Half OT - Starcraft modding
I'm knocking around the idea of putting a few FS ships into Starcraft, and possibly the ganymede to launch them from, but I need to know how to change in game pics. I've found to tools to change stats and stuff, but not the pics. So if anyone can tell me how, I'd be most appreciative.

I think you need to have StarDraft to edit the unit pics... not sure though.

Try looking at Starcraft.org for info...

Yes actually. Are those FS ships actually in the game, or have you messed around with screenshots?

I'll try stardraft too. Thanx.

"Image hosted by tripod"... wtf?


Well, if it is what I think it is, its a total fake.

It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to change unit icons, StarCraft can not be modded in any way except through the level editor, which can change unit stats and all, but NOT the icons.

I think I've seen the image before(if it is what I think it is), and you can tell by anti-aliasing and some other thing that it is fake.

Funny, i've played several campaigns, user made, where they have had new units.

Someone made or is continuing to work on a robotech campaign that replaces nearly every unit.

And don't forget that awesome Gundam mod! There's something nuts about sending swarms of Zaku to pound some sense into your opponent!

 yea it was a promotional HOAX i did back in early 2000 late 99 to sell the idea of a freespace RTS game, I STILL HAVE NOT GIVEN UP ON IT yET!!

 I tell u what tho, ive been shopping the RTS world for gaming engines to put real freespace ship models in them and i tell u that STAR TREK ARMADA IS THE BEST
 
  why

  The ships, weapons, and other stuff model like TBLS

  the sound effects and music scores are interchangable

  the freespace two menu is interchangable with the STA menu

 You can open up the LOD1 models and convert them to POF then to 3ds then to SOD, then u have all the STA models u want

  Anyone wanna help!!!

That image may be a fake, but its not impossible to mod it...
Thos MPQ files are the SC version of VP files...
The only difference is, I think you have to change the files within the MPQ file for it to change.

That is exactly right.  Some people created StarDraft, which essentially reads the MPQ files, lets you change unit pics, stats, weapons, fire rates, just about anything, and then rebuilds them into a new MPQ.  Pass along that MPQ with any missions you've made and there you go.  They even have it to where you can modify the backgrounds, menus, and such.

A place for excellent examples is www.campaigncreations.com

And why not mod a worthwhile game instead, exactly? One where, say, missiles don't invariably hit their target, for the exact same damage each time? Or where the terrain actually has an effect on something! Or where a pincers movement using inferior forces can actually win?

SEE what happens when you get me started on strats?

yeah, why not making mods for a game sold to twenty persons, has bad gfx and a plain gameplay, rather than Stacraft?

Watch it. E2150 has at LEAST 100. Bad effects? Ah well, I forgive you, you're just a SCer who has never even gotten past the demo (which I believe is based off the E2150 tutorial and thus means nothing). Bad gameplay? Well, no worse than SC's. You just have to know what you're doing. Keep it to the Marines, so I don't have to mock your ignorance in too many places at once.
