+ Some of the Protoss units have been added
+ Sounds and music work

Just wrote an installation guide for Ubuntu users at UGA for Stargus: http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/guides:stargus

[n0.obAtroN]

In follow-up to Artificial Intelligence's howto for installing Stargus, you can download the latest (stable) developmental version of stargus by doing :

svn co https://stargus.svn.sourceforge.net/...targus/stargus stargus

in a shell instead of downloading stargus-0.1.tar.gz

This will give you the latest stargus w/ the latest features (zerg, protoss, Tilesets etc.)

Artificail Intelliegence: Yeah this is cool but useless to those that don't do the pvp thing. Though when it gets to the point where the campain is playable natively I'll defentiytly beta test it.

0.2 = Have most of the zerg and protoss finished, terran 100% complete
0.3 = Have Terran + Zerg + Protoss 100% complete
0.4 = Tilesets + UI Done (menus, terrain, console, etc.)
0.5 = Terran Campaigns
0.6 = Zerg Campaigns
0.7 = Protoss Campaigns
0.8 = Bugfixes, MetaServer (online play similar to battle.net)
0.9 = To Be Planned
1.0 = No Idea

Is it possible to make it that an unit get ranks after X kills? That one thing I missed from StarCraft.

[Lord Illidan]

That would be a nice option.

Yeah would be cool if for ex. for 1.0 the goal was to surpass the Original with stuff like veterans
a way to keep balance is to make it an upgrade based on kills for the unit and add a unit point cost

ex.
Marine 100% as normal
COST:
1 unit point
bla bla resources


Upgrade
Sgt Marine 210%
Upgrade cost
1unit point
needed 15 confirmed kills

this way you gain alot but still keep some balance.so the Sgt costs like 2units in unit points (supply depos) and equals 2Marines + 10%
