ok i opened up memgraft, loaded in the tbl file. So then i go to the buttons tab and click on dark archon. i click on the list and add a new button. i call it attack and i have its place as 3 (like all attack buttons). i have cause or whatever its called as 'unit has a weapon' and the effect is 'attack'. then i save and put it in the arr file in my custom folder. but when i use mpqdraft to boot up my custom, the dark archon doesnt have the attack button. Is there something special i need to do in memgraft for the dark archon?
i dont think this matters but it does have an assigned attack.
Did you follow these steps for running MemGraft patches?
64. Go to the "Misc." tab.
65. In the text field called "patch_rt.mpq", replace "\patch_rt.mpq" with "\eye.mpq".
66. Go back to the "Main" tab and click "Save Release".
67. Save mgpatch.mgd and eye.exe in your testmod6 folder.
68. Close MEMGraft 1.12b.
69. Open WinMPQ. Open patch_rt.mpq in your Starcraft folder.
70. Go to Tools>MPQ Embedder
71. Go to File>Open, and open patch_rt.mpq in your Stacraft folder.
72. Click "Save MPQ" and save as "eye.mpq" in your testmod6 folder.
73. Close the MPQ Embedder and open up eye.mpq that you saved last step.
74. Add units.dat and techdata.dat saved in steps 4 and 14 with arr\ as the prompt.
75. Add mgpatch.mgd saved in step 58 with custom\ as the prompt.
76. Close WinMPQ.
77. Go to your testmod6 folder. Copy eye.exe and eye.mpq into your Starcraft folder.
78. Run eye.exe and have fun with the SCVs. After 78 steps, you deserve it!
Are you running Starcraft 1.12b?
my broodwar version is 1.13a. thats what it says when i run the memgraft patch. but isnt memgraft kinda old? I thought MpqDraft was better than memgraft in making patches. also, i cant run the memgraft patch anyways because i dont have version 1.11b
anyways, i went through all those steps. Dark Archon still has no attack button.
By the way, whats the entire tutorial (not the last part you posted) supposed to do?
MemGraft 1.12b, which you are undoubetly using, only works with Starcraft 1.12b. Unless they put out a 1.13 MemGraft and I haven't heard

You're probably confusing a different pair of programs. MPQDraft and MemGraft are two completely different programs that have barely any overlapping features. That makes it very hard for one to make the other obsolete.
maybe. i just thought memgraft made its own patches because it made an .exe file that runs starcraft when activated. thx for clearin my confusion.
anyways this dark archon with no attack button is getting real annoying, since its one of the few units that have no attack but yet has an attack script, and i want to use that to my advantage.
so is there another button editor program i could use? or am i stuck forever?
You're stuck until someone comes-up with a new version of Memgraft or some similar program.

Actually Your Not Stuck.
All U Have To Do Is Add A Weapon To The Dark Archon, And Run The Mpq.

Heh But I Dont Know Which Order To Give It In Arsenal 3

Sorry
