Put the contents of the cache .rar (the folder called "Blizzard Entertainment") into the main StarFriend folder.

Starting a server
Launch StarFriend_Client.exe. (/wiki/index.php/File:5.jpg)
The program should automatically detect your Starcraft 2 installation location on first launch. If it doesn't, select it manually. To start a serverthat is, to be the host of you LAN partyclick on the server tab. (/wiki/index.php/File:6.jpg)
Before you start, decide whether your server will be roomed or not. Rooms allow different games on the same servers, at the same time. (Note that if the server has a problem all the players will be dropped.) If you need rooms, you have to enable them. To do that, edit the config.ini file and change EnableMakeRoom=0 to EnableMakeRoom=1. (This is until StarFriend has a rooms toggle on its server tab.) "Your WAN IP" lets you know what it is. Don't worry about this if you're playing LAN. "Server Port" configures the port everyone will need to put in to join. The default is 1119. Remember port forwarding if you plan on hosting through WAN, though it may also be necessary for some LANs depending on the router setup. "Max Latency(ms)" is the latency a user can get to before they are kicked from the server. "Server Version" is the version of Starcraft 2 that the server will be hosted as. By default it detects the latest version. "Start server" launches the server (if it's not already running). "Stop server" stops the server (if it's already running). In most cases, you just have to press "Start server". Then go to your Start Menu, type cmd, and press Enter. In the window that comes up, type ipconfig and press Enter. Write down your IP address (it's in the first few linesthe one that

Joining a server
LAN
Launch StarFriend_Client.exe. If someone in your LAN has a server running, including yourself, you can now play. Go to the Client tab. Put in a player name. Make sure the StarCraft2 Folder and Client version are correct. Change the Port to the one the HOST has under their SERVER tab (by default they should both be 1119 anyway). Change the SERVER IP to what the HOST wrote down in the above section. Unless you are the host, in which case click "IP of my server". Then press Start Game!
(/wiki/index.php/File:StarFriend1.png)
Joining these is the same process as the above, except that the IP of the server and the port are given in that list instead of by a LAN host. Click on a server in the list, and press the "Detect Server" button to get a list of the rooms in it and their specific ports. Some info on each room's lobby or active game also appears. Double click on the server in the lower box, then click the "Start Game" button.
Logging in
After joining a server correctly, you will get the regular login screen. If the server is NOT roomed: Username: gg@gl.hf Password: gg For everyone, including host.

If the server IS roomed: Username: whatyouwant.gg@gl.hf Password: gg For everyone, including host.
Observing
After joining a server correctly, you will get the regular login screen. If the server is NOT roomed: Username: ob@gl.hf Password: gg For everyone, including host. If the server IS roomed: Username: rooms.ob@gl.hf Password: gg For everyone, including host. If you are correctly connected on the server as observer, you will see on each side of your nickname, as shown in the screen on the right.

Problems logging in
If you can log in and the chatroom only has you in it (with s around your name) even though multiple players are logged in, you did something wrong in starting or joining the server. The host probably has to forward the ports on their router.
Login order
The order that players log in gives a symbol beside their name. The number beside your name is also the order of your slot in the game. Here's an example: Serutan & Anonymous VS Blizzard & Law Serutan logs in first, so he will be named Serutan. The s mean he will be the game creator.

Anonymous logs in second. He will be named (2)Anonymous(2). The (2)s mean that when Serutan creates a game, when he will invite Anonymous, Anonymous will take slot 2. Blizzard logs in third. He will be named (3)Blizzard(3). Law logs in fourth. They will be named (4)Law(4). Serutan has to create the game. Then, even if he invites them in the order Law, Blizzard, Anonymous, in the actual game they will still be in the slot corresponding to the number in their name.
Playing a Game
The player with s should click CREATE GAME under CUSTOM GAME. Select the map. Only those with stars are available unless you alter the maps (see forums). Open the chatroom tab and invite the other players to the game one by one. They accept and appear in the game. Set the options and start the game!
AI
There's only one way to play AI: by creating a custom game and then changing "Game mode" to "Co-op vs AI". This options fills the enemy team with AI. The AI difficulty is altered in the same panel, under "Mode". All the AI will have the same difficulty. There is NO option yet for any team with mixed humans and AI. Do not add them manually, this doesn't work. The AI sits there and does nothing.
Available modes
As of this writing, Starfriend currently works with: 1v1 2v1, 3v1, 3v2 4v1, 4v2, 4v3 3v3, 4vs4 4/6/8 FFA
1vs1AI 1v2AI, 1v3AI, 2v3AI 1v4AI, 2v4AI, 3v4AI 4vsAI To play alone (e.g. campaign), use the solo tab, not the multiplayer tab.

It's possible, but I have no information about it. It's very complicated anyway. The current version of Starfriend has a section under the Tips tab for adding and deleting maps, which always replace a 2, 4, 6, or 8-player map until you delete them. But I still don't know how it works exactly. :(
Commands
Edit "-min" command line into multi-room.bat : SF will run in minimal mode. UPDATE!: StarFriend Beta 0.91 or higher supports the map checking paramater "/m", which in the lobby will check to see if all players have the same map before the game starts, if a player does not have the map, the player will download it. If you want to launch multiple instances of StarFriend on a server you can use multiroom.bat, the default lobby count in multi-room.bat is 10, you can edit in "(1,1,10)".(PS: it is not recommended to use multi-room.bat if your pc is not a pure server such as a home computer, because multi-room.bat will launch StarFriend in high-priority mode.)
Hotkeys
The hot key can be stored now and whatever user character is, it can be used. and the hot key file will be in "My Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\888888888" folder and something like replay file will be in "My Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\888888888\5-S2-1-8888888" folder. by now, i think there is no need to redirect "My Documents\StarCraft II" folder to SF folder because you can share same config file with official BN.
