They are essentially the same server split into two. It's officially how Blizzard handles the servers, so there's no need to worry (i.e. that's what it says on the SEA client).

That's how Blizzard set them up.

For SEA and NA, I didn't modify the strings, it's reading from Blizzard's Strings. An unmodified SEA client will display those 2 regions, just the way you see them in my SS.

It has the same problem I have had today though - all it does is enable the region switcher, which is already built into ALL of the clients. However, you still need the correct language packs to use it. If I use this on US or SEA it works fine, but if you use it to log into EU, it gives you the "you need an authorized language pack" error, which I haven't been able to get around yet either. Nothing wrong with this file, it works fine.

But I will be a bit hesitant before using it of course. If something goes wrong I can always just reinstall the game right? Mid-master streaming MECH ONLY + commentary www.twitch.tv/yoshikirishima +++ "If all-in fails, all-in again."

Unless Blizzard bans your account. I don't really have a use for this, but this is a cool thing to have to play tournaments or customs in other regions. Unless Blizzard bans your account.

So this means you have to either buy an account for those locations? So for average joe who has the NA or EU version, this program is useless? So this means you have to either buy an account for those locations? So for average joe who has the NA or EU version, this program is useless? Smipims

but doesn't this change the .mpq files? I would love this for my korean Client, but I don't want to get banned from NA.Battle.net.



Also, what happens when you patch? Will the change go through or will the servers and patch detect an invalid version? Tasteless: "Well this strategy is made of balls"--Concerning Fruitdealer Vs. BoXeR

Yes, you need the appropriate account to each region to be able to log in. Yes, you need the appropriate account to each region to be able to log in.

My installation wasn't a clean one. :/



The files that would need to be changed, are MPQ files, which would mean, having exit the game, and editing the required file. Which defeats the purpose of me enabling the region switch.



Required Files that must exist | be editted:

Mods\Liberty.SC2MOD\Locale.SC2Data --Inject Locale files in (1 time edit?), could be renamed each time, instead of having 6 files.

Mods\Liberty.SC2MOD\Locale.SC2Assets --Same as previous file

Versions\Base####\patch-Locale.SC2Archive --only requires latest patch directory, in this case 18574, rename internal dirs to match Locale (different file for each region, max 6)



MPQ file to be edited each time on switch:

Mods\Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data -->ProductLocale.txt



I presume, that once I get around to writing it, it will be less bulky than GSC's Found out why it worked for me, and probably not you guys.My installation wasn't a clean one. :/The files that would need to be changed, are MPQ files, which would mean, having exit the game, and editing the required file.

If you can explain to me what this utility is doing/supposed to do, If I can help in any way just let me know. I'm downloading it right now to see exactly what it does.



May I suggest using mediafire to host your files instead?

Yeah this is exactly what I've been looking into today, can't find a way to edit the locale while the client is still running so the switcher isn't really helping me that much atm :/



The variables.txt file (localeidassets and localeiddata) in MyDocs also can have an effect on the language pack used but I can't find a way to make that override the client itself, if that would even help.
