[edit] Inclusion in Blizzard Entertainment footer

• I really don't think this belongs in the footer box at the bottom of other Blizzard game articles - it's not even found on Blizzard's page. It's a third party lacklustre expansion, not unlike D!Zone and the like for Doom. I am going to cut it from those things along with Retribution unless someone has a good reason they should stay.

Hmm. Both the Insurrection and the Retribution add-on campaigns are, in fact, mentioned in Blizzard's official Battle.Net FAQ for StarCraft. The FAQ states that there are three official add-ons for StarCraft, of which Brood War is one. The two others are, you guessed it, Retribution and Insurrection. It doesn't change the fact that both these second party products suck dog, though. --Tirolion 19:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

They are not created by Blizzard and thus should not be included in the footer, same with Hellfire which was an endorsed add-on but not created by Blizzard --Fogeltje 19:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, alright. I fail to see the logic, tho. Stuff from the various novels of toilet quality is included, isn't it? Be that as it may, seeing as the Starcraft Universe is one giant convoluted mess of incoherent non sequiturs, I really do fail to see what is and what isn't considered "worthy of inclusion". Perhaps some general guidelines? Are only in-game references to be considered? Oh, by the by, the Battle.Net FAQ mentioning the add-ons is here, btw. --Tirolion 09:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Installation problems

I think there should be some information about the installation procedure.

The installer reads from the file %windir%\scunin.dat to determine where StarCraft is installed, this is a problem for people who has copied their copy of StarCraft from another computer.

After the installer has read from the file and determined where StarCraft resides, it creates the file %windir%\Insurrec.ini with info, if this file is present when you run the installer, %windir%\scunin.dat is not needed.

Therefore, I think we should provide a sample of that file in the article (Note: scunin.dat is not easily edited).

Here is a sample:

[Nexus Insurrection Ver 1.4]
[Paths]
CD=F:\
StarCraft=e:\games\starcraft\
LinkPath=e:\documents and settings\all users\start-meny\program\starcraft\

[edit] Blizzard endorsement

Any sources indicating that Blizzard endorsed this product (other than claims by the product makers themselves)?

[edit] New Stuff

any new units?
