About this mod

Follow Sarah Kerrigan on her new journey as she and her brood wreck havoc on the Warcraft III timeline.
All Zerg from StarCraft: Brood War are available. Their stats have been adjusted in order to play nice against the War3 races, but their functionality remains intact.

INSTALLATION
-----------------------
  • Requires Warcraft III version 1.28 or 1.29
  • Some old versions of War3 have a bug where your single-player progress can be lost. Get this registry fix from Hive to prevent this.
  • Copy War3Mod.MPQ into the Warcraft III directory. If you already have one in there, back it up first.
  • Copy ZergCampaign.w3n into Documents/Warcraft III/Campaigns.
  • Run Warcraft III. Make sure all graphics settings (Options -> Video) are set to High.
  • From the main menu, Single Player -> Custom Campaign -> Zerg Campaign.

This project began by combining the efforts two ill-fated StarCraft-themed projects in an effort to fully realize the Zerg in Warcraft III.

Warcraft vs Starcraft was used a base for core Zerg functionality, such as Creep, and how units are produced via Larva, as well as for its UI textures.

Assets were then imported from Project Revolution, because I prefer Brood War over StarCraft II. They weren't 100% complete, and I had to add sounds to them, but they look the part well enough.

Afterwards I went to work on getting all Zerg units and their abilities from StarCraft: Brood War faithfully represented in War3.

PLAY AS ZERG ON MELEE MAPS
-------------
Select 'Night Elf' and set handicap to 90%.
Note that Computer players will currently not play as Zerg.
Also, maps that run unusual triggers at the start may prevent creep (and therefor Larvae) from spawning properly. If this happens, modify it or
pick a more normal map.

MULTIPLAYER
-------------
You can play with other players who are using the same version of war3 and the included War3Mod.MPQ.
The easiest way is through Eurobattle.net ( https://eurobattle.net/ ), since it supports War3 1.28.
When you wish to play with other people who are not using this mod, be sure to disable it by renaming War3Mod.MPQ to something else.

WORLD EDITOR
-------------
All units found in the Zerg Campaign are available in the World Editor.

KNOWN ISSUES
-------------
- As with all custom campaigns, when clicking 'Continue' after completing a level, the difficulty will change to whatever difficulty you last selected on the Blizzard War3 campaigns, regardless of the difficulty setting you chose when starting the Zerg Campaign. Be sure the difficulty setting in Single Player -> Campaign is the one you want.
- Queen's Parasite cannot target Cyclone'd units.
- Zerg ready sounds will play even if you have 'Unit Responses' turned off.
- Zerglings and Defilers can't be clicked on while burrowed. Their burrow hole also persists for a while when killed while burrowed.
- Nydus Canal and Defiler Mound models lack team color. 
- Spiked Barricades does not appear correctly on Lair or Hive, although it will still damage enemies.
