Starcraft v1.2a

Gary13579 | April 23, 2006

Update: Starcraft has quickly been updated to version 1.2a - the download link below has been changed to reflect the most recent version. Enjoy!


Among all of the less popular Lua games, every now and then one comes that looks amazing. This is that game.
This is a clone of the popular RTS (Real Time Strategy) game Starcraft, which is one of the most popular of it’s kind along with Warcraft. It is being worked on for the PSP by Kid101skater, Idkfawin32, psp333, and butterballer360.

2006-04-23 04:02:13

actually, you just need to convert the eboot useing the no-kxploit or the seipsptools. unfortunatley it’s not prepackaged for convinence. And don’t get your hopes up, the holything you can do is move the guy around.

Dear god, I’ve waited for this day… PLEASE, make it WiFi playable. This could be the greatest release on PSP to date.

2006-04-23 08:49:38

Actually you guys should have made an emulator for the real PC starcraft game files…
what i mean is that we need something like doom-psp or scummvm or OpenTTD .. that would make everyone happy.. to see the actual game running on the PSP.

will this work for for the eloader?

 
Comment by eaglebaize
2006-04-23 12:19:46

I don’t think LUA player works with the eloader. Too bad I had to upgrade from 1.5fw before the UMD loader for 2.0fw games came out. Also, by then I got an awesome game but it made me upgrade to 2.5fw It is with a heavy heart that I must say that someday, unless fanjita and other hackers keep up the good work with eloaders, many of us will have to say goodbye to homebrew forever… :(

So this is just a “oh hey look what we are doing” type thing?…dang…i almost pissed myself too…well great work! but ill diffenatly be waiting for the full version…and it says on fanjita’s list that lua player works with 2.01+ so i would download it and try it out…

Hey 24 you’re wrong, lua player works fine.

I was never a big fan of Starcraft, but awesome job anyway. Good luck!

Thats pretty 1337, But I don’t like RTS. But it’s pretty good for those who love them. This is nice.

I don’t mean to be pessimistic, but I wonder how far they can get using LUA.

But all in all, I can’t wait. I am a fan of starcraft =)

For f**k sakes… PLEASE, PEOPLE, DO A LITTLE RESEARCH instead of asking “how do I install this? Does it work on 2.6??” over and over again. Download from the link. Uncompress. Put “starcraftpsp” folder in MS0:/PSP/GAME/ - Launch GTA:LCS+eLoader and see. EVERYTHING goes in /PSP/Game at this point.

Nice work, but this is more a 0.2a than a 1.2a.

 
Comment by poopsmith3000
2006-04-23 22:05:28

Lua, while a great and easy language to use, has limitations that won’t allow for the complex A.I. needed in this game. (well, technically it could, but not without serious lag) This is a good proof of concept to expand the limitations of what is done on lua thou, and far beyond what I could do. So i guess i’m saying, good work man.

#27 he didn’t ask where you download it from he asked where you download it to… Big difference.

okey, heres what i got. my psp is 2.01
using GTA (alternate super bock)
i also put luaplayer .16

1)put all 3 starcraft folders into games. run gta, i get 3 options.
a)luaplayer .16
b)starcraft psp 1.2a
c)starcraft psp 1.2#KX (??)

i run (b) and i get the title screen and everything running. once into actual gameplay, scv follows the curser, goes ontop of minerals, etc. cant do shit there. i run (c), i get the exact same thing. when i run (a) i looked around, ran all the .lua files and the closest ive got to was the exact same thing as (b)and(c).

._. maybe its still beta…

the cursor should move about 4x faster and use R to make it go slow for fine mouse conrtol

looking pretty good so far keep it up!

#27, phil, Stfu, its not like everyone here has done these things before, i hit download already retard, i just asked where to download it to, so before being a complete moron an dscreaming at people, understand not everyone is perfect with this

I agree with all previous posts that mention warcraft, we need a port of this. Starcraft is indeed a much better game, but Warcraft II would likely be more solid because of the simplicity of it compared to Starcraft. Besides, i’m better at Warcraft II.

#56: What did you think exactly? It was the full working game as the PCversion? So why do you think it says v1.2a ? Some secret password?
Really, you are crap.

However, Im not a big fan to starcraft, but this looks promise, maybe this homwbrew will convince more people which didnt like it on PC.

You’re all dumb… you can’t write Starcraft in Lua… not in a million years. It will never run. Now if you write it in C on the other hand. Right now this is a simply click and move bitmap image in Lua. Even a retard could program it. This project will never go anywhere unless the coders use the Starcraft code, clean it up, and write in C for God’s sake.

It’s a good idea. They need to go in the right direction however.
