full version). It works for me, so I really hope this works for you.

Cheers!
Thanks omega!
EDIT: I am having no end of trouble with this mission... It plays for about one minute, and then crashes, saying that 'Zerg10Track1' is corrupt.
Also, here's the review so far. I'll finish it up when I have time:

## STARCRAFT I: ECHOES OF THE SWARM ##
######################################
BY OMEGA20
REVIEW - JIM_RAYNOR
MISSION 1
->Briefing:
Typos:
- 'To' instead of 'at', 'When the Zerg arrived to Chau Sara'.
- 'Spreaded' instead of 'Spread', 'as the Swarm had already spreaded to several other Terran worlds.'
Plus:
- I like the introduction very much.
->Mission:
Typos:
- 'Do' instead of 'Does', 'As you grow, so do your brood."
- 'Advice' instead of 'advise', 'I will oversee your progress from now forward and advice you as you continue to learn.'
- 'Advice' instead of 'advise', 'I would advice to infest it in order to learn more about these creatures' abilities.'
- 'But know that if you've won today is because we have not interfered.' The 'if' and 'is' shouldn't be there.
Plus:
- Very nice way to start of the campaign, and great introduction for Araq.
- Terrain looks very natural and nice.
- Music score is perfect.
- "Look at that structure, Cerebrate. It seems like it is some sort of factory-like facility. The level of technology seems less advanced to that of the Protoss though." I like this statement, showing how much the Zerg do and don't know. It's quite cool
- The speech is all very nice, albeit a few things mentioned below. I like a lot of what Araq says.
Odd:
- Cerebrate Araq states, 'I too am a Cerebrate of the Swarm, like you.' The 'like you' sounds odd, as if he is grasping for words.
- 'I will oversee your progress from now forward and advice you as you continue to learn.' Again, grasping for words.
- 'Good job, Cerebrate.' It sounds odd for a Zerg to say good job, well done is a bit more appropiate.
Bug:
- I was able to cinch the Infested Command Centre part by lifting it off and landing it in my main base. As the Terran were set to attack to where it was, I had an easy wait. You may want to add a trigger and location to prevent this.
MISSION 2
->Briefing:
Typos:
- There should be a comma after Pleased in 'I am well pleased young Cerebrate'.
- 'Tought' instead of 'Taught', 'They must be tought that actions like that... have a price.'
- 'Fullfill' instead of 'Fufill', 'Go now, my child, and fullfill your purpose.'
Plus:
- Nice use of quotes from Liberty's Crusade.
Odd:
- Players may find it strange that Araq and Zasz have the same portrait.
->Mission:
Typo:
- 'Focuse' instead of 'Focus', 'Since your units are already upgraded, you can focuse on spawning new minions'.
Plus:
- The music score is just right for this mission.
- It's always nice to see an old map in a new way
Complain:
- The 'New Mission Objectives' text states 'Zasz must control at least 1 hatchery.' While, on the other hands, the mission objectives state, 'Zasz' hatchery must endure.' While not dreadfully important, it's nice to have consistency.
- There's no message upon defeat, and I often found myself staring at the defeat screen wondering what the heck happened. I noticed this in a lot of maps, and it is quite annoying.
Odd:
- 'But it won't make you any good.' Do you mean, 'It won't do you any good'?
Critical Bug:
- I found the dropships before destroying the Terran base. Before I could destroy it, though, my units were pulled back to the base with the message, 'You cannot leave the battle!' Later, when the Protoss base was spawned, much of the Terran base was there and, in effect, many of the vital Protoss structures weren't spawned and I had an easy time with the base.
MISSION 3
->Briefing:
Odd:
- Seems strange that Venezoth would say 'don't' as most Protoss don't use contractions.
->Mission
Plus:
- Music score is very fitting.
- Great little introduction to Grothesk.
- Funny computer scene to lighten up the mood a little.
- Much less typos then the previous missions.
Odd:
- Seems strange that the Zealot would say 'En Taro Adun' to the Zerg, as En Taro Adun is a Protoss greeting.
MISSION 4
->Mission
Plus:
- Funny introduction, with fairly fitting music.
- Blizzard characters seems fairly in character.
- I like the way you called Duke 'snake', just like Jim and Arcturus did
Typos:
- 'His' instead of 'their', 'So, it'll be your mission to remove the Terran threat in the region by killing his leader'.
Bug:
- When Raynor speaks, it shows Hawthorne's portrait.
MISSION 5
->Briefing
Typos:
- 'It' instead of 'if', 'I don't know, though, it they have some connection with the psionic energy emanations...'
->Mission
Complain:
- Not a very fitting music track, but it works.
- It takes a heck of a long time, a long boring time, to destroy the Orange base.
Bug:
- An SCV managed to grab the Psi Emmiter before I arrived.
Typo:
- 'Many' instead of 'much', 'The scouting underlings you sent ahead of your Swarm provided us with many information about you.'
Plus:
- I found a way to use the rampant Zerg to my andvatage, attacking the Terran at the same time. It was fun
- Great ending scene with nice foreshadowing.
Odd:
- Seems strange that Hawthrone would say 'Meh'. It's hard to understand how he can go from shock to that.
MISSION 6
->Breifing
Typo:
- 'Lintern' instead of 'lantern', 'drawing them in like moths to a lintern.'
- 'And well?' The 'and' shouldn't be there.
- 'Fullfil' instead of 'fufill', 'Go forth, children of the Swarm, and fullfil your task.'
->Missions
Odd:
- Even though it's for gameplay reasons, it seems strange that the structures, especially the minerals, would dissapear from the Boss arena.
