everytime i change what a unit looks like with retro grp, and than i try to edit the animations and stuff in ICE XP the unit still looks the same as the blizzard picture

if I have to do something to the iscript than can someone plz tell me how?
I'm new to this stuff

atleast u got that far cuz i cant get the units 2 change looks usin retrogrp but even if i hav no knowledge of that i think its iscript but other wise w8 till som1 else better than me posts

ok thx than...

so ur asking is about displaying changed grp in ICE,ICE-XP right?
(whatever Acutaly ice and ice XP is same program)

ok then, i'd tell u about formula to display which grp of StarCraft
first off, ice load grp picture from ur local MPQ file it's patch_rt.mpq
and u can load optional grp file by set CWAD file

to display changed grp file, u should put grp into patch_rt.mpq or ur CWAD file which u'd like use

if u don't use CWAD file just put in patch_rt.mpq

ex : changed marine grp file goes to "Units\terran\marine.grp" in MPQ
then u'll see that changed marine picture

if u'll use CWAD file, do same way as above into CWAD file
CWAD file is the format for StarDraft-SE which old modding tool
so that CWAD file just use for see grp file with ICE-XP

i suggest just put in patch_rt.mpq if u want see with ICE-XP

GL~!

i dont get it I thought i was supposed to open .bin files in ICE not .mpq files

ICE can load iscript.bin file from ur local MPQ file
and grp file either from StarDat,Broodat,patch_rt.mpq

but if u set load from CWAD then u'll see picture from CWAD without MPQ

it really depends on what your doing cause if your just changing the looks and not adding actions you wont need to open bin files

now to edit grp files you get them out of the mpq file open them with retro grp then write them out as bitmaps edit as you please then compile them back as a grp then remove the original grp from the mpq and put the new one in.

Thats how you change the images

to give a unit a attack or something that doesnt normally attack youde have to do what i just told you and then add that new image that you just added to the grp into the bin file using ice.

that should cover what you need for now good luck
