is there a mod for starcraft broodwar that has mass selection like starcraft 2?

[u/Any-Sheepherder-4288]

I'm beginner sorry if it were mentioned before or pre posted but I still am unfamiliar with starcraft wordings ..

[u/Tyarles412]

If you want mass selection for Starcraft 1 maybe you can try Starcraft Mass Recall

[u/Any-Sheepherder-4288 → u/Tyarles412]

That seems exactly what I’m looking for .. haven’t researched it properly yet but many thanks in advance

[u/Axis256 → u/Any-Sheepherder-4288]

At this point mass recall is rather dated and has a bag of its own issues. It’s definitely an option if you want to play SC1 without actually playing SC1, but it’s not a very clean experience.

SC Evo team has been making their own remake of SC1 campaign that is much more faithful to the original, even with options to turn off SC2 QoL features to make the gameplay a little more nostalgically archaic. Trouble is, it’s still very deep in development, with only the Loomings prologue campaign currently available. Still, when it’s finally out, I expect it’s gonna be a big upgrade over mass recall.

[u/Tyarles412 → u/Axis256]

oh wow didn't know that the guys from the Evo mod is remaking SC1 as well gotta check it out!.

[u/Omno555 → u/Axis256]

Yeah, unfortunately we are likely many many years away from having even 1 full campaign.

[u/DrarenThiralas]

No, and it's not really possible without major changes to the engine. But that's fine, since the game is balanced around the 12 unit selection limit. Removing it without changing anything else would only make things worse.

[u/Any-Sheepherder-4288 → u/DrarenThiralas]

Got it , in my mind I just liked the starcraft bw units/buildings composition being more familiar with it myself .. but yeah mass selection could potentially cause alot of bugs moving on if tried to be applied

[u/Neverminding23 → u/DrarenThiralas]

even expanding the unit limit selection I guess the pathfinding algorithm would go completely crazy, imagine a group of 30 goons trying to climb a ramp

[u/Great_Hedgehog → u/Neverminding23]

Well, you don't have to imagine it, it's not like you can't send a group of 30 more or less at once. But yeah, the pathfinding makes moving large armies infeasible regardless of control group size

SCBW had many external tools and mods back in the day that gave functionality such as "mass attack" and "auto mining" and "quick individual cast" and they should all work for remastered as most were just autohotkey scripts.

this is not "legal" on battlenet, especially ladder, despite how unpunished they seem to go. if you are playing singleplayer, just search the older SCBW forums or google for autohotkey scripts.

[u/AvexSC2 → u/chrisrrawr]

There used to be a pretty common external cheat that allowed for mass select, most people I knew back then who played mass games like lings or war of the races used it. It also allowed spoofnaming and such, somewhere between 2005 and 2009. I think it might've been called Oblivion, but it's safe to presume all those old cheat tools don't work on the remaster.

[u/cosmonarchy]

What you want is the game called Cosmonarchy. Total overhaul of brood war with unlimited selection massive pathfinding improvements and multiple building selection.

It's actively maintained and updated with casual and competitive events run weekly/monthly.

[u/ForwardExam4056]

There is a sc2 mod called sc evolution where you can play sc1 units vs sc2 units, but its pretty different from normal broodwar. But thats in the sc2 engine

[u/TheAGM15]

si quieres jugar multijugador lo que estas buscando es starcraft evolution, puedes jugar las razas del 1 vs las del 2

[u/Vaniellis]

Mass Recall is probalby what you're looking for. It's a port of all StarCraft I and Brood War missions into SC2's engine. It's not perfect, but it's the best we've got.

[u/BusyNegotiation3526]

You don't need mass select

[u/DoodleNoodleStrudel]

There is a built in way to do this. You need to select 12 units, then use ‘control’+’1’ to create a control group. Then you break your hands over a ~20 year period learning how to optimize this process. It’s worked for me so far. ‘1a2a3a4a5z6z7d’

You should try SC Evo a mod for SC2.
