UPDATE: NEW BASE FILES, thanks to guitarizt!

USBase: [url blocked]
EUBase: [url blocked]
AsiaBase: [url blocked]




ok to answer some of the questions in this thread~




How do I change servers/play on multiple servers?

StarCraft II Region Switcher

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?y0ndtgtngtn

This is a batch file (.bat) that I wrote for easier switching between regions when using one copy of the game, in order to save the space of having multiple copies of the game. To use it:

1) Download the base files you want and name them EUBase.SC2Data, USBase.SC2Data and/or AsiaBase.SC2Data, then put them in the same folder as your default base (Mods\Core.SC2Mod\). Do not rename your default base file (Base.SC2Data), just leave it there.

2) Place the batch file in the same folder as the StarCraft II executable, usually C:\Program Files\StarCraft II Beta\.

3) For convenience, right-click on the batch file -> Send to -> Desktop. This way you'll have a shortcut on your desktop for easier access. You can even change it to the StarCraft II icon in properties if you want to.

What does it do?

This script will rename the base files for you, run the game, and once you press any key in the batch window, rename the files back again to default (couldn't get it to do this automatically after SC2 is closed ). This means that you must not close the window manually, but follow the instructions. If you do close before they're renamed back again, you will be noticed by the script next time you run it so you can rename them back manually, so no big deal.

If the batch file has been used correctly (as in not closing the window manually), you should be able to run SC2 the normal way in order to use your default base. You can however simply use the batch file at all times, as just pressing enter instead of choosing a region will run SC2 with your default base.

If you are having any issues, tell me, and I'll try to fix and reupload. It's working perfectly for me at the moment, at least.


Is a friend key sent to a US/EU/Asian account already bound to any server?

No, a beta key can be used to make any kind of account, depending on the battle.net account it is applied to.

How do I make sure my account is tied to a specific server, if I am not geographically located there?

If you want It tied to the US, go to us.battle.net, create an account and list your country as united states. type in a random address and find a state and zip number from google or whatever

If you want It tied to Europe, go to eu.battle.net, create an account and list your country as any european country (personally, I prefer United Kingdom). type in a random address and find a city and zip number from google or whatever

If you want It tied to Asia, go to tw.battle.net, create an account and list your country as Taiwan. (do not try making a chinese or korean account, unnecessarily complicated)
while you're making an asian account with your country as taiwan, this page could come in handy

http://www.stars21.com/translator/taiwanese_to_english.html

type in a random address and find a city and zip number from google or whatever

The best indicator of whether or not you managed to trick battle.net is to log into your account and check the top right

For US accounts it will say English (US) by default

for Europe it will be English (EU)
[image loading]



and for Asia it will be in Korean or Taiwanese
[image loading]



(is that the same as chinese? I never found out, but I think its like traditional chinese)

After you use these signs to assure yourself that you did in fact trick bnet, input the code into that account and enjoy

Im having issues with crashing and such after installing the other Base.SC2data files!

Are you sure you did as was described in the first part of this post? If not try it that way. I know some people with windows 7 installed have issues trying to do this server switch, so im not sure how to help there >_<

no, you'd need an asian account to access that beta, wouldnt you?

You could just have 2 installs~~ Just make sure when it asks if you should overwrite directory X you choose no and back that directory up (ie rename it to XYZ [EU] or XYZ [US]).

Switching the "Base.SC2Data" file in "Starcraft II Beta\Mods\Core.SC2Mod" folder of your SC2 installation with the same file from another SC2 client will allow you to play on multiple servers without multiple installations.

I got a friend to send me his US "Base.SC2DATA" file and I replaced the file on my EU SC2 install and managed to login with a US account and play on US B.Net. I have two Base.SC2DATA files (one for EU and the other for US) and I just switch the file names around depending on which server I want to connect to.

[edit for clarification: YOU NEED ACCOUNTS ON THE RESPECTIVE SERVERS TO CONNECT TO THEM (You can NOT connect to the EU server with a US account and vice-versa.) This is only useful to people who have access to multiple accounts on different servers or people who have downloaded the wrong client and do not want to redownload the client again.]

Not too sure if this breaks anything or not but it works completely fine for me; I even managed to get patch 7 when connecting to the US server with a EU SC2 install without any issues.
Hope this helped.

Cool stuff, I'd rather have this then download a new client, since currently im back home in bangladesh so my internet is terrible...
could anybody using EU client please upload their Base.SC2DATA file?

There used to be a tip floating around, where you had to use an mpq editor to change something in the SC2Data file to be able to connect to another server. I can't find it again though.

As stated a million times already, you need an EU account to play on EU server.
