Reclaimation of Aiur Bug - Weird Paul @ 3:44 PM
There is a bug in the Reclaimation of Aiur Campaign.
Rrrr.....I **THOUGHT** I got everything out...but the Stardraft executable for some reaosn reduces the Photon Cannon range to 4. I'll change this ASAP (among a few other small bug) and reupload. For those who got the full zip, you'll only need to download Rec-1.zip to recieve the update. Thanks to MasterOfMorder for pointing this one out. I have no idea how it slipped by in the first place. And thanks to Bluemage and Ginger Demon for pointing out that Pylons have the Dragoon pic instead of Fenix Zealot. Also, there are two Goliaths in mission 6 that shouldn't be there. That's been fixed as well, and HOPEFULLY this is the last update I'll need to make
Sharandar
I hope it gets fixed soon.

Strategy Update - SpaceDominator @ 8:49 PM
Guten Tag! I hope everyone has had an enjoyable day. First of all, I am sorry for the delay again about the strategies. I am working extremely HARD on these and the quality should of shown on the first few I have written. Second,I hope you have noticed that there is a new Tip Of The Week and a new Puzzle Of The Week up for your viewing pleasure. Also about the issue of poinless news. I agree with the staff. We are here to contribute to the Starcraft Community our strategies, our opinions, our information. So why not help them in return? Overlord and Weird Paul are right on the button.
Have an enjoyable evening.

About The News Reply - Weird Paul @ 7:50 PM
I agree with Overlord about the news, quality is based on the reader, one person my like it but another may not. I was told by Agelmar I couldn't post news about other sites hiring or looking for people, I will comply with him till told otherwise, but without that ability the news may be thin. Just my 2 cents.
- Weird Paul
About The News. - Overlord @ 7:33 PM
A few people have been saying to me that we should only post "quality" news. Well to them I say NO! I want to do something different here at sc:m. EVERY site out there only posts "quality" news. How boring is that? I don't know about you but I would rather go to a site with a very wide variety of news about any and everything related to SC/BW then go to 6 different top sites and get the exact same "quality" news. I personally think that all news is "quality" news. It does what news is supposed to, which is gives you something interesting to read about the subject. Which in this case is SC/BW. Agree, disagree? tell me what you think.
- Overlord
We are receiving maps from Star Alliance! - Overlord @ 7:08 PM

Reclaimation of Aiur Released - Weird Paul @ 3:56 PM
Sharandar of Campaign Creations has released Reclaimation of Aiur.
At long last, everyone, The Reclamation of Aiur, Part I, is available for download! Thx to everyone for your patience in the final days of this. For those of you who don't know, the campaign sports full briefing voices, music written specifically by a composer for the campaign, two cutscene missions, and seven playables. Warning: it is very difficult, as it is meant for those who have played through the SC and BW campaigns. It is available as a single monster file, or as ten seperate, smaller files.
Please send reviews my way! I'll post anything, good or bad, on the site. I look forward to hearing from all of you, and hope that all my hard work has been worth it. I'll be takinga short break after this, but don't worry, Part II will soon follow, and much more quickly than Part I since I have the voice templates already done and a few of the mission layouts. Hope you enjoy it! Download it here!
You can check the download site here, you can download the whole file at once (36 megs) or 10 separate smaller files.

M&M's (Really OT) - Agelmar @ 2:27 PM
Well, since we are Starcraft Millennium, I just figured I'd post a 'Millennium Update'. I picked up a bag of M&M's today, and on the package it said that M&M's were the official candy of the new millennium. So I figured, "Why not?" So we at Starcraft Millennium are proud to say that together, Starcraft Millennium and all its sites can do anything. All we need is our wonderful staff, wonderful support from people like you, and a bag of M&M's. ;-) Buy some M&M's and keep on coming back to SC:M. It's going to be the new millennium soon - anything can happen!

