Hello everyone, I need some help with any patch.
Through patch I can see more changes in custom campaign, but I can't open file and I don't know why...
Even I tryed put a patch in folder with game's label - not work.
Why so happen? How I can open patch files?

I have no idea what you're trying to do, but when a tool doesn't find StarCraft.exe there's 2 common reasons:
- It was made for SC 1.16 (or earlier) and you have the Remaster installed
- Your SC 1.16 isn't properly registered. Set a couple registry keys to fix it: https://www.regfiles.net/registry/starcraft-brood-war-registry

Oh man, you made hard task for me, but i'll try explain.
Sometimes custom campaigns have patch, it is change game process, but i can play without it.
Once time i could open patch (Liberation for example), but now i can't use it.
And everytime i see error (screenshot) and i don't know what i must to do.
Well, i don't know that say you more.

SEMPQs don't work with windows 7/10. You'll have to extract the files with PyMPQ and turn them into a new MPQ archive before loading it with Firegraft.

It's not difficult. It only takes a few minutes. I'm slowly doing it for every campaign I make playthroughs of, but I can start porting them all I guess. I've done Dark Swarm since you had that open in your screenshot, it's available here: https://mega.nz/#F!v0ZyXBQD!fOwakUGByRh4t2r6L3wV_A

edit: also did the following
-ACMD0
-Battle of Otto Heigndal
-Celestial Reverie: The Sweet Science

I'll do more later.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
