//* ZERG CAMPAIGN / STARCRAFT CROSSOVER MOD README
//*
//***************************************************************************

INSTALLATION
-------------
1. Make sure you have a copy of Warcraft III version 1.28 or 1.29.
2. Download and run this registry fix, otherwise campaign progress may be lost: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/attachments/sp-profile-fix-zip.325164/
3. Copy War3Mod.MPQ into the folder where War3 is installed. If you already have a different mod in there, back it up first.
4. Copy ZergCampaign.w3n into Documents/Warcraft III/Campaigns.
5. Run Warcraft III. Single Player -> Custom Campaign -> Zerg Campaign.
6. If the game crashes when trying to run the campaign, make sure Warcraft 3's graphic settings (Options -> Video) are all on High. If the crash persists, try navigating to the blizzard wc3 campaign screen (Single Player -> Campaign) first and then try again.

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.
