-|Description = StarCraft stores the CD key in the stardat.mpq archive. This is a custom archive format used by Blizzard in some older games. Applications such as [https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/ladiks-mpq-editor.249562/ Ladik's MPQ Editor] can manipulate this type of file, but there is currently no command-line-only way to change the key. This script will run an [https://www.autohotkey.com/ AutoHotkey] script that will launch a tool called [http://www.icyhell.net/2008/04/05/starcraft-cd-key-changer/ StarCraft CD-Key Changer] and automate the input of the allocated key. For ease of distribution, it is recommended that you compile the AutoHotkey script to an .exe executable. This will allow you to run the script without having AutoHotkey installed on the client machine.