StarCraft on N64 - Fenix @ 11:50 AM
Well it now seems that N64 is going to release a StarCraft for the N64, even though I have a playstation darn, but it should be killer. I think it will be hard to make it from a keyboard and mouse format to a game control pad. The format of the game might be a little different, but I dont know yet. Here is the post about it from Nintendo Power :
"Last year's PC game of the year looks like a winner for the N64, as well. Starcraft will feature all the original missions and most of the missions from the Brood War expansion game, between 55 and 60 missions in all. The N64 title, which should be available by late September, will also feature two-player, split-screen action in head-to-head or cooperative modes of play on custom maps."
Looks like we may have a good N64 game, I wish they would make one for PlayStation too.

New Avalon II Lite - Weird Paul @ 8:57 PM
JQpanG over at Campaign Creations at released a lite version of New Avalon II.
I've finally given into the pressure and decided to release a 'lite' version of New Avalon II without the custom music. It's still a little over 2mb, but will be much easier for those of you who claim that an 8mb file is "impossible" to download. =P Along with the update is a few tiny bug fixes and minor game enhancements (like mission objectives), but nothing important enough to warrent downloading the level again. I also decided to scrap the 'delux' version which was to have music themes in the main scenario because (1) I discovered a rather nasty trigger practice I used (unknowingly) that prevented it from being implemented without a lot of re-woking, (2) it turned out to be over 20mb (over 30 minutes of music), (3) the themes I had didn't really enhance the level that much (basically the same moody Protoss themes), and (4) I kinda want to just move on. So there you have it. You can get the standard (highly recommended) version and the lite version here.
For a more direct download, try here.

Another Fenix Quick Strategy - Fenix @ 10:05 PM
Well if you have seen my last Quick Strategy Posts you know it works good, Right? Here is another good one from me.
This is for the Zerg and on a game agianst both 4 computers or 4 other people. First thing I must tell you is NEVER RUSH in a game like this. You will die as soon as you try it. All you need to do is first get defense, then work on a big time air attack. For the defense you need to build a lot of Zerg Sunken Colonies, because the more the better you are off. Now after you have made a big block of your entrace way to your base with Sunken Colonies just start building up to an big air attack.

StormShield Bot - Weird Paul @ 11:41 AM
There is a new version of the StormShield Bot.
A new version is available. It is 004 and can only be upgraded from 003 (because it requires that new ActiveX control which was found only in the .003 patch). This version was a BIG performance booster. Mainly I removed a lot of checks that were redundant, and it will try to do some multi tasking for a change (too bad Windows 98 really can't do much of that).
Changes for .004 :
- Greately speeds up the time it takes to add people to the chat list.
- Modified the main buttons so they look like... umm.. buttons.
- Overall messages processing will (try) not slow the bot.
The big thing for this version is that I went in and using the new Split function from VB6 I redone the core section that receives messages. I'm thinking of making an ActiveX control for public use that will do all this stuff for people interested in their own bots. Really, this is the only "hard" (not really) thing to make.
You can download the update here (86Kb).

Resurgence Bug - Weird Paul @ 4:38 PM
The Resurgence campaign has a small bug in the second mission.
Okay, I just got an email about this, so I figure I should warn people: there is another bug in Resurgence, in mission 2, "Crossing the Rubicon." I set up a trigger that says all players must command 0 Data Discs for you to win the mission. And I had it so when you brought a unit to each beacon on which each Data Disc sat, the corresponding Disc would be removed. Well, I got a report of some computer-controlled SCVs, Probes and Drones actually picking up the Discs and moving them elsewhere, screwing up the "remove Disc" trigger. So I fixed it and reuploaded Resurg1.ZIP as well as ResurgLite.ZIP, and if you re-download either of 'em (depending on which version you have), it should all work.
You can download the Resurg1.ZIP here, and the ResurgLite.ZIP here.

