Anyone remember good old days with random planets in WOL? You was able to see those planets when you finish the WOL campaign. In Heart of the Swarm this rule still works - you need to finish WOL campaign to see random planets, and not only the blue one with Battlecruiser.
Like it? I think, yes. No, you do not need to unpack your saves to finish the WOL campaign. You can get those nice random planets by doing next steps:
1) Close StarCraft 2
2) Find next file:
Documents -> StarCraft 2 -> YourAccount#123 -> CampaignProgress.xml (open it with Notepad)
3) you will see something like this, if your campaign progress was corrupted or you haven't played campaign:

4) Replace <CampaignProgressList/> with next lines:
<CampaignProgressList>
<CampaignProgress id="HeartOfTheSwarm" tutorialfinished="0" campaignfinished="1"/>
<CampaignProgress id="WingsOfLiberty" tutorialfinished="0" campaignfinished="1"/>
</CampaignProgressList>
5) Save the file and hooray, you got the random planets back

Not tested, but here is the way to make them randomly changing by just putting these lines.

The code from 1st post works in any case

Just did it and i still have the default planet. How often does it change? or did it not work for me?

It randomly changes between 5 planets, including blue one with battlecruiser.
You can see all the planets by toggling Planets - Kerrigan - Planets - Kerrigan - etc

I thought it's obvious

would it still be possible to overwrite those planet images like before to have our own custom pictures?
|
Do you never stop doing cool things? 
|
This is really cool, thanks!

No, MPQ editing has been impossible past 1.5.0 and has always been a violation to TOS.

Awsome! Thanks a lot.

Yes. Last save game irrc. The planet of your last completed mission.
Edit: or maybe that's just in game. At least all the planets have something to do with the campain.

Cool, I just did this. I don't know why I had to do it though since I did beat the wol campaign and had them already in rotation before Hots. Must have stopped when I upgraded to hots or something, hadn't even noticed. Thanks!
