Patching SC1
I installed starcraft on my SCII Collector's Edition USB, and I'm looking to patch it up to 1.16.1 for better gameplay or whatever, just need to patch it. Every time I run it and download the update, it tells me that it can't find broodat.mpq, but it's the installer that was on the USB, so it shouldn't need to find it because it's on the USB. Can anyone help me patch this so that I could hopefully play it online from my USB?
Just Here For The Pie
Have you considered transferring it to a computer to update, and then move it back to the flash drive once patched?
None.
I order you to forgive yourself!
Is broodat.mpq on the USB in the starcraft folder? If it is not, then put it there. If your question was about how to play the game without the cd, follow there steps:
Quote
- If you own only StarCraft, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft CD to your StarCraft folder and rename it to "StarCraft.mpq".
- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft: Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder and rename it to "BroodWar.mpq". If you wish to play the StarCraft original missions then please copy and rename the install file from the original StarCraft CD as well, as listed directly above.
- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft: Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder and rename it to "BroodWar.mpq". If you wish to play the StarCraft original missions then please copy and rename the install file from the original StarCraft CD as well, as listed directly above.

DarkenedFantasies -- yeah it's a file size limit, around 2MB. there are files in the database that are larger than this, so I guess the limit has been reduced over time or there are hidden criteria[2026-1-22. : 6:39 pm]
DarkenedFantasies -- it does seem to be a file size limit. Uploading a 31MB zip of multiple maps also fails, but a 350KB zip of my mod's plugins (without the 8.5MB mpq) went through.[2026-1-22. : 2:55 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- is there a file size limit or something? Uploading a 9MB zip file fails silently, but uploading a 1MB map worked fine.[2026-1-21. : 11:26 pm]
Excalibur -- https://staredit.net/uploads/database/00032_IMAGES/00006524-1452572-5232397.png There is literally no reasonable excuse for this.[2026-1-21. : 5:02 pm]
Excalibur -- Well for starters you could read some of the basic guides in the melee section and stop uploading absolute garbage