1.05 Patch and how to fix a BIG problem - Fenix @ 6:51 PM
Well lately since the release of the 1.05 patch and that Battle.Net requires you to have it I had to download it when I logged in. O.k. so fine i got it, but it had made my multiplayer setup freeze up ever since it was installed. Now I have found out that this is not a widespread problem but it is a bad one. So these people who haven't been able to play want to know how to fix it and whats wrong. Here it is, what happened was the you got a "bad" patch, maybe corrupted, maybe just damaged in the transfer, but it was messed up some how. Mostly this happened to people who downloaded it the first night it was out. Now to fix it all you will need to do is get online and redownload it. Yes, it's that simple.
- Fenix Space Hulk - Weird Paul @ 6:50 PM

Motaro of Infoceptor is looking for people who know about Warhammer for this new conversion. Well I decided that since summer is going to be coming around soon, I wanted to start a new project. So I am going to start a new Total Conversion for Warhammer. I could really appreciate it if some people that know what warhammer is and/or you collect Wood Elves or Orcs and Goblins. I collect Wood Elves and I already got Gohr, a friend of mine, working with me that plays Orcs and Goblins, we just can use more people. I can also use some people that know how to use arsenal II pretty well. I know a good chunk of it but any help is appreciated. If you think you qualify and want to help, e-mail me here. Also remember this project won't go into full swing until this summer when school is out so I can have a lot of time for it. Sounds like a cool summer project.

I'd appreciate it if as many people as possible could download it and test it out. Right now just click on the Tileset->Load menu option and follow the next few screens after that. It will create a bitmap file on your hard drive with all of the tiles in a tileset. It is very cool to see them all there :) As I get more time this week and next, I'll be expanding the Editor's capabilities so that you can import graphics, too. You can download it here.

Sequel ?? - Fenix @ 5:08 PM
If you have been surfing Battle.Net or the Internet you may have noticed that there are rumors of a sequel for StarCraft coming out. I myself thinks if there is one it will be a while because of Diablo II. If there is acctually a sequel coming out I bet it will be great. Not only was StarCraft good, but then came Brood War. Im not sure if this rumor is true or not, but i hope it is.

More Ladder Resets - Fenix @ 2:31 PM
Battle.Net has reset even more ladder score. As long as there is a Ladder game there will always be the losers who abuse it and get reset. The "abusers" are what is making StarCraft not as fun anymore. If you know an "abuser" knock some sense into his\her head o.k.

Changes - Agelmar @ 1:02 PM
Hopefully, sometime this week, I will finish up two of the projects that I have been working on. The first is making SC:M have a smaller load time. The second is converting scmillennium.com to scmillennium.com. We have changed our name to Starcraft Millennium. Seeing as how i am almost done with converting all of the files, but not quite, you may notice that you are getting bounced around from scmillennium.com to scmillennium.com when you click a link. Do not worry. Scmillennium.com and scmillennium.com display the exact same thing, at least for now. For those of you who are wondering if Starcraft Millennium is going to stick to starcraft, the answer is no. SC:M will remain as long as people are still playing Starcraft (which will most likely be a while), but we are also working on Warcraft, Diablo 2, Quake 3, and other sections. MillenniumNet is the collective name for all of these sections, including SC:M. MillenniumNet will be moving to its own server in July, however there should be no interruptions in service. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Bots and More Bots - Fenix @ 03:59 AM
Lately since the new 1.05 patch i havent been able to play, but I have had a lot of time to play with Battle.Net bots and programs. I Have found the best bot out there. They are the Winters Bot and Topaz Chat 4.20c. The Winters bot is 1.1.6 version and it is best for moderating mostly clan channels. Topaz is more for a talking person who moves around. It has cool functions just for that, but it also has the ban, kick, etc. features just as the winters bot.

- Weird Paul Cool strategy, Check this one out - Fenix @ 12:32 AM
Well I have recently found a good strategy that works really good. This strat works mostly like faking someone out. Here it is :
1. You need to find where you are going to attack at.
2. Then make like a fake message, pretend u mispelled the /msg (i.e. /mg Fenix[CG] hey im about to Reaver drop this idiot in blue in the right hand corner of his base.)
3. Right then he should be moving his troopers back to that spot. Now attack him like i dont know maybe in the front with Dragoons and Dark Templar.
Note. This strategy sometime will not work especially if you abuse it, like use it alot. Then everyone will know of it.
Have Fun! :Þ

