As with all other 3rd party programs that modify SC2 game files, install at your own risk.

I've taken out the download link as a result of 1.5 stopping MPQ editing

Current Version: 1.4.0.1

Note: For people who have installed Stronger Team Color with this mod before March 3rd 2012, to restore the original colors, find the file enUS.SC2Assets located inside your Starcraft II installation in Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod, and back it up. Replace the original enUS.SC2Assets with the one in the same folder named enUSbackup.SC2Assets. Try the game, if it doesn't work, the only way to uninstall the mod would be to repair or reinstall the game.

I have created an easy to use program which will automatically install the popular mod Stronger Team Color for you.

You will not need to worry about backing up your files, as the program will automatically do that for you.

If you are using Windows XP, you need to install .NET framework 3.0: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=31

Install Instructions:
+ Show Spoiler +

1.) First, download STCInstaller.zip from the download link above
2.) Extract the files and folders inside to a folder of your choice (Avoid extracting on a network drive)
3.) Run the Stronger Team Color.exe file and press the Install button
4.) Select the region of your client, and the Starcraft II.exe file found inside your Starcraft 2 installation
5.) The program will now automatically install Stronger Team Color


Restoration Instructions:
+ Show Spoiler +

1.) Run the Stronger Team Color.exe file and press the Restore button
2.) Select the region of your client, and the Starcraft II.exe file found inside your Starcraft 2 installation
3.) The program will restore the original colors


Release Log:
+ Show Spoiler +


1.4.0.0/1 - Re-Release with 1.1.0.7 code (MPQ Editting)

1.3.0.2 - Rerelease with some modifications

1.3.0.0 - Re-release with modified code (Will now not modify any files). This is for patch 1.4.3 which doesn't require any MPQ modifications.

1.1.0.11/12 - Gui and another attempt (I might have nailed it this time) to fix the referral issue. At least, I know what it's being caused by now.

1.1.0.8/9/10 - ACTA protest link and back. No source code release (Nothing changed apart from an added form, which is now deleted)

1.1.0.7 - Another update to try and fix the server referral issue.

Archive:+ Show Spoiler +


1.1.0.6 - Further threading fix

1.1.0.5 - Fixed program size, I forgot it in the last update :S

1.1.0.4 - Tried to fix the "A referral was returned from the server" error. Weird, it should have been fixed but didn't for some reason o.o

1.1.0.3 - Fixes and etc...

1.1.0.0 - Remade extracting algorithm, redid certain parts of crucial code. Things are not fully optimized yet.

1.0.4.1/2 - Back to original style

1.0.4.0 - In light of the Christmas spirit, I have changed the program to a more "Christmassy" theme!

1.0.3.5 - If you press cancel on the "Close Starcraft II messagebox, the program will now not progress

1.0.3.4 - Code clean-up

1.0.3.3 - Corrected some multithreading issues, I will release code cleanups in 1.0.3.4

1.0.3.2 - Fixed an error which occured when the program reset

1.0.3.1 - Sorry for the lateness of this release, should have been a lot earlier. With this update, I no longer use flat files, and it should address some errors people have been having

1.0.3.0 - Massive code clean-up, and fixes. There may/will still be some problems, but I have tried to correct them this time around. Cost me one Starcraft II installation ㅜ_ㅜ

1.0.2.12 - Fixed error reporting

1.0.2.11 - Fixed something... I actually don't remember what

1.0.2.10 - Added tool tips for the check box and the link controls on the main section of the program

1.0.2.9 - Fixed some aligning issues, product id, and the Stuck? link on the "Application will now restart" section. Preparing code to be ported to the universal installer.

1.0.2.7/8 - Not really a bug fix, but it should help me pinpoint where the MpqLib.dll error occurs more.

1.0.2.5/6 - Minor bug fixes

1.0.2.4 - Forgot to add a boolean... Fixed!

1.0.2.1/2/3 - Clean up of version 1.0.2.0

1.0.2.0 - Completely revised the recursive system, people who had problems during the installation before should not have them now

1.0.1.0 - A few fixes... I guess...

1.0.0.8 - Added a Progress Bar to the installation process. You can check how much it has done

1.0.0.7 - Fixed minor bug

1.0.0.6 - Disable Effects checkbox added

1.0.0.5 - Minor Fix

1.0.0.4 - Program will now ask and close Starcraft II for you upon "Install" button press.

1.0.0.2 - Added a "Stuck?" button on the installing Stronger Team Color page. It should come up after around 3 seconds of it appearing...

1.0.0.1 - Now disabled the "Install" button if Stronger Team Color has already been installed.

1.0.0.0 - Initial Release



Notes:
+ Show Spoiler +

If you are playing on the SEA or US servers, patch for "enUS". "enSG" is SEA for the Singaporean client. Thanks to Tazerenix for that info


Source Code:
+ Show Spoiler +

The source code is not released under any license, you're free to use it however you want; with or without giving me credit.

I will be updating the source code as soon as I release a new update

Stronger Team Color Installer is compiled in VB.NET 2010. You can find the source here

If you need to add references, you will be able to find them in the Libs folder.



I will update this program regularly, and it contains an auto updater, so you will be kept up to date every time you run it. If you do encounter any errors, please PM me, and I will try fix it ASAP.

Thank you for using this program, and I accept any suggestions for improvements and feedback! <3

Going to slow down development for a while on this version to work on an improved, neater, completely revised version. I'll still be fixing bugs and following this thread though

Used this installer (in a beta version) to install the Stronger colors mod into my clients. It worked on the SEA/NA client and also a relocalised client to Taiwan.

Seems great, but a third party program that gives you any kind of advantage is cheating-

Dustin Browder voiced his support for the mod in an interview with TeamLiquid last MLG. You're not going to get banned for installing it.

This is not approved, but like pzea469's post says, Blizzard have no problem with it, and they actually like it. Here's a link to the original post: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/lsupz/finally_uploaded_rstarcraft_interviews_dustin/

This mod will not give you any advantage in the game, it only increases the color details on the units. You will not (for example) be able to see cloaked Dark Templars without any detector.

Nice. I tried to explain how to install this to a few interested friends of mine, but they were sadly clueless. I will definitely link this thread to them.

Good job!

Installer worked perfectly, I was pretty surprised as most programs etc on here i have to do evil symlink hacks to get both copies of SC2 done :<

Do you have the "MpqLib.dll" file in the same folder as the "Stronger Team Color Installer.exe" file?

Maybe it's just me... but I think I'm stuck on "Application will now restart to continue with the installation"


Check to see if you have the file "extract.bat" in the extras folder

Mac version ?


I don't know if a Mac version is possible, as I use the MpqLib dll, and as far as I know, you can't use DLL's on a mac... Sorry! I will try ask some of my friends to see if we can get something working for the mac

If you haven't already done so, try restarting the application. The only thing it's doing when it says that is deletes the temp\extracted directory, and runs the extras\extract.bat file.

I will add an update so you can manually force this

Edit: I've added a "Stuck?" link on that screen now. It should show up ~3 seconds after that screen is shown. Try clicking it. I may have to tweak some permission settings if that doesn't work. If you still have the extracted folder, then that means that it's not deleting it... =/ The program will update when you restart it

Edit2: TT I added the button in the wrong place, it should be there now, just restart the application
