StarCraft anyone?

iccup channel "ags"? I got time for at least one game, maybe two.

I'm already in there chatting to you

Oh, wow.  You know what I just found out today?  I kept seeing all these Starcraft 2 vids on YouTube in the past few weeks, and always assumed that sc2 had already been released.  It's not!?
 Now I feel like a fool.



EDIT: Compatibility Issue with Vista and 7
Soon one of you will be running StarCraft on Vista or 7.  I think it's mostly 7 though, and not so much with Vista.  Anyway, there is a compatibility issue with the colors.  Something to do with the taskbar running on top of everything.  I've searched a few forums talking about this issue.  Finally I found a way to disable your taskbar while running StarCraft!

So if you're having the color issue, use this to help fix the issue until a patch is released:

Open Notepad and type in the following:

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
C:\"Games\Starcraft"\"StarCraft.exe"
start explorer.exe

Save the file with a   .bat  extension.
I haven't the slightest clue why there are quotes around the game directory for the game, but it works so I haven't tried it without.
Some people were putting   pause   between running the game and starting up explorer again.  So if some reason the taskbar is starting up on you before you're done playing StarCraft, perhaps this is where the Pause comes in handy.

Like this:

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
C:\"Games\Starcraft"\"StarCraft.exe"
pause
start explorer.exe

I'm happy that I can now play StarCraft on my new laptop.

Batch files make you 1337

Not knowing that SC2 hadn't been released yet makes you n00b


Way to achieve perfect balance, Ryan

We are actively using Game Ranger with Peder,dkh and Crimson Wizard.
Ben, are you planning on using it?

GameRanger runs kinda bad for me due to my horrible net, but if you're all up for a game at some point and don't mind me dragging you all down lag wise, I'll make some free time for a match or two

[ALPHATT]

Alright my name on there is ALPHATT.

[ThreeOhFour]

I'm up for a game or two in the next for hours.

[Crimson Wizard]

Guess I am too late, huh?
Well, I usually have some time after 3 pm (15:00) GMT, or so.

[ThreeOhFour]

Yeah, everyone's got free time at what is like 3:00am for me or something 

Anyway, I'm up for a match in the next while if someone wants a game now

[Crimson Wizard]

Hey, Ben, we are with dkh on game ranger at the moment. Do you want to play on iccup? Are you at some certain channel now?

[ThreeOhFour]

Oh crap, sorry dkh

I had to drive and get something and when I got back realized that I'd left it all running .

[ThreeOhFour]

*bump*

Don't tell me you guys gave up on this while I was finishing up Featherweight?

[DoorKnobHandle]

I play regularly on GameRanger now, it really is better than I thought at first. If  that doesn't run well on your system, I'm still up for normal games on Iccup etc. I'm up for a game atm!

(Crimson and Alpha are on GRanger regularly as well. The other seem to have stopped playing again.)

(HAVE to check out FW by the way, looks very interesting.)

[ThreeOhFour]

Yeah, Bnet seems to work better for me (despite latency issues).

Feel like an iccup game?

[DoorKnobHandle]

Sure, meet @ channel "ags".

[Akatosh]

Oh, hey... StarCraft. I haven't played that in years... may be fun to see just how far my skills have atrophied. (I'm not really sure what you guys mean by "iccup channel ags", though... ).

[Crimson Wizard]

(I'm not really sure what you guys mean by "iccup channel ags", though... ).

iccup is a legal free multiplayer-only version from iccup.com.
Channel is a same thing as "chat-room" on the battle-net.
Basically they say that they are using gateway "iccup", and meet on channel "ags".

For more info read the first post(s).

[Akatosh]

I think I've got it mostly set up... but it refuses to let me log in or send an activation e-mail.

[DoorKnobHandle]

Refuses to send you an activation email? Or did not arrive yet? Because you need that.