New campaign - Weird Paul @ 9:12 PM
I saw this at Starcraft Legacy.
It's just been one damn busy weeks for Campaign Creations, and it's only going to get busier. Do we ever have a treat for you today! Last night on the Battle.net forums, JQpanG announced the release of New Avalon II. I was so impressed by this two-map creation, that I immediately asked JQpanG to join Campaign Creations. The work is now available for download at Campaign Creations at http://creations.tech-base.com/na2_download.html I personally think this work blows away anything done in The Fenix, especially the second level. Although it is only a 2-map download, the fun factor on this is incredible, and JQpanG has spent weeks on these 2 maps crafting them meticulously detail by detail. He's done some excellent work, and I invite everyone to come share in this wonderful creation.
Sounds like a cool Campaign, check it out. =P

His tests prove that if a Zerg player combines Mutalisks and Devourers, he can dominate Protoss Air. The test reaults match the tests Infoceptor has posted a while ago and may be worth checking out. Sounds good for the Zerg player if the Protoss player doesn't harrass the Zerg early enough. =P

Some site was foolish enough to disreguard our copyright notices, and the laws behind them, and copied our layout. We are infuriated by this action. I have already notified the webmaster of the site that has copied our layout, which can be found at http://members.tripod.com/astrorangers/, and I have notified Tripod, their host, that if they do not remove the layout within 72 hours I will be filing a legal suit against both the webmaster of Astro Rangers, and Tripod. I have notified Tripod of this incident as well, via email. If decisive action has not been taken by this time tomorrow, I intend to actually CALL tripod and get this resolved ASAP. Copyright infringement is a serious thing, not to be taken lightly. To any of you out there who are thinking of copying ANY material off of SC:M, or any other page for that matter, without the express consent of the webmaster, should seriously reconsider. You just might be messing with the wrong guy, like the webmaster of Astro Rangers is.

As a lot of you may have noticed, I have been 'gone' for a while. This is not because I do not care or anything like that, it is the exact opposite. I had a family problem, so I was gone for April 6-12, or whatever it was. Also, I am working on q3millennium.com, d2millennium.com, wcmillennium.com, and am converting all of the files from scmillennium.com to scmillennium.com! If you need to contact me, EMAIL ME, or if you are one of the lucky ones who I have authorized on ICQ, ICQ ME!

Check this out: Camelot Systems is proud to announce a brand new feature at our website:
Programming Tutorials. Previously we had offered source code for some of our programs in the hope that people interested in developing their own editors would be able to learn from them. However, open source proved to be pretty useless because most of our programs are pretty complex. So Merlin and I have decided to start creating tutorials to help people interested in learning the tricks of our trade. I've just finished up the first day's worth of tutorials for Game Editor Programming, and Merlin should be finished with the first set of tutorials for Windows Programming in a day or two.

Campaign Goodies - Squaredot @ 4:49 PM
Check out this letter I got from Desler Now available for download at Campaign Creations (http://creations.tech-base.com/): The Fenix Soundtrack, which is complete with every song used from The Fenix in full MP3 glory. Also now available is the Multiplayer Enhancement Pack, which will give you new backgrounds for briefing rooms, victory, and defeat screens for all 3 races. Included are some screens used in The Fenix, as well as all new screens. These will not desync your game, so you can use them to play on battle.net. For those tired of seeing the same thing every time they win (or lose), this is definitely the thing for you. Sounds like some niffty stuff - go check it out!

- Squaredot Not starcraft related but... - Mr. Insano @ 5:29 PM
Really Cool. I have found a really cool browser that takes advantage of new module technology, to makes the skin of your browser look awesome. Its called Neo-Planet, and it uses your current default browser to display the page. So you can download the browser in about 4 minutes, and still use IE 5's awesome capabilities. You can choose between about 20 different skins to use that are in my opinion very cool. I will be uploading a screen shot of my browser in a second, which you can take a look at here. If you would like to download this browser you can visit their site here.
- Mr. Insano New scm section at Shafe.com - Squaredot @ 08:38 AM
A new SCM of the moment section is now operational at Shafe's Starcraft Source. From just a glance at the map it looks like it would be nice to play on - but what do I know, I'm just a news guy =p. The simulator area known as "Duelist's Edge" has long been a part of the Umojan Combat Officer Training Programme. Many internal student competitions have since been fought on the map, and Umojan Command (PR division) recently authorised a public release. A rating system has also been added right below the map, so you can check out how good they think it is. Check out Shafe's page here, or directly download the map (entilted Duelist's Edge / 2 Players) right here.

