If you find one tell me. I want to play ORTC...
So do I, hence, the reason I'm asking.

My best advice is play ORTC with SC 1.10, memorize the tech tree and write you own MEMGraft patch.

Not entirely sure how to do that *blushes*. I know how to use MEMGraft but when I try to implement it I start getting errors. I'm not the most Uber modder in the world, just a pretty good one.[right][snapback]221761[/snapback][/right]
Apparently you now know how to.*m.r.bob points to the recently added tutorial.
If you had only added that a day or too sooner, I wouldn't have had to figure out how to do that myself.
The next tutorial you should make it how to moddify the Iscripts with ICE.
That's what you use for customizing spells.
EDIT: Would you mind if I ripped off you and started making all my posts in this color?

Yeah, I buffed up on running MEMGraft patches over the last view days. Chapter IX is going to be more on MEMGraft then, yes, Chapter X will dip into ICE/ICECC.

I noticed in the tutorial it said right-click and click insert whatever it said (can't remember). Whenever I right click anywhere in StarGraft or MemGraft nothing happens, I just go to the far right and select Opcode or Param (Unit or.. the other one...) and it adds it, but adds another blank at the end.

Tell people to use IceCC for Iscript.bin editing.
Also tell people to read the manual that comes with the program before asking any newbish questions.

Please Note: Due to reasons outside my understanding (though I suspesct it has to do with missings iscripts), Stacraft will crash if you try to use the Lockdown or Maelstorm abilities.[right][snapback]215054[/snapback][/right]
*sigh* writing tutorial...
*m.r.bob doesn't have time to work on mod applying for spot on modding team and write tutorials, but m.r.bob will try.
Tutorials take prioity in my opinion.

Here is the tutorial to add on to your current one. It is almost exactly a copy of my previous tutorial becuase I'm lazy.

[center]Infested SCVs
Using IceCC to edit the "Iscript.bin" file.
Iscripts, they do more then you think they do![/center]
Disclaimer: This is not a tutorial on how to write custom iscripts or substantially change iscripts, if you want to learn that, talk to someone like BSTRhino. This tutorial is meant to
teach you how to use IceCC. Future iscript tutorials (by me at least) will assume you know this and will deal with the actual language itself.
Before starting: IceCC's Iscript.bin file might be out of date. To update it open your patch_rt.mpq in WinMPQ and drag the
"scripts\ISCRIPT.BIN" file into C:\IceCC\data\scripts
1. Download, install and open IceCC. Make sure that you install it into your C:\ drive, or else you might get an error message.
2. Double click on the file called "IceCCUI"
3. Select Terran SCV from the units header and press the decompile button.
4. Click the "Open in editor" button. IceCCUI should create a file called "Iscript.txt" in the IceCC folder. Notepad should then open that file.
5. You should see some text like this:
6. Unminimize notepad, and go to where it says:
AirAttkRpt [NONE]
SpAbility2 [NONE]
GndAttkToIdle SCVGndAttkToIdle
AirAttkToIdle [NONE]
Then replace the "[NONE]" next to SpAbility2 with SCVSpAbility2
7. Write the following inbetween "SCVGndAttkInit" and "SCVGndAttkToIdle"
SCVSpAbility2:
nobrkcodestart
wait 1
playfram 0x11 # frame set 1
wait 2
playfram 0x22 # frame set 2
wait 1
castspell
sigorder 2
wait 1
nobrkcodeend
goto SCVOther
8. Save the .txt file. Open the command line prompt by going to RUN and typing in "cmd".
Type: cd C:\IceCC
Type: icecc -o "C:\my modding folder\iscript.bin" C:\IceCC\data\scripts\iscript.bin C:\IceCC\iscript.txt
( Silence is good, error messages are bad. Don't re do it just because it didn't say "DONE!". IceCC never says DONE.)
Explanation: Ice cc is the txt to bin compiler. The syntax is -[options] <input 1> <input 2> <input n>
The option "o" tells IceCC to write the compiled .bin file to <input> instead of the defult directory.
What you are basically saying is: Merge the files "C:\IceCC\data\scripts\iscript.bin" and "C:\IceCC\iscript.txt" and write the result to "C:\my modding folder\iscript.bin"
IceCC will compile any .txt files it comes across (it's main function actually).
11. Add your new Isciprt file to your MPQ and run it. You should know how to do this.

To DTDK: I haven't tested this. If would be so kind as to do the honors. Just add this file to the MPQ of the mod in your memgraft tutorial
I did it pretty sketchily in about 2 seconds. I hope there are no huge errors.

Graphics editing is something I can't write you a tutorial for. Just try to make it look nice, I can't give you any suggestions.
For chapter VIII, make these steps were followed to the letter:
65. In the text field called "patch_rt.mpq", replace "\patch_rt.mpq" with "\eye.mpq".
72. Click "Save MPQ" and save as "eye.mpq" in your testmod6 folder.
75. Add mgpatch.mgd saved in step 58 with custom\ as the prompt.
77. Go to your testmod6 folder. Copy eye.exe and eye.mpq into your Starcraft folder.
All the filenames and such have to be exact.

Have you downloaded patch 1.13? If so, forget everything to do with MemGraft.
Otherwise, you have a 'ghost' starcraft.exe process running. Go to task manager by pressing CNTRL+SHIFT+ESC and check you list of processes. If you see one called 'starcraft.exe', end it. If it won't end, end it by reatarting your computer. Then eye.exe should run.
