Before you start it wold be preferable to have a clean and updated installation of Starcraft II.
Getting started
Needed files :
- Login bypass, maps, cache (use the new cache), replays : http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5376948

- New cache : http://www.sc2win.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=50

- Lazy launcher V.2 : http://www.mediafire.com/?mon3ntwhit2

- AI Maps : http://www.multiupload.com/7YY40566LH

- AI Maps cache : http://www.mediafire.com/?3inmimlom4h

- AI 6.1 : http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/ai-scripts/starcrack-ai-official-thread/

- More maps (topic gets updated) : http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/ai-scripts/starcraft-2-beta-offline-ai-maps/msg4109/#msg4109

- Multiple Launcher GUIs installer for Lazylaunch 2.0 (If you are lazy) : http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/sc2-tools/multiple-launcher-guis-installer-for-lazylaunch-2-0/

Bypassing the login : First of all you will it need to bypass the login if you want to watch replays. To do so you need to put the "SWF" folder you got from the torrent here "C:\Program Files\StarCraft II Beta\Battle.net".
Example : http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9066/imagexj.jpg
Now you sucessfuly bypassed the login.

Installing the maps + AI maps

First of all, let's put the "Maps" folder you downloaded from the torrent here "C:\Users\your_username\Documents\StarCraft II Beta".

You will it also put the AI maps there.

Cache

The "Cache" needed for replays goes here "C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net".

The "AppData" and "Local" folders are hidden. To make them visible you need to :
1. Open a random folder
2. Push "ALT"
3. Select the "Tools" tab.
4. Select the "Visualizations" tab.
5. Find "folders and hidden files" and check "show hiden folders and files"

Replays

From the torrent you surely downloaded also a "Replay" folder. We have to put that here "C:\Users\your_username\Documents\StarCraft II Beta". Now go watch some replays!

Installing the AI 6.1
Inside the zip, rar whatever you downloaded inside it there will it be a file named "Base.SC2Data". Understood what to do right? the file goes here :

"C:\Program Files\StarCraft II Beta\Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod".
Backup your original "Base.SC2Data" first.

Playing
If you want to play you will it need the Lazy launcher. Open your lazy launcher and now you will it have to navigate into your "Maps" folder "C:\Users\your_username\Documents\StarCraft II Beta\Maps". Now choose the map you want to play in and there you are. If you installed the AI and want to play VS him play into the AI maps, example "(4) - Metalopolis.s2ma" etc. The ones with the ( ) are with the AI.
Some Antivirus might releave it as a virus. Don't worry is safe. Just disable your AV in order to play.

Hope the guide is complete and clear. Have fun!

PS : Some things might be modified.

I think you may have added in a few steps,

This came Directly from the Torrent -

THIS WAS CREATED IN WINDOWS 7. I DON'T KNOW IF SOME OF THE LOCATIONS ARE DIFFRENT IN OTHER
OPERATING SYETEMS, BUT USE THIS TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.

I'm going to go through where to put each of these folders thay you've downloaded. By now
I assume you've at least installed the Beta.

How to Bypass the Battle.net Login:
Open Windows Explorer and go to the following location:

C:\Program Files\StarCraft II Beta\Battle.net

Once you're there, paste the folder that you downloaded called SWF into the folder you
went to in Windows Explorer. Once you paste the folder, you're done Bypassing the
Battle.net login!

The Cache (used to watch replays):
Open Windows Explorer and go to the following location:

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME_HERE\AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net

You should now see a folder called Cache and a file called index.
Take the Cache file you downloaded and paste it into the Battle.net folder that you
just went to in Windows Explorer. If it asks you to replace certain things, go ahead and do
so.When it finishes copying, you're done with the Cache!

The Replays (the actual replays you're going to watch):
After putting the Cache where it needed to go, you're going to want to watch some replays,
right? First, go to this location in Windows Explorer:

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME_HERE\Documents\StarCraft II Beta

When you look here you should see two folders called GameLogs, Maps, and a text file called
Variables. Paste the folder called Replays that you downloaded into this folder that you
navigated to and you're done with the Replays!

Now you're all done! Go load up SC2, watch some replays, and mess with your graphics
settings so everything runs smoothly when we're finally able to play some skirmishes.

- But on the other hand I followed these directions to the dot, but on Xp and mine doesn't work.
I receive the error "**temp** one or more of these files which are needed to play this game are not available locally. They must be downloaded first."

I'm about to read the hell out of this in hopes that it is my holy grail, http://botdev.org/doku.php?id=tutorials

"I receive the error "**temp** one or more of these files which are needed to play this game are not available locally. They must be downloaded first"

This error is due to the fact that the map files you're using do not contain all the maps available in the beta. So while some replays work, any that were played on a map you don't have will give you the error. If you get this error for every replay it means that you haven't copied the files into your cache folder correctly.

WEWT WEWT!!! PROBLEM RESOLVED!!!

I had accidently Moved the Cache file to
c:\documents and settings\Twe3k\Application data\Blizzard entertainment\battle.net

It needed to go to
c:\documents and settings\Twe3k\Local settings\Application data\Blizzard entertainment\battle.net

Now everything works great for me.

I can't get this work... It says I am missing files...
I guess I have something wrong with my "maps" folder...
Looking like this --> http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/7277/78101128.png

It's not the maps, it's the cache that you're missing.

Welmu · « **Reply #9 on:** February 20, 2010, 03:57:37 AM »

I have that cache file in C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME_HERE\AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net

You mean something else?

Kev · « **Reply #10 on:** February 20, 2010, 04:00:18 AM »

Oh, i see : Your Cache folder don't go here, it is the Cache folder it self, you must put all the folders in the Cache folder, into the Cache folder.

Sorry for my bad english i'm not english :s I hope you understand what i mean

Welmu · « **Reply #13 on:** February 20, 2010, 04:19:42 AM »

Err... Sorry didn't really get it ^^. Can you try explain it some other way?

Kev · « **Reply #14 on:** February 20, 2010, 04:23:44 AM »

Sorry ^^'

Hope you understand with it : http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/5319/explaine.png
