Getting started

SCNexus is a hub app built for the StarCraft community. The current version offers the following:

• Campaign management: keeps your local campaign library in one place. Importing an archive or a folder identifies the content type and file layout automatically, so you never pick an installation mode by hand; installation and activation are separate, the game is only overwritten once you activate, and you can deactivate or uninstall at any time.
• Custom content: uses the same automatic analysis, then installs maps and mods straight into the game's Maps / Mods directories with no activation step. You can pick a launcher map and start the game in one click, and keep local edits when uninstalling.
• Weekly mutations: this week's mission map, mutators and community ratings for the CN, US, EU and Asia servers, with server-verified results distinguished from rotation projections.
• Replays: indexes local replays by matchup and replay type, flags duplicates, exports in bulk, and shows resource curves and production timelines.
• Workshop: browse and search community works, open their details, and download reviewed releases.
• Creator center: once you hold creator status, create works, maintain the description and changelog, upload new versions, and follow transfers under uploads.
• Downloads: fetch reviewed releases from the SCNexus Workshop by work number (SCNID), or pull content from a public GitHub repository; in-progress and finished tasks share one list, and installation is a separate confirmation.
• Creation tools: local helpers such as the encoding converter. Everything runs on your machine; input is never uploaded or stored.
• Smart Assistant: an optional, locally controlled MCP service that only listens on loopback, letting AI clients on the same machine query data and work with campaign files.
• Account and personal center: sign-in, nickname and email, experience levels and daily check-in, and two-step verification.
• Settings: display language, download directory, game directory, feature switches, log level and telemetry all live here.

Offline features and official online services

SCNexus works on two layers: the core features all run locally, while the official online services are strictly an extension that you decide whether to enable.

The official services are optional: leaving them off does not affect the offline features. While they are off, the app stops calling the official content APIs, clears the local sign-in state and hides the Workshop entry; existing Workshop tasks and downloaded files are kept, and can be resumed by hand after you turn the services back on.

Importing, installing, activating and uninstalling campaigns, installing and launching custom content, and the Smart Assistant all keep working; weekly mutations fall back to local data and rules, and GitHub downloads are unaffected. Online analytics is controlled by its own switch and is not tied to any of the above.
