Quote from Mrih8u
I normally Hate everybody (I'm Mrih8U after all), So I wouldn't normally justify this with an answer, but for those of us who wish to make a No-Frills yet fully functional Starcraft.mpq and Broodwar.mpq, I've listed all the files required below (at least I think).
Using Winmpq it will use the latest form of MPQ compression which means the files would be smaller compressed in this way, than the original install.exe files. Since these lists are so huge, I recommend, turning off any MPQ file lists you have and making separate ones for these so you don't need to search for each file individually.


PS: I removed all the list, since everything couldn't be displayed, so I put them in 2 lists for everybody, arn't I full of hate?
PPS: one of the lists was incomplete, I had to change the fix it.

Note links don't work

Um, why do you feel the need to revive a 4 month old thread? This was solved long ago.



If anything cool is ever going on Skype me up under the name "blarghle"

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
