StarCraft Mods
StarCraft is one of the first of Blizzard games to contain a map editing program: StarEdit. While StarEdit lets you change a number of things about the units and design maps, it cannot change a lot more. This is where StarCraft mods come in. A mod is a modification of the game, allowing the creator of it to change almost anything in the game. There are many mods for games, some of them even better than the original due to the hard work put into them.
We support our creative fellow players, and we want to share their work. So below you will find a table that has all the mods we carry on this site. We also are providing Mod Making programs in case you need them or become inspired by the work done by these players.
The tables below have many downloads, and we’ve organized them by alphabetical order. We’ve given credit to those who sent in things in the past, and if we didn’t have anyone listed before we gave credit to the person who made it.
StarCraft/StarCraft Brood War Mod: A CWAD or .exe file that you can run or load. These are playable modifications of StarCraft and or Brood War.
Mod Making Tools: Programs that will allow you to create your own mods.
The required version is very important. StarCraft mods will not work unless you are using the proper version of StarCraft, so make sure you have your CD for StarCraft and Brood War, and your CD Key for StarCraft (Don’t forget, Brood War didn’t come with one). Uninstall your Starcraft and reinstall it, then download the proper patch to use the mods listed below.
You may want to check out the SCDowngrader by FaRTY1billion download in the Mod Making Tools section. It should let you downgrade to the version of StarCraft you want to use to play a mod without having to uninstall StarCraft. Perfect for people who have lost their CD Key or are too busy to go through all that.
Finally, we have tried to get information on the required versions of these mods and a better description, but since this game is so old, and so are a lot of these mods, it becomes very difficult to find such information. We will give you credit for any information you can send to us on the forums to help us with the required version or better information about the mod.
