I got an idea to make some of the spells of sc look like differnt colors do you think it would be a good idea?
Its easy to change colours with images.dat or just changing the HUE of the image.I dont think that a mod that changes only colours would be played.Try editing spell graphics or spell effects.
How the hell do you change the graphics or color?
I am so confused....
If you want to tell me how please explain everything***
Thank you

1):Go into WinMpq and go to stardat.mpq or brooddat.mpq (depending on unit you want)
2):Extact file(s) to desktop or somewhere else
3):Open up RETRO GRP
4):Press Ok
5):Load External File (File From Step 1/2)
6):Click Write Out Bmps
7):Click one of the buttons depending on what you want
8):Put The Bmps into a folder (Most people dont want that much mess)
9):Open up your Bmp folder
10):Right click "edit" the first Bmp ect. for the rest
There are few palettes in sc for spells and effects-green-for acid spray,glave wurm "explosion",infested terran explosion
the other palette is the red one-for terran explosions and engine fire
the third palette is the protoss blue one
not all units use those palettes-if you open a grp and see a strange coloured images-like fire,explosions nuke explosion etc ,then the graphic uses those special palettes
there are some others that i havent used before,i suppose there is even a "emp shock" animation
you could make fire green,nuke strike blue etc by changing the special palette at images.dat
if you want to edit the animations that dont use those palettes you could extract the frames and just change HUE of the image(im not sure if u need to import the unit palette after you change HUE)
changing color i think is pretty tight... also that mod liek zerg doom and etc.. why did he make it so random and unblanced XD great mod but so random and unbalanced i dislike it for that fact
