Anyone who has played SC since it came out (and is still playing now) should know who Vinzalf is, and how he made some crazy patches for staredit and such. In his map called Kyprion Pact, I vaguely remember a vulture in that having an inanimate picture of a guy. As I am writing this, I think there was simply a different bonus vulture that had that particular picture (like Aldaris and Dugalle). But does anyone else remember this, and how to recreate it?
I believe this was removed in the gold/emerald/platinum versions, but existed in 1.6. And of course, after everyone got new hard drives and computers, they simply let this map die off, and Vinzalf has either layed low for half a decade, or just not bothered with anymore Starcraft.

Unit portraits are not stored in starcraft maps, nor are there any refences to them. You must be thinking of a mod.

That was the guy who was going to be the terran advisor. He was eventually replaced by the woman with the spinning metal bands around her head.
As carlsagan said, this cannot done without mods. The change you described was incredibly simple and elementary knowledge to anyone who has done some modding.

Are mod maps playable on battle.net, even if you haven't downloaded the mod that allows you to do such a thing?

No, but you said this was several patches ago though, so perhaps back then there was a method for changing the portrait, but if there was, it doesn't work any more.

I believe it was before 1.04. I wish I had the map again, though I imagine it would crash or something with 1.13.

If you are going to replace unit portaits you will need to make a whole new mod of starcraft.

To some extent, yes. You can make a graphics mod and play it on Battle.net but it will only be visible to yourself. I presume this effect was achieved due to the fact that on of these units existed before it was taken out in a patch.

I don't understand your word usage sickoe_DT.
Rockz, the answer to your last question was answered a little while ago. Read the thread again.

Yeah, my wording was a little off on my last question. What I meant to say was "can I have that particular vampire rpg so I can view the aforementioned coffins?"
And Sickoe_DT_ was saying this:
"I'll be sure to locate this map if it is needed so we can find out how to change pictures. Please give me time, as I have more than 3000 unsorted maps on 5 different hard drives. I will find it.
Since there are many people who seem to think this has been patched, I sure hope I find this map.
I'm your only hope, man"Hopefully that will clear things up a bit.
If anyone else has one of these maps, I would love to see it, especially the Kyprion Pact map, since mine got deleted ages ago.
