I’m the developer of the game engine for OpenBW. I’ve been writing a bot/AI for StarCraft: Brood War for a while now, and I started the OpenBW project because working with the original game for purposes of machine learning or running automated games is quite difficult. The existing solutions scale poorly and are not portable.

I'm new here, so I can only presume how things run around here based on the handful of threads I've seen and the amazingly well-written commandments, but this community does not seem like one that would either:ġ.) Leave an OP offering malicious software open. In fact, since my post describing the tragic events that had, at some point, befallen me, none of you have even responded to the content of the OP and have continued to circle-jerk in what you guys seem to have misinterpreted as a naughty joke. It disappoints me that, while I did bring up a legitimate concern, nobody has so much as given the time of day to what could potentially be a wonderful resource to those peoples in the community that uses Linux and can't get BW to work properly for the life of them. I find BroodWar works well for me under Linux. The worst (or best) you can really say is that your mileage may vary.

There are so many factors that can affect the performance (your operating system, graphics card, driver versions library versions, what Wine registry entries you use, what version of wine you use - there are still bugs being inserted and removed that affect Starcraft performance) that saying a sweeping generalisation like 'Starcraft runs in wine like shit' is almost certainly going to be wrong.

I was happily playing BW on iCCUp (badly) right until Starcraft 2 came out.

I have to say, after a little bit of registry tweaking and the like, Starcraft BroodWar ran almost perfectly for me, except that the Battlenet menus were messed up somewhat (and even then, there was a patch that could make a fix of sorts for that). Instead I left some space for my windows partition, and happily dualboot.īut still thanks, I will keep in it in mind. I doubt that you will be able to play your games in battlenet, I didn't try anyway, cause Starcarft runs in wine like chit,its choppy and slow, widescreen users will play a widescreen starcraft, that should be configured separately, well all in all its a Pain in the ass, so I never bother to setup any games under Linux except for textmode quests.

Starcraft runs on Linux without any tricks, just install wine or play on linux. I have almost not tested them, so things might not work as they should. I don't think it'll work on bnet, but may do the trick for quick LAN skirmishes. It has a minimal wine installation inside, so you should not need to have anything installed on the machine to run it, besides fuse so the executable can mount itself (which is almost always already installed). The files are both an ELF executable AND an ISO image, so you can chmod u+x it and run it, or fuseiso it and mount it. It's a portable version of Starcraft for Linux. I thought some of you guys might enjoy this. It's been created using "AppImageAssistant 0.8" from, and you can find the source code in (looks outdated, though)Īlternatively, just burn some live USB using and run starcraft on a read-only operative system that way you'll be safe from any harm on the internets Then, there's only the ELF itself, which I'm not sure where it exactly comes from. #4 Hm, to confirm it's legit, you could mount the ISO images, go to drive_c/blahblahblah and confirm the md5 of the files in the Starcraft installation is the same as the ones in the ICC and monikon version (I got them in an old 2009 thread here, but the ICC is updated, so the Launcher.exe will be different)īesides, the only other files that are run when the package is executed, are the AppRun, which is a bash script that creates ~/.starcraft/ and runs "wine Starcraft.exe", and wine itself, which is a minimal version of the latest wine I downloaded from ubuntu repositories (wine1.3_1.3.4-0ubuntu1~lucidppa1_i386) you can md5 all the binaries and libraries.
