Well, the BW is in 640x480 resolution natively, so if you're playing with windowed mode but want to have an illusion of a fullscreen, here are the steps: 1. Right click on your Chaoslauncher (or ICCup launcher) icon -> Properties. 2. Select "Run in 640x480 screen resolution" under Compatibility tab. 3. Run Chaoslauncher (or ICCup launcher) in Window Mode. 4. Position your StarCraft window perfectly so it aligns on all 4 sides of your screen (it takes little practice to position the top of the window, but it's pretty simple. Click on the red line and pull it up until you don't see red line anymore. If the sides are not aligned perfectly you won't be able to scroll with mouse in one or more direction while in game). 5. Use Alt + F1 to lock your cursor inside StarCraft window, so you can scroll normally in game. (you only have to do this once). With this workaround your desktop resolution will change to 640x480 everytime you start Chaoslauncher (after you exit Chaoslauncher, your Desktop Resolution will revert to your original one without messing up your icons!). You could also just set your resolution to 800x600 manually, then BW window will be big enough to play on, but it won't cover the whole screen. Also, if your resolution is bigger than 960 pixels in height, then you can play in the x2 windowed mode (Alt + F9 shortcut). | ||

 Never had your problem though. The biggest issue I get when playing broodwar is that spamming control groups + mouse commands laggs (IE if I spam 123123 it works fine, but if I go 1 right click 2 click 3 click it doesn't register the control group change). I might as well take advantage of this thread to get a potential solution! | ||

4 nexus 5-0 gateway, 1-3 units, later 1-4, 5and 6 too for units if needed. use hotkeys for tech buildings too as long as you have free buttons for them. like 0 robo or starport, etc. same can go for second nexus if there is not that many gateway yet. F2 natural F3 main nexus and later change that to 3rd base. this way you will cover all your nexuses and will always have f keys to transfer probes while still being able to use F4 as rally point bisu uses 4 nexus, 5-6-7-8 gateway and tech buildigs, 1-3 units but once he took the nat and/or has obs, he changes to: 4 nexus 5 obs! 6-9 gateway (he doesnt use 0 probably due to small hands?), units 1-3 and later 1-5. he covers all 3 nex with the 3 F keys. for rally point, he goes to his nat nex and slides the screen a bit. | ||
