It turns out that in our Animation class, we'll be taking the midterm on Thursday instead of on Friday. So on Friday, we get to pretty much do whatever. Which means...
So, I, as a Korean, decided to bring Starcraft on my flash drive and impose classic Starcraftness (meaning, NOT Starcraft 2) on my fellow classmates.
But the thing is...
I don't have 8 cd keys...
So, I decided to use spawn, and searched the forums and found this helpful guy telling someone how to get to the original install window (for those of you that don't know, rename Starcraft.mpq in your installation folder to starcraft.exe and run it -- big thanks to whoever posted this).
But the problem is...
The original installation...
wants a 13 DIGIT CD KEY!!!!
And...
I LOST MY 13 DIGIT CD CASE! (Wait, I think I remember giving it to my friend)
But see, Blizzard is a pretty nifty and helpful company, and helped people like me who lose stuff all the time by letting us turn a 13 digit key into a 26 digit key and download Starcraft from anywhere.
But see...
I need to turn this 26 digit key...
BACK.
To a 13 digit key.
Okay, sorry for the stupid overexplanation and overuse of the enter and period key. I was just bored, mmkay?
But seriously, help. Starcraft. Serious business here, folks.
Go to battle.net in your internet browser and log in, then download the digital version of starcraft. Now download the digital version on all of your friend's computer and use the same digital key blizzard gave you, trust me, it works. Now the thing is, you all can't play over Battle.net servers. BUT you can play over LAN because it isn't like someone is in canada and another is in germany. I'm assuming they live somewhere close to you or can go to your house.
BTW when you play with them, its their first time, so dont squish them too easily or fast or they will think the game is dumb and they loose all the time

If you want to play SC with friends in same class it would be MUCH faster to just copy installed SC folder to theirs PCs rather than downloading, installing, etc... You do not need to install SC at the same machine at which you want to play... I for example have my SC on pen-drive all the time and can run it (and even access Battle.net) whenever I want ;x
