Mind telling us what file it is that's not found, it's most like Visual Basic Runtimes

Man I did the Scv mod 3 times and still didnt work. All the programs are installed there and I did all the steps right and it still won't work.

Would you mind telling us exactly what didn't work?

Well I did what the guide says.

0. Make sure you have all the required programs installed on your computer

1. Open Arsenal III. Go to Unit Editor. Find Terran>Ground Units>Terran SCV

2.
a) Enter the number 1000 in the "HP" box.
b) Check the check box next to "Shields" and put 1000 in the Shields box.
c) Change the SCV's gound weapon to "C-10 Canister Rifle"

3. Go to File>Save As. Save your file in C:\Program Files\Starcraft\testmod\units.dat
WARNING: You must save this as units.dat, not any other file name

I did all that and I saved it as units.dat

4. Close Arsenal III.

5. Open WinMPQ. Go to File>New and save as scv.mpq.

6. Click "add" and find your units.dat you saved in step 3. WinMPQ will prompt your for an input. Type arr\ and hit ENTER.

7. Close WinMPQ.

8. Open MPQDraft and go to "Load MPQ Patch". Select "Starcraft" from "Programs" and "Starcraft" from "Components"

9. Click Next. Press "Browse for MPQs" and find SCV.mpq that you saved in step 5.

10. Click next, then Finish.

11. Starcraft will start. Play any melee map as Terran and marvel at your 1000hp 1000 shield SCVs with rifles.

5. I saved it as scv.mpq.
6. I did type in arr\ just that

11. I started it after I click finished. Went to single player. Played a melee match but it was still the same.

How do you do that?

In "Add reply" use the "Add attachment" button...

Woops what I meant to say is how could the MPQ make a zip when in the tutorial it says just press start.

i just told you all i know...
the problem is i dont know whats not found...

well, there's only 2 files I can think of that's required by WinMPQ, that's Visual Basic Runtimes and SFmpq.dll (included with it)

ADDITION: I updated my iscript 'Editing Info' file, I recently made a very big update to it so I'd sugguest re-downloading it.

here it is:
[attachmentid=20710]

y dont u make a datedit tortual

A) How can you not figure out how to use Datedit?

B) Check out the first part of the tutorial in this thread. It explains how to make a mod using Arsenal III or DatEdit, which are basically the same thing except that DatEdit's much more godly. I don't see the need for such a thing as a DatEdit tutorial.

LA is right. Any Arsenal3 tutorial should work correnctly under DatEd, you just need to replace the word 'Arsenal3' with 'DatEdit'

In addition to changing the word from Arsenal III to DatEdit, you need to have a fully functional brain,
capable of being able to figure out which tabs certain settings where moved to.

As said, I hardly see a need for a DatEdit tutorial but more in-depth information about the different properties in the *.dat-files is no bad idea. Some of them are quite funky While the Hints are the best thing to ever happen, they still don't explain as thoroughly as is possible...

SCU, anyone?

Yes.

Theres like very little changes to datedit. So, no.

Bah... Someone mind telling me why I get the "Error loading from file" message from TblPad?

Everytime I try to run tblpad, that message shows up.

Have you extracted Star_txt.tbl from Broodat.mpq or Stardat.mpq?

You have to open a stat_txt.tbl file. If the error shows right when you open TBLPad, re-download it.

The error shows up as soon as I double click TblPad. I tried downloading it from other sites, but got the same results. Am I doing something wrong?

Very wierd... what type of computer are you using?

Edit: Problem solved. Had to download two files to get it to run.

if only datedit has groups like terran buildings and all terran in the terran group like A3... else its the best dat editing program... hard to use because very messy... at the unit tab ><

In DatEdit, simply go to View -> Sort by Origin

Wierd. I dont remember downloading to files for myself...
