Hopefully these questions won't be too hard to answer.
1. How do you create a new game type? I saw a while back a mod that introduced a new game type "Zerg Civil War", where all Zerg players started with 4 drones, 1000 minerals and no hatcheries. (Obviously the victory/defeat conditions were altered also)
How can this be done?
2. Another question involves map extensions. The mod AvPCraft (tc.brutrkrieg.de) only regconized maps with the extension .avp. Regular SCXE recgonizes them as SC BW maps. How is this possible?
3. My third question is, using the useweaponcommand, P12 units are forced to use a weapon. The problem is, they don't TARGET anything, they just hit the top left of the map. How can I force a unit to target something, or is it impossible?
- Thanks for the help!
ADDITION:
Just a teeny bump.

1. The program is called GotEd. It allows you to edit the .got files which are the game types. I think it only allows editing not adding.
2. The creator probably changed the normal extensions to avp from scm/scx. I don't know how he changed the mod to allow only that. I might find out if I knew where the mod can be downloaded.
3. It's impossible since P12 is neutral and does not attack.

1. Thanks. 
2. AvPCraft: http://tc.brutkrieg.de/tc/tc_dl.php?dl=5
3. Hmm... I guess I'll try to find away around that.

I looked at it for a few seconds. It's just some simple hex editing to starcraft.exe it uses so that game only reads avp. He replaced all the scm and scx to avp. He changed what mpq it reads using StarExeHack. One thing I find the most interesting is the use of StarGraft along with a modified starcraft.exe.