This is a sad announcement for anyone who uses the X-Force Server:
Again, I'm sorry to leave you stranded so suddenly, but life's dealt hand apparently does not always work in favour of what you'd like it to be. I may occasionally come visit, but other than that it's time to pass on the reigns.
Good gaming,

All I have to say is good luck General_Bob in whatever you do in life.
Read the full story at Outpost 13.
P.S. I am almost ready with the new TOTW and MOTW, I am doing something with them... so be on the lookout. The Map-Specific Strategies are coming along well, as I am on to the 3 player maps now.

My views. - Overlord @ 11:04 PM
Yes you read right MY views :) Anyway I just wanted to make this "rant" about two things that have happened in the past week. 1. I just read Lockeye's ROAP and I must say that I agree with him 100%! Infact 2 days ago I was going through my daily routine of sc sites while my 7 year old cousin looked on. I went to simplecraft and one of the logo's popped up that I hadn't seen for a while so I stopped and took a quick look. (the one that says "Come gaze at out big, voluptuous, ..strategies..") anyway my cousin saw it and he didn't give a rats a**! All he said was "hurry up I wanna play sc!"Even my 58 year old step dad thinks they are funny! He saw the one about "premature evacuation" and nearly busted a gut! So to gunnez you are full of "it" and to Dr.Lego and the rest of the Simple.Craft team keep up the GREAT work!
2. The april fools prank made by starcraft.org. First of all it was april fools! Duh you should be expecting pranks on April 1st. And secondly instead of crying that battle.net is down why not pop your sc or bw cd in your cdrom drive and try it out!! sheesh!

- Overlord Additional Simple.Craft info - Squaredot @ 09:48 AM
Here is a copy of the post Omen has made about the problems you might be experiencing at Simple.Craft. I finally found a shell with ip tracing abilities active (I'm at school) and did a bit of poking around. It seems the reason some people can access this site and others are are because routers are pointing to different places. Simple.craft is currently hosted on the Gamesmania server where as some routers are refering users to Blizzard Games our original host who has decided to come back which is why you will see the BGames screen. We haven't been informed of what is going on with the final location of s.c but hopefully this will be sorted out quickly. Some users may find that http://simplecraft.com points here but including the www will take you to BGames, it's a temporary fix but I know alot of you can't get enough of a good thing. ;) I'm sure glad that's all resolved. =]
- Squaredot Simple.Craft sorta back up - Squaredot @ 09:08 AM
If you went to Simple.Craft yesterday, then you probably noticed how their site wasn't even up =]. Their index was replaced with a Blizzard Games Network logo. Well, I'm happy to report that Simple.Craft is back up, at least partially anyway -- I'm not sure if their news CGI is functioning correctly. Lets hope they get everything situated soon!

Blizzard miscalculation - Squaredot @ 5:40 PM
W00ps. Seems that some Battle.net servers have not given blizzard totally acurate information about people on the ladder. Blizzard is fixing the problem and will announce the REAL winners on the ladder very soon. It has come to our attention that the preliminary ladder rankings for StarCraft as well as the StarCraft: Brood War tournament announced last night did not accurately represent the season's final standings. We have discovered that some Battle.net servers were not in synch, which has led to the omission of some top players. We are currently consolidating information from all the servers in order to calculate the top players. We know everyone in the StarCraft community is anxious to know the results, and we will announce the finalists as soon as possible. Will be interesting to see who got left out of the ladder race...

