Update 01/09: Mass Recall version 6, aka Legacy edition, is available. The culmination of five years of work on the project, it includes lots of visual updates and options to improve the experience. Among other things, Easy difficulty has been made easier, and the player can now choose between Brood War and Starcraft 2 sounds for each individual unit. We are now gathering bug reports for an update that should come within a week. Enjoy!

1. Description and current status



These campaigns are remakes of the original Starcraft campaigns by Blizzard. They use the Starcraft 1 tech tree and units with all dialogs from the original game.

The 1998 cinematics are now available. The final mission of each campaigns still have their in-game cutscene if the cinematics option is turned off. A recording of the last one is available,as it can be seen in game after the completion of Omega. Massive spoilers, obviously, don't watch if you haven't played the campaigns yet:

4. How to play



In order to play the campaigns, you need the mod file (SCMRmod) and the map files from the campaign pages. Be sure to download the latest version of each, in the links above.

The mod file should be place in the Mods folder of your main Starcraft II folder (default C:/Program Files/Starcraft II/Mods). The map and campaign launcher files should be extracted in a Maps folder.

If you use the optionnal 1998 cinematics, add the corresponding mod to the Mods folder and replace the Launcher with the cinematics version.

To start a game, open the launcher, clic on Test Document (ctrl-F9) and select a mission.

5. Troubleshooting & FAQ



+ Show Spoiler +



I get an error "unable to open map".

This error means the map files are not at the proper place. Check that all numbered folders ("1. Rebel Yell") are put in the Starcraft II/Maps folder - and that you are in the main Starcraft II folder, as opposed to Documents. For more information, check the



I get an error about dependencies that cannot be found.

This error means a mod file is not at the proper place. All mod files must be in the Starcraft II/Mods folder, which already exists. Also, version 5.0 and newer require Heart of the Swarm. Older Wings of Liberty compatible versions are linked on the sc2mapster page, at the bottom of the "Downloads" section.

For more information, check the





Is this legal?

Yes. Unit stats are set through a mod file, created by the Starcraft II editor. That does not modify any actual game file.

Using sounds or models from a previous Blizzard game in Starcraft II is allowed as long as you don't earn money from your work, which we don't.



Some portaits are all grayed or their textures are missing.

This is a known bug that is specific to Ultra shaders. Decrease shaders to High or lower and it should be fine.



Some units have pink textures

This is a graphic bug at higher settings that happens from time to time. It seems to come and go for no obvious reasons.



I cannot load a saved game!

Try to start the same mission from the Launcher, and try again to load your save after the mission begins.



Something is not like in the original Starcraft!

I like to think of it as a remake. We try to keep it faithful and all that, but I don't really want it to be "the closest you can get to playing the SC1 campaign without playing the actual SC1 campaign", either.

Medics, lurkers and devourers are available in the first three campaigns. Valkyries are not. The campaigns were balanced with these units available for the players, however, you have the options to disable them in the Options section of the main Mass Recall screen.



For lore reasons, non-UED medics heal slower and don't have access to the Academy upgrades. In the original, only the UED used medics at all.



Some heroes have additionnal abilities. Again, that can be disabled in the Options section.



Terran04 and Zerg05 have a "third person shooter mod"



The point of this campaign is to play Brood War units in Starcraft 2, but we were forced to make a couple of minor changes for playability. Shield battery has autocast and replenishes shields at a slower rate, and the radius of psionic storm is smaller than it was in Brood War. The splash radius of corsairs might be a bit larger than it was, but this is difficult to evaluate. The things listed there were intended by the author of the campaign and are not a bug.



Known issues

+ Show Spoiler + These differences with the original game are known bugs.



Terran:

- Bunkers are not revealed when firing from high ground; the AI was sometimes given the ability to see them all the time.

- Valkyries always fire 8 attacks, even when killed or moving.



Zerg:

- Each nydus is connected to all the others.

- The Dark Swarm animation sometimes moves around at random.
