StarCraft: Mass Recall contains 68 maps, 59 from the original StarCraft/Brood War game, 3 that were hidden or deleted on various StarCraft supports, and 6 from the 1998 demo campaign.

FRIENDLY DISCLAIMER: This Mod and all campaign files are free. This means, all who work on Mass Recall are putting their free time into an incredibly comprehensive remaster of all of StarCraft and Brood War, including entirely new custom campaigns such as the Stukov Series and Enslavers Redux. Thus, there should be absolutely no expectations that bug fixes or new features will be released in any sort of timely manner. This is a "we'll get to it when we get to it" situation. Please be aware the modders here have work lives, family lives, and simply do not have the energy to maintain a lively work cycle to keep the Mod 100% up to date. We do promise we will release updates when we feel they are ready to be released. We hope that you understand our position on this.

Installation
“Uh... how do you work this damn thing?” – Marine
Auto-Installation
(for Windows, if you're using Mac follow the manual installation guide below)
For a fresh auto-install please carefully follow these steps:
1. Download the SCMR installer and the required files (see the "Downloads" section above).
2. Move all downloaded ZIP-Files and unzip the installer to your StarCraft II installation directory. The default path to it is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\".
3. Run the installer.
4. After SCMR is successfully installed, use the shortcut on your Desktop to run SCMR.
Auto install video guide by DeltronLive
Note that this is for an older version, just make sure you have all the latest required files specified in the "Downloads" section above, otherwise the process is the same.
Manual Installation
If auto-install fails and/or you would like to manually install SCMR, please carefully follow these steps:
1. Download the required file sets (see the "Downloads" section above). For StarCraft: Mass Recall to work properly you need to download the Campaign Maps - that are bundled with the Main Mod (SCMRmod) and a "dummy" Cinematics Mod (SCMRcinematics) - as well as the Assets Mod (SCMRassets) and a Localization Mod (SCMRlocal).
2. Then extract all ZIP-Files to a folder of your choice. The extracted folder should look like graphic [1] below.
3. Now, open your StarCraft II installation directory where the StarCraft II.exe (WIN) or .app (MAC) is located. Per default this is on your primary C: drive under "Program Files (x86)" (WIN) or "Applications" (MAC). The standard paths to the StarCraft II installation directory are shown below.
Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II"
Mac OSX: "Macintosh HD/Applications/StarCraft II"
The StarCraft II installation directory should look similar to graphic [2] below. Note that you may need to create the "Maps" folder here if it does not already exist. Then move the folder called "Starcraft Mass Recall" (with lowercase "c") from the extracted folder to the "Maps" folder within your StarCraft II installation directory. The "Maps" folder should now look like graphic [3] below.
4. Next, move the "Mods" folder from the extracted folder into the StarCraft II installation directory (the same place as the "Maps" folder). Your "Mods" folder should now have four Mod files and resemble graphic [4] above.
5. While your newly placed "Starcraft Mass Recall" folder within the "Maps" folder should now look like graphic [5] below.

- Step-by-step Installation Guide (English)
- Installations-Handbuch (Deutsch)
Alternative ways to play
If the above doesn't work for you, first and foremost make sure that:
- you have all the necessary files in the right directories
- you've set the correct paths for the shortcut
- you're running the latest version of StarCraft II
Alternative way to play without the shortcut:
- locate SC2Switcher.exe in the Support folder (your StarCraft II installation directory)/Support
- locate the SCMR Campaign Launcher file in (your StarCraft II installation directory)/Maps/Starcraft Mass Recall
- drag and drop the SCMR Campaign Launcher file to SC2Switcher.exe
If you wish to play while logged on to Battle.net, you will need to take the following steps:
- Launch StarCraft II using the Battle.net launcher
- Alt-tab to Desktop
- Launch StarCraft: Mass Recall using the created shortcut
Note that you can still save and load any SCMR map, as long as you're logged in.
Bonus Campaign - Enslavers Redux Installation
ZIP Download - https://www.sc2mapster.com/projects/starcraft-mass-recall/files/3246278
This file includes a new 30-mission extra bonus campaign "Enslavers Redux" by OmegaWeaponX! This series contains 4 episodes, with 9 unique maps per Terran, Protoss, and Zerg races, with 3 epilogue maps. Content and story is based on the original Enslavers custom maps in StarCraft and Dark Vengeance maps in Brood War. Features brand new dialog and story, missions, and enhanced heroes with their own level-up mechanics! Learn what happens between the major StarCraft episodes and the events leading up to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty!
While this custom campaign can be played stand-alone by opening up the unique Enslavers Redux Campaign Launcher and launching missions from there, it is also integrated into Mass Recall via the "Extras" menu. In order to load it properly in for the Mass Recall Launcher to work with this campaign, follow these instructions:
- Download the above ZIP-file containing Enslavers Redux
- Go into your StarCraft II folder -> SCMR Mass Recall -> Extras:
- Within Extras, place your ZIP-file, then uncompress it there. You should have a folder that says 8. Enslavers Redux. It should look like this now:
- You've got Enslavers Redux installed! Now from the SCMR Campaign Launcher go to Extras and click on the Enslavers Redux menu panel. You can launch any mission from here or open the Enslavers Redux Campaign Launcher and launch missions from there!
Please note - This campaign has no unique audio for voices and as such it is required that subtitles are enabled in order to actually read what transmissions are saying :)

