Welcome to the SC2plusSCBW!

This project aims to add the traditional StarCraft: BroodWar units, heroes and structures into StarCraft 2.

Hasnt this been done before?

Well yes, sort of. There are project like StarCraft: Mass Recall which aim to remake SC:BW. SC:MR focus more into recreating the original campaigns however, and rewrites several StarCraft 2 units in the process, making impossible to have regular SC2 and SC:BW units working together.

The aim of this project is a bit more modest in goal, while no less taxing to develop. It aims to be rather a flexible framework for other authors and developers to build upon. It will not have another remake of the original campaigns, but rather only the units and structures from the original game, adding them as standalone entities, allowing them to be used in a variety of contexts: you can have a single map have a scene that occurs in during the SC:BW era with accurate tech and then do a timeskip to SC2 without any technical conflict.

What will this include?

The first and foremost goal will be to create all the relevant entities into the data module, and importing all the relevant sound assets and place them into sanitized directories. The more technical requirements will be discussed in the Low-level Design page.
