Yep, I can confirm that v0.41 has teams working properly now! Many thanks!

However, there is a bug that should be pointed out. When playing with 6 player Metapolis, the launcher does not set up the teams and races properly. For example, you want player 6 to be terran and on your team with player 4 as Zerg and on the enemy's team, however, Zerg will be on your team and Terran will be the enemy.

This bug makes setting up 3v3 rather difficult since it sometimes becomes a 2v4.

The reason is the 6 player Metapolis map is not an official map by Blizzard. It is a modified map file, so the tool would have problem dealing with it.

This is great and you're so modest. Hope the source code will help the community here get even better launcher. There's still no one other than you that achieved the team setting. Although the allied AIs are not behaving correctly, I'm sure there's a way to fix that.

Hey, dude. Could you please not overstate the contribution of this Starlauncher?

Zoxc's is the best launcher still, IMO.  This one will do teaming, but if Zoxc can add that to his, then it'll totally rock. His newest one (2.2.2) also dispenses with the need for Lazy Launcher. Once he get's proper teaming into the mix, I think his will be best. I like the interface and functionality of it the most.


Others still have yet to even get races and colors into the mix.  But in the long run, theirs may also be quite cool.  But at this moment, I feel that Zoxc's launcher, with full team options working, would be complete and awesome.


But kudos to this author for figuring out the team issues.  Major kudos.

Yeah, the Zoxc's one is amazing. Actually it is the one I am using.
But I just found that the new version of Valkirie's well known Starcraft II - Beta Launcher, v0.21 is much more versatile now.
So I am hesitating which one I should choose.
However, this is a "pleasant" problem

WOW, 0.21 with awesome GUI and plenty of information. I like it.
In my point of view, it could be much more versatile and robust than the StarCrack's one and Zoxc's.
I am considering replace the Zoxc's with this one. LoL

It is not work!

Can not locate Starcraft II directory!
Try to put the StarLauncher.exe to the game directory.

P.S: He is placed in this directory!!!

I did not encounter this problem.

When I click the button "..." for browse map files, it just automatically identify my starcraft 2 main path.
However, I put my maps neither in the main path nor the user/...  So I have to manually specify the location of my map files.

Hope the information above is useful for you.

Hm! Likely this launcher does not support Russian path! =(

Probably this is the issue.
Maybe this problem is similar to Lazy Launcher.  Lazy Launcher do not support Chinese path.
Does the lazy launcher supports Russian path?

I am not the author, just forwarding this tool here. I hope it may, more or less, facilitate your things related to SC2. However, DO NOT overstate the contribution of this tool.

Now the new version of this chinese launcher supports selecting team as well.
You can choose AI player as your teammate. That is, you can decide:
(you + AI) vs (2 AI) OR you vs (3 AI)
So, gl hf.

For download link, please refer to this topic (now with 0.41):
http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/sc2-tools/starlauncher-v0-3-with-team-setting-colorrace-selection-slot-changing/

==============================================

This is a very tiny, in terms of the file size (65KB), launcher with the function of selecting race and color.

The author of this tool said that the feature of selecting race, colorand team is not based on the work of StarCrack work. And this tool isposted on a chinese forum 2 hours before the well known StarCrackLauncher.

Source (in Chinese):
http://bbs.islga.org/read-htm-tid-38785.html

==============================================

Current issues:

I have tested it. Like what StarScrack Launcher does, it will modify map files. But the current version will not automatically backup your map files, so please do it by yourself.

==============================================

The following words are translated from the original chinese words:

Starcraft II Beta Launcher created by me. It is a very simple one regarding to its function. Selecting team is currently not available. Only simple test has been carried out.

Functionality:
- Load maps for single player game
- Choose the number of opponents (limited by the map)
- Selecing race both for human player and AI players
- Selecting colors (via choose the slot of each player)
- Setecting referee and spectator(observer) to watch AI only games

==============================================

For those having concern about the security issue. This is the results of virus scan (updated for v0.3):

It shows it is unlikely to be a virus but could be a crack.

==============================================

==============================================

Notice:
I do not know the exact way of this tool as to implement its functionalities. I am not the author. But the author has said that the function of single player mode is based on the reverse engineering of Lazy Launcher. That is it. So do not raise any rubbish words arguing that.

The mods author of "Improved StarCrack AI 5.5 Cheating Version", buyiyi, has released a improved cheating mod of AMAI 2 v0.01. It could be even more difficult to beat than "StarCrack AI V5.5++ THE LAST".
So if you are convinced you are capable of beating "StarCrack AI V5.5++ THE LAST", now you can try this new one.

The resource in this cheating version which AI player collects is multiplied by *2.

Some tips by taking advantage of bugs(as the original AMAI v0.01), if you like:
1. mine the resource in an island.
2. when facing a Protoss AI player, you can draw their stalker to a highland where they would be trapped and could not get closer to your troops.

Thanks to all the authors' effort.

For those who need only difficult AI: http://www.mediafire.com/?yjjmnnkgmmm

This one is based on the work of Goosie AI v4 and modificated by chinese. It seems to be more difficult than Goosie AI v4. This AI will try to make use of those extra resource collected by cheating.
So. HF!
