I'm using DatEdit to modify the .dat files and all have worked well except an SCV with a flamethrower weapon. I give it a flamethrower and it won't use it... WHY? 
so confusoosled
is it hardcoded...hardwired (no idea what ya'll call it) or sumtin?

The flamethrower weapons is rather unique. First of all, the graphic is created in the Iscript.bin file. Plus, the script uses it differently than normal, creating the damaging weapon 3 times(it's invisible...)
All in all, the Flamethower is about the 2nd hardest weapon to make another unit use, and you need to be fairly Iscript proficient before trying it.

The reason is that the Flamethrower graphic is an overlay in the iscript, not an actual graphic.
If you want to have the SCV use the flamethower, you have to add this line to its GndAttkInit animation with IceCC.
EDIT: DoA snuck that reply in when I was decompiling the iscript!

Voy, you mean to tell me you don't have a complete original decompiled iscript handy?