New Campain. Will it be good ? - Mr. Insano @ 10:41 PM
Ok, I was digging through my email and found this from J. GREENWOOD.
Alright, first off this has nothing to do w/ protoss explorers. I have been in contact with MTROUT we talked here and there, and well, I have something I am starting on. It's called THE CHRONICLES RPG. It's a starcraft campaign RPG *yes you read that right* A preivew should be out really soon just as soon as Desler and Auspex get it first.:) Anyway the CHRONICLES RPG has all the elemnts of a SC RPG *to a point* but as a movie kind of campaign. At the moment all work is being sekteched. I have no staff, nothing. I want to get this out. There just basicly cutscene mission to give u a feel of what it will be like. Once some staff is together I will release a demo asap. I am doing this because many people hated my work in the past. I will not release to much info about the storyline as it will be shown to you in the preview. Please stay tuned.
My question is, with all these new campains being realeased, will it get really old really quick ? Not to put down Desler at all, because the Fenix was just plain awesome. But this is the 9th one announced this month, and thats only the bigger ones. Sometime or another we will get tired of campains, and i really hope it isn't soon.

More strats at Simple.Craft - Squaredot @ 5:41 PM
I have to admit, I was going to put down Starshack instead of Simple.Craft. Simple.Craft has really been pumping out the strats lately. Keep it up! The first strat is just a general BW strategy dealing with detection. That can be viewed here. The second two are Protoss Strategies. The first involves Gateway Madness(many gateways). The second deals with Corsairs and Goons. That can be read right here.

- Squaredot More campaign news from the front lines - Squaredot @ 5:09 PM
Just got this email from Desler. "While Sharandar works on his campaign, "The Reclaimation of Aiur," I have started my newest project entitled, "E.D.A.S.T." With the hero profiles drawn up, I have a good idea of the type of voices I'm going to need, but I'm looking for talented people to submit their voice samples to me. The Fenix was huge and very successful. Now's your chanced to be a part of my next campaign, which will exceed anything you saw in The Fenix. For full details, check out "Campaign Creations."
- Squaredot BIG changes here at SC:M - I mean BIG - Agelmar @ 4:44 PM
Well, here is the scoop: SC:M is changing its name (not too much though). As you know, our current name is Starcraft Millennium. Well, we origionally spelled millennium wrong to make it look cool, and I mean hey - it's a new millennium! However, this has and is confusing many people. Due to this, we are changing our name to Starcraft Millennium (Spelling 'millennium' correctly). scmillennium.com already works (at least for me it does. It might take a day or two for it to filter down to all of the ISP's, but oh well). SCMillennium.com will continue to work for at least until August of 2000, at which time we will see. All of the pages are in the process of being converted (the title, the links, and all references to our name). This is a major project, and most likely will not be completed until Thursday. All of our @scmillennium.com emails will continue to work until August of 2000, at least, and we will be adding support for @scmillennium.com during the week. Spread the news, and enjoy.
P.S. During NO TIME will SC:M be down due to this. scmillennium.com and all of the pages under it WILL WORK, and soon scmillennium.com and all of the pages under *it* will work as well. For example - scmillennium.com/blah.html and scmillennium.com/blah.html display the SAME THING. So there will be no problem. Some pages will be converted sooner than others, but this will not matter. The addresses scmillennium.com and scmillennium.com are interchangeable. Enjoy the new SC:M!
P.P.S. wcmillennium.com (our Warcraft site that will cover War2 Platinum and War3), q3millennium.com (for Quake3), and d2millennium.com (for Diablo 2) are making good progress. They should be up in a matter of months (probably mid may.)
- Agelmar ISL needs more staff - Squaredot @ 08:46 AM
The ISL is currently looking for more staff members to try and make the league run smoother than a babies bottom :).

This will be no more, we are accepting job applications for the following positions: - Referees
- Referees / Battle Reporters
- Major Site Representatives
- Article Writers
- Editorial Writers
- Interviewers
- Player Spotlighters / Analysts
For any of the jobs listed above, there are no "strict" qualifications needed, you must only have an interest in sports/leagues and the time available to do your job effectively (1/2 hours per week). I will be accepting all applications a lockeye@simplecraft.com . If you are interested in holding a position in the ISL next season, be sure to email Lockeye right away.
