Did you add the custom\mgpatch.mgd to MercMirr.mpq? I assume you did, but you didn't include that step in your last post, so I'm just checking...
Oops...fixed that typo. But yes I did add it
QUOTE
You used \ in the filename, right? Not / ?
yes I used \

Are you sure you have the right version of StarCraft? If you use MemGraft 1.13e, you MUST have StarCraft 1.13e. I don't know if you need Broodwar, but I suppose it could be a problem if you haven't got it.
Yes its on the right version
QUOTE
Is the StarCraft dir the same as the one you installed it into? The reason I'm asking is because MemGraft looks in the Windows Registry to get the path to SC, and if you have moved SC, the path won't be right. If the registry path is incorrect, you will probably be prompted if you want to install SC when you insert the SC CD, instead of being asked if you want to play the game
Nope ive never moved the Starcraft folder or anything else.
QUOTE
Templar, do you happen to have 2 SC folders: one to dev and one to play by any chance ? (I assume yes since you can't use MG on 1.14)
No I just change the version to 1.14 whenever i want to play on Bnet or a normal game.
QUOTE
It has to do with MemGraft. What I'm wondering is how you fit MPQDraft into the picture. You shouldn't use it, unless you're using version 1.09b or 1.10 of StarCraft, in which case you do not use MemGraft in the same way.
What do you mean? dont you have to use mpqdraft to put the mgd file into a mpq file to run it?

Your problem is that you forgot to change the patch_rt.mpq for your own mpq. I forgot this in one of my test mods and got the same error.
Did you use stargraft to create the *.pat file? If not you should, because otherwise you can't load. Open memgraft, click import .pat, find your *.pat file you made. Go into the misc tab. Change the name of patch_rt.mpq to the name of your to be .mpq. Then go to main, and hit save release. Save as mgpatch.mdg and save the .exe as whatever you want. Go into winmpq. Click MPQ Embedder under tools. Click open MPQ, open C:\program files\starcraft\patch_rt.mpq. Click save MPQ. Save as the name that you replaced patch_rt.mpq with earlier. Close the MPQ embedder. Open up the MPQ you saved. Add all the files that you had in your old MPQ use unit\[race]\ for grps, use arr\ for .dats, and import the .mgd that you saved a second ago. Then put the .MPQ in your starcraft folder, and double click the .exe.
The problem is that it is trying to load the normal patch_rt.mpq, instead of your modded .mpq, and it can't find the file it's looking for.

That is what I said too but Ojan corrected me

He said "Then I go to my misc tab and I change the "\patch_rt.mpq" to "\MercMirr.mpq". There's nothing wrong there?

Make sure the MPQ is actually named "MercMirr.mpq". That could be your problem.

Wow all of this and the only thing wrong was that the MPQ was named Mercury Mirror instead of MercMirr like my .pat file... Thx!
