Hi...I'm hoping you can really solve this problem i got, i'm pretty much ruined the way i am right now...
Here are the problems...
1. I open the stardat.mpq or any other mpq, extract a grp, open retro grp write the bmps edit them and then compile them again and get them into a mpq and use mpqdraft to load that mpq and play it. but when i go in game, it does nothing...the unit it's still like the original
and...i sent the mpq to other people and no body could see any changes although when they extracted the grp they saw the changes and no the extention is not wrong....
2. i open memgraft ( i did the same thing with 1.11b and 1.13e) select the terran advanced buildings add two diferent buttons (yes it now shows two "Terran Marine") i do everything right with the first one to get it to build a new building and the second button i added it's the cancel, then i erase the old one
i change the requirements and everything set the mpq to mod.mpq ..in other words.. i do everything right.. i make the copy of the mpq named mod and the exe, mgd save them as mod too..i add the mgd file to custom\ and then rename it (i hate that i have to rename it by the way) and now it says custom\mgpatch.mgd
now when i run the exe it says it's not there..when it is.., and i did the same thing with the other mpqs too...and nothing works.
3. dat editing doesn't work too...i simple modify the marine's hp to 2000 and shields to 100 and yes i check the box, add that .dat file to the mpq as arr\units.dat and run the mpq and does nothing...
the only thing i haven't tested yet it's iscripting...i'm going to go do that now
Yes, i CAN run other mods i've made and YES i CAN play other people's mod
and if you ask me...i have done everything exactly like the pinned tutorial says...like 17 times..just today..
In two words plus a smiley
Help Please

For the first problem, I'd check the .ral file which compiles the bmps. Check if you exceeded the size or something like that.

theres 3 things which I can think of that might be causing it
1. your patching it with memgraft when you have a differant version than the patcher (or a broken version of memgraft)
2. your memgraft or WinMPQ is messed up
3. when you did the .dat mod, if u used MPQDraft then your problems WinMPQ.
If you used Memgraft, then you need to test it with MPQDraft to see if the problem is memgraft or WinMPQ

That's the point... when i do with WINMPQ nothing happens when i try to run via Memgraft it says the custom\mgpatch.mgd isn't there..when it is there..
i tried 1.11b memgraft with 1.11b sc lol i know that..and 1.13e with 1.13e...I'm not making a mistake i just dont know what the hell happens!!

first off, don't cuss 
that narrows it down to another 3 possible problems (we already know your WinMPQ doesn't work)
1. your forgetting to put the modded mpq in starcrafts folder
2. your starcraft game is installed improperly
3. your computer is messed up, and you need to do a bunch of random scans (like virus and spyware)
and sorry but I just thought of another
4. starcrafts registery got corrupted somehow, you can fix this by reinstalling

I already uninstalled sc, intalled it, uninstalled it installed the spawn, uninstalled and installed it ...i even erased all the maps i had...
No im not forgetting to put my modded files in sc folder
no, sc is installed properly
i already did a lot of scans..symatec, panda and ad ware.
i already said i reinstalled sc...
is there some kind of detection that modding tools do say like: "omg corbo hasn't modded in 2 days let's all of us modding tools disable"
because that's the only thing that comes into my mind right now
i really want to mod!!!!
Oh yeah, i tested and nope, no mod i make works...i'm not doing anything wrong...and the weird thing is that i sent the mpqs to friends on msn, and they can't get it to work but they see the changes if they extract the files from the mpq...
I think im gonna cry *goes to corner, cries*

Hmm, maybe you should post the mpq for someone here to check.
