1. Installation

This app will place the Mac Emerald Path into your Starcraft Files directory. The patch is a tweeked version of the Starcraft Patch file. The original one will be left into the folder Starcraft Files under the name Starcraft Patch.1.

2. How to remove it

You will not be able to play Starcraft at all with the patch installed. The patch is meant only for StarEdit uses. So, in order to play Starcraft, you will need to go into your Starcraft Files directory and rename the current Starcraft Patch file to something else and  then rename the Starcraft Patch.1 file to Starcraft Patch. To edit a map created with the Mac Emerald Patch or to create a new one, you just have to do this process the other way.

3. What it does

The Mac Emerald Patch allows you to place all the hidden units of Starcraft. This include Mensk, General DuGalle, Rasagel, and others. Also, you can now place some units that where not placeable like the Disruption Web and the Dark Swarm or the Zerg Larva and Lurker Cocoon. You can also rename ALL the units. This include the powerups, mineral fields and others. Finally, you can use new AI scripts that were hidden. These are AI Train Nuke, AI Disruption Web Here, AI Recall Here, AI Nuke Here, AI Junkyard (wander) and Turn ON or OFF Shared Vision for all the eight players.

4. Problems

-If you open a map and it says that some invalid units have been removed, it means this map is using some Emerald placed units and that you will need to install the patch like said in part 2 to view or edit this map.

-If Starcraft crash or you can't join any game in the Multiplayer part, it means the Emerald patch is still active and that you need to remove it like said in part 2.

-Due to unknown cause, the Marine has no weapon while using the patch. To bybass this problem once in Starcraft, you need to place at least one Marine without the patch loaded, then save, then reopen your map with the patch on. DO NOT EDIT THE MARINE'S STATS AFTER.

-By making the doors and traps doodads aviable in any titleset, you won't be able to select the doodad you want to affect in the trigger Set Doodad State. To bybass this problem, do as above by doing the trigger before loading the patch. DO NOT EDIT THE ACTION SET DOODAD STATE AFTER.