Make sure to check out the auto install and manual install video guides also linked above. The end result in these videos is the same, regardless of install method.
Also make sure you're using an up-to-date version of StarCraft II.
Common issues:
- Param/Value/-Error: If lots of texts are like that, you may have a problem with your Mods: Delete SCMRmod and SCMRlocal, and re-download them from the links above. If it is only one or two lines (say, a mission objective), report it in the comments section (in that case, please specify which language you are playing in).
- Dependency cannot be loaded: The Mods are not at the proper place. Check that you have put your Mods (SCMRmod, SCMRassets and SCMRlocal) in the "Mods" folder, as on the pictures above.
- Unable to load map: Your Maps are not at the proper place. Check that you have put the episode files such as "1. Rebel Yell" in a folder "Starcraft Mass Recall", itself to be placed in "Maps", as on the pictures above.

Hi! it's me again. Time for another SCMR update. Today's changes are all about the mighty protoss and their fearsome warriors. I made some changes to the models and death animations of every single protoss unit and building (even the interceptor). I also modified all the Nerazim faction skins (they now match better with each other) and edited some hero portraits (Mengsk, Dugalle, Stukov, Fenix and Retro Artanis). This one was a lot of work so I will take it easy from now on fixing bugs and making minor edits. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I had to upload this as fast as possible so I kinda rushed it a bit. There might be some bugs or wonky edits that I will fix later.
Hello one question: What happened to the one who was dedicated to being the Spanish translation. and one more thing, I should update the site where the skins of the units are shown, they should update I am confused which is the current and the previous one
Hello people,
A small fix for Dragon Knight weapon (Mercenary Immortal of Enslavers Redux) and inclusion of Space Cow creations new death animations and changes:
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1AZNHlGAmNF56gd5ZBEd7Vae1uZ54JNpr
In reply to omar_n001:
Nice Job Omar! I will update this file by the end of the day with some changes I've been working on so you can continue fixing the mod.
In reply to SpaceCowCreations:
Hey, I noticed that Marines with StarCraft 1 skins don't produce any death animation at all
In reply to omar_n001:
Whaaat? Oh thats odd I'll do some testing rn. Any specific mission ?
In reply to omar_n001:
By the way what's your graphic settings? Do you have physics on high?
Upadte: Ok I did some quick testing on all the Rebel Yell maps with every physics setting. Even if you disable the ragdoll, marines just use the standart WOL death ignoring the deathcustomize event for the actor.
On Enslavers Redux tho I found something different. SC1 skins work for every unit but not for the marine. I haven't looked into those maps triggers so not sure if that's intended. But even then, death animations seem to work fine. Can you tell me the details so I can replicate the issue?
Here's a small demonstration of the ragdoll death effects working on the SC1 marine (Mission 10 "The Hammer Falls")

Hey there Starcraft Mass Recall team,
some people on YouTube thought that an old (but I believe not outdated) library of mine could be useful to your project.
The library is called InsaneBriefing and allow an easy customizable way to handle the Briefing rooms. I also have some very cool presets you can use.
If you are interested I may also help in adapting it to your project.
Let me know if you are interested!
In reply to InsaneMst:
Looks cool
In reply to omar_n001:
Thanks! Is the mod still developed?
In reply to InsaneMst:
Unfortunately not, the owners are happy with it's current state and can't afford more time to give into this project , so a handful of us tried to fix whatever they can and that's it
In reply to omar_n001:
Oh :(
How can I contribute then, with respect to briefings? Do you want them?
In reply to InsaneMst:
If you can add them as an option to switch to and from with a check box like the many other options in the mod it will be a great contribution from you
In reply to omar_n001:
Thank you, I'll look into that!
Hello everyone! I've been working on some cosmetic and minor improvements for Mass Recall and I think it's finally ready for release. This update is all about my fellow terran whinners that, just like me, enjoy watching armies of marines being massacred by the brutal AI. It includes changes to the marine, scv, firebat, medic, siege tank, ghost and battlecruiser, all with fully functional death animations and some ragdoll effects (this one took me a while to figure out). Also, I added a minor buff to the firebat because it was mostly useless against the AI.
In the folder you can also find some optional cosmetic improvements for Quagmire, a custom campaign by Jones. If you haven't played Quagmire yet, give it a try. For me it was amazing.
This mod was based on the latest omar_n001 fixed file (the one updated yesterday). Dude if you are reading this, you can use this mod to continue fixing the bugs as you see fit. I will only make changes to the mod inmediately after one of your updates (to prevent us both from doing the same fixes several times)
Here is the link for the mod: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M2Ln3SVIUoJhO2Nib63Ecs6-rBec-2-t?usp=sharing
If you have any suggestions, let me know
Hope you guys enjoy it and Happy Mothers Day!
In reply to SpaceCowCreations:
Very nice. If it helps, I will keep you and omar posted with bugs I find along the way.
In reply to squidntrolloctopus:
Thanks man, that would really help. Seems like Omar is taking care of Enslavers Redux so I might focus on the 6 original campaigns. If you find some bugs there let me know. Cheers!
In reply to SpaceCowCreations:
There are some minor bugs that I face but I just ignore bugs that aren't very provoking to my taste :D , the main campaign is almost free of bugs though
In reply to SpaceCowCreations:
Sounds amazing , I will test it and start from here so we can continue building upon each other work.
In reply to SpaceCowCreations:
Uh where would I put this ^^; sorry
