that will last long....
I just know there is something to this post. I'm dedicating the next hour trying to crack your code. :-D

Thanks tlpdize/ detlpdize for the random capital letters ! :D Now that this is fixed, let discuss the topic
|
No LAN on SC2 is a grudge I still haven't given up on. I'm so trying this.
|
There were jokes by people saying "Blizzard just doesn't want to develop LAN and will just wait til the Chinese do it"
It was a joke at the time but god damn, I guess it shouldn't be too surprising to see that htis has happened in just under a year of release.

Someone on another forum apparently got it to work, i edited out the links & names
MOD EDIT: Seriously? Posting more info after the previous mod edit AND the thread note?
|
Finally LAN Mode. Hope i can test it out soon with my enGb installation :-).

Huh cool. Is it really just as easy as mod edit in the config file to undo it? Because I have the Chinese client installed and patched.

The only way blizzard will add lan, is if everybody stop pirating everything. Since that will likely never happen you can guess what the answer to when they will add lan is. PC gamers as a community brought this on themselves (also almost killed PC gaming).

people keep posting this point of view and i really dont understand it blizzard dont implement it, so community does. this is a better situation then having lan in sc2 retail?

I think the config file he's talking about is in the server-folder, so it's entirely self-contained.
Anyways, shouldn't you be working on those Korean Weekly VODs, I still can't watch the finals of the first cup

I don't get the appeal really, BW era matchmaking is horrible.
Obviously no tournament will touch this or they'll get sued.
Good for the cheapskates who don't buy the game I guess.

Game over, Blizzard. You refused to give us lan, so we did it ourselves. You tried to keep the power and it didn't work.
There are a ton of private wow servers and Blizzard hasn't been able to take them down. Wow makes a lot more money than sc2 does, so I really think that this is gonna work out really well for us. This is a huge turning point for the community!

LOL, that made me giggle.

If I wanna play a game with friends from NA, and I don't necessarily feel like spending 60 bucks just to do that, the LAN version is an obvious possibility.
If this gets more popular I can see some pros using this to play out cross-server matches instead of playing with huge lag. I mean, neither tournaments nor Blizzard will be able to punish players for using the LAN version and the replays will look just like BNet replays.
There are plenty of private servers for other games (WoW, MapleStory, etcetc) there's certainly appeal to it, at the moment the question is more, how dedicated are the developers and will we see a working english version for this?

really wish sc2 had lan.
i go to a monthly gig where's there's no internet connection. connecting to steam over 3G mobile is a massive fail when you're out in the sticks.
this lan client is nice, but i'd rather just play with my legit copy. pls blizzard, patch lan into the game?

I guess they might for non-casted games. For anything directly tournament run there's zero chance. No sponsor, and therefore no half decent tournament, will touch this with a barge pole.

The appeal is almost entirely for people who are cheap and refuse to buy the game/pay the subscription, though. I'm sure cracked LAN in SC2 is good for such people, but for anyone who's already bought it? Not that much use.
aside: Is it LAN or just a locally run server? I'm guessing the latter? AFAIK SC2 doesn't even have LAN code to crack. Though the OP says its a 3rd party run server which would be kinda useless..

what you do is go to an internet cafe, upload the software as open source and blizzard will forever in lost: cant sue and the software is always available. Sueing, threatening is not a solution for cases like this.
On 1 of the anti blizzard website, a guy has confirmed that the LAN version for english client will be available before august. If blizzard dont act quick they will not only lose on the chinese and SEA market. Just wait until a russian hacker get there hand on this and make it suit for ICCUP sever and blizzard can never shut it down as they cant for BW and war3

"Do we REALLY want chat channels?"
"Do we REALLY want LAN?"
|
less lag less latency cross server play
Everything we wanted and never got from bliz. The only thing they did give us is chat channels without any functions. And you guys think its not a big deal? When there is a good version out with server list and everything it will be used! Whoever create this mod, THX dude.

All of you talking about how they're going to be "Sued into oblivion" clearly have no understanding of past precedent with China and copyright law.
Love Team Fortress 2? Enjoy Battlefield: Heroes?
Final Combat, a Chinese developed game straight-out steals maps from Battlefield Heroes, and pulls weapons/class models straight from TF2 to make their 'new' game.
Nothing can be done about it. The Chinese rarely respect international copyright laws.
This will survive in China so long as it's supported -- and with China's quite sizable e-sports community, (Based on the turnouts for Brood War competitions held there) it could get a ton of popularity.
