│ Game Notes & Crack Information │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ │
│ BATTLE.NET IS NOT SUPPORTED IN OUR RELEASE...PLEASE READ BELOW FOR │
│ IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING WHY, AND IMPORTANT INSTALL NOTES!! │
│ │
│ Yes folks, the game you've all been waiting for is now here. Starcraft │
│ is definately worth the wait, and if your reading this now, your wasting │
│ precious time. This is no April Fool's joke...it is all real. │
│ │
│ (back of the box hype) │
│ │
│ * THREE UNIQUE ALIEN SPECIES │
│ │
│ - Whether you command the nomadic Terran, mysterious Protoss, or │
│ voracious Zerg, you must devise totally unique strategies to master │
│ the specilized units, abilities, and technologies of each. │
│ │
│ * MULTIPLE THEATRES OF BATTLE │
│ │
│ - Engage in a deadly mix of space combat, planetary assault, and covert │
│ base infiltration. Command Ghost Espionage Agents, Wraith Stealth │
│ Fighters, Protoss High Templars, and Zerg Defilers as you seek to │
│ conquer the galaxy. │
│ │
│ * REVOLUTIONARY SPECIAL EFFECTS │
│ │
│ - Real time light sourcing, true line of sight, and an advanced │
│ translucency engine combine for incredible visual effects and │
│ unparalelled tactical realism. │
│ │
│ * INTENSE INTERNET COMPETITION │
│ │
│ - Challenge people worldwide for FREE using your modem, or LAN │
│ and over the internet using KALI or a suitable IPX emulator. │
│ (NOTE THAT THIS RELEASE DOES NOT SUPPORT BATTLE.NET!!!) │
│ │

│ │
│ - Construct individual missions or entire campaigns with unrivaled │
│ ease! Set victory conditions, customize speech and sound, and │

│ running group EVER - RAZOR NINETEEN ELEVEN! (1985 - 1998 AND BEYOND) │
│ │
│ Toast - RAZOR 1911 │
│ │
│ Installation & Rip Information │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ Ripped: Over 400M of movies, music and speech. For Christ's sake people, │
│ if you like this game BUY IT! Blizzard deserves it... │
│ │
│ To install the game, simply unzip all the files into a temporary │
│ directory, make a directory to hold the game in (e.g. C:\STAR), then │
│ un-RAR the game into that directory: │
│ │
│ unrar x -v -y starcrft.001 c:\star │
│ │
│ After the game is decompressed, run SETUP.EXE in that directory to │
│ configure your registry settings, then run SC.EXE to play! │
│ │
│ ***SPECIAL NOTE*** │
│ │
│ To run the game using a special "virtual patch" crack that leaves all │
│ of the executables untouched (and therefore less likely to cause CRC │
│ problems) run the game using SC.EXE. Do NOT just run Starcraft.exe, as │
│ it has not been patched. I have used this loader mechanism in the hopes │
│ that a battle.net key generator can be coded in the future, as a │
│ "virgin" copy of the executables is essential to battle.net play. │
│ │
│ If you have a weird setup, or something that just causes my loader to │
│ not work, then I have included a workaround. Run SC-PATCH.EXE to │
│ hard patch the game, after which you can use Starcraft.exe to play. │
│ The down-side to this is that battle.net play will be impossible, │
│ even with a future key-generator. Use SC.EXE if at all possible. │
│ │
│ DO NOT RUN SC-PATCH.EXE UNLESS SC.EXE DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU!!!! │
│ │
│ Cracking Notes/Comments │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ Well, what can I say. This has got to be one of the hardest titles I │
│ have ever ripped. The crack was trivial, but ripping this game involved │
│ understanding and coding utilities for Blizzard's MoPaQ file packer. MPQ │
│ (as it is better known as) is a complex file packaging/indexing system │
│ that combines one-way hash tables for file lookup, encryption on files │
│ and indexes, custom tuned compression code...a veritable nightmare. │
│ │
│ The game originally came shipped with a 600M INSTALL.EXE file (really │
│ an installer stub + giant MPQ file), and this was the file that had to │
│ be ripped apart. Needless to say, I think I have done it...it was a LOT │
│ of work, and I tested this as much as humanly possible, so I hope you │
│ all enjoy it. If you have any problems with this crack, please let me │
│ know via IRC in #razor...I'm never claim to be perfect. =) │
│ │
│ As for BATTLE.NET support, I have decided after much analysis and talk │
│ with other respected crackers, that it cannot be done without some MAJOR │
│ coding. All Starcraft CD's came bundled with a unique CD-Key that is │
│ embedded in the STARDAT.MPQ file on install. Each user on BATTLE.NET │
│ must meet two important requirements: (a) they have a unique CD-Key and │
│ (b) their executables (and DLLs) are untouched. It is theoretically │
│ possible to create a generator for these CD-Keys after collecting a │
│ bunch of codes, but that is only half the battle...you then have to │
│ generate a random valid code, and insert it into the STARDAT.MPQ. Much │
│ easier said than done. I did code the crack for this game in a loader │
│ format to allow for a future generator to be "plugged in". │
│ │
│ Once again, I *MAY* code a generator for this depending on how feasible │
│ I think it is, but it will take time. Do not harrass me...I will do what │
│ I can. Just use KALI or a similar IPX emulator to play via Internet for │
│ now, and if you REALLY have to play battle.net, buy the game. │
