So yesterday I was just expiramenting some units in a mod and when ever I built
a firebat starcraft crashed. Maybe it was because i changed its weapon.
And also when I started the mod again without building the bat the game crashed 3mins later. All the other units have other attacks besides the beta ones but
when I changed the portrait for marine to zerg egg (trying to make the terrans look infested like) and also for the ghost I changed it to some extra called peter.
(might be beta's portrait) How can I fix this. Also I'm using ArsIII but I downloaded
that other modding program that most people said was better.

Try again using DatEdit, and be a bit more detailed with what you've changed.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Peter is a valid portrait (ie it crashes)

Cant be more specific then this.
1 Unit portaits changed to "Peter" (sounds beta)
Firebat has twin autocannons no changed portait but crashes when built
Marines portait is "egg" but the portrait is fuzzed
Also Scvs attack is Gols Hellfire attack but I changed the flag to air only but when a scv attacks a ground unit it crashes.

...Are you editing a beta version of starcraft?

I think he means that wants to have a unit use the "Peter" portrait from the beta, but as I said, I'm pretty certain that Peter crash SC.

Were did you get that from? Well I scrapped that mod I was working on and started a new one. Also I said "sounds beta" is because Peter seemed like a beta unit but I think you have to downgrade or something to see it but it crashes the game.

I don't think there was a Peter in the Beta MPQs either. Most likely just something Blizzard thought of adding in once (an independent unit, I assume), but never got around putting into the MPQs. In other words, all that's left of Peter and Boskk and their folks is their entries in stat_txt.tbl - no graphics.

These were supposed to be independent heroes that could be hired for money in the game. They abandoned it for SC and put into WC3 later on.
