Ah man IceCC isnt working for me for some reason. I managed to get the compiler and decompiler mode working but the other part wont start up. I went through the whole of the installing instructions part and It still wont load up. I also replaced the iscripts the both of them with the new updated ones but it still wont run.

I went back and redid all that, then I deleted the old techdata.dat in eye.mpq, then put the new one in, I got exactly the same results as before.

I'll attach the mod

Damn, error



Maybe I could e-mail the mod...

EDIT: I created a map with those spells researched, and a ghost, a dark archon, a comsat station, and some SCVs. The SCVs spells were no longer greyed out, but it was still missing scanner sweep. Both of the spells crashed SC, which was somewhat expected,(you even said it yourself) but I still have the problem of them not being researched by default. And I triple checked the techdata.dat all the spells do say researched.

Laser_Dude, it sounds like you haven't set up the Tech Use requirements properly. Can you tell us what the Scanner Sweep's entry looks like?

It should be something like this:

hmmm, this is weirding me out, I opened up tech use requirements for scanner sweep. The code looked like it's a stim pack or something. The units are all like "terran marine" "Terran Firebat" Gui Montag, SCV is at the end... but the scanner sweep was working on the comsat station when I loaded the mod.

EDIT: wait a second, there are two entries labeled scanner sweep, I don't know why. The second one looks right, comsat station, I'll change that one.

EDIT: I think I might have accidentally changed stim packs to scanner sweep.(Maybe by using the list under the tabs instead of the list at the left ) Upon changing it back the way I think it was before, and changing scanner sweep to allow SCVs to use it, scanner sweep worked perfectly, and I tried to kill a zerg base with my SCVs.(Stupid overlords!!) scanning all over. Unfortuneately, my lockdown and mealstrom were still greyed out, even though it was checked researched in stargraft. Perhaps I should take another look at it.

EDIT AGAIN: I changed the req types to always, and they seemed to go fine, but there's still the matter of making techs pre-researched, which I need to learn to do.

EDIT, I HOPE THIS IS THE LAST ONE: your hotkey for scanner sweep doesn't work, since it uses the same hotkey, "s", as the stop command.

And the req var and action var links don't work, could you (or someone else) please explain what they are, what they are for or what they do? If someone wants to try modding they're going to get stuck here.

Excuse me, but i have a Q on modding.

I followed your directions to play a mod, but SC keeps crashing and saying something like "problem w/ flingysomething"

PLZ HELP ME IM GETTING REALLY CONFUSED

Sigh...be more specific. That number that you're not including (the filngy number) is the most vital part.

I reiterate the mantra of people who try to help new modders:

We can't help you if we don't know what your problem is

So please be more specific.

ok this is the complete error mesage i get every time i try to load the mod:


Starcraft was unable to open a required file. If this problem persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling Starcraft using the program "SETUP.EXE" on the Starcraft CD-ROM.


(now the part u wanted from me in the first place)


The problem occurred while trying to load a file

unit\thingy\dbl
The system cannot be specified.

i hate my comp....

plz me

Tutorial is good and works... but i can't download UED77's listfile from sc.org

Where i can find UED77's listfile?

http://www.zezula.net/download/listfiles.zip

Someone should update the tutorial so people who are new to modding don't spend forever looking for outdated listfiles.
