Well i need help getting the modding programs down, and i have a planned mod in progress. It changed HP Stats, weapon effect, and speed. It may add a few new units as well.





GLOBAL MODIFICATIONS:::

-Missiles actually explode
-You see most bullets as they fire
-More to Come

Vulture: Autocannon Machine Gun, Speed Increased, Extremely fast fire rate. Decreased Sight Range. New weapon sounds. Shielding Disabled.

Siege Tank <Mobile>: Single Barrel, Launches Photon missile, Lightly faster fire rate, Light Shielding enabled, More range, more Sight. New Sounds. Can carry troops like an APC.

Siege Tank <Siege>: Launches Spread missiles, Wraith Gemini Launch Sound, Farther Range (its artillery ) Decreased fire rate.

Goliath: Faster Fire Rate, Launches Machine-Gun rated missiles for A.A. More explosion added due to hellfires being inside.

Science Vessel: Some type of Laser Beam for Ground, Gemini Missile AA, Slower.

Battlecruiser: Missile Machine Gun AA, Rapid Fire Glave Wurm towards ground, Slower, explodes more. Three explosions one second apart from another, then a large one that wipes the battlecruiser out.

Bomber: Low Attack Range, Fast, Destructive Bombs, Slow-Firing missile for AA

Attack Jeep: Machine Gun, Can hold 3 people. A little slower than a speed upged vulture.

Plachopper: A combination between an airplane and a chopper. Minigun ground attack and Gemini missiles AA attack.


<I will add protoss and zerg later, this is mainly a terran upg.>

Sounds interesting and more advanced than most first mods. Usually people don't go into flingy on their first mod...I like your dedication. And adding an attack to the dropship? Quite impressive. As mods go overall, it's not too impressive, but for a first try, it's pretty good.

I wish you good luck with this mod. But be sure to make the units balanced, and if you wish to add more units, look at a tutorial or ask someone who knows SG/MG enough ot help you(Myself,Agamemnom,and Voyager may be most likley avaible for Grafting help). ALso, will you be adding diffrent graphics to the units?

Adding units can be done... All you have to do is replace existing un-used ones. Like neutrals, heros, etc.

Anyways, looks really fun actually. I await it's production.

Definatly sounds good for a first MoD, just remember the Modding Assistance forum is your best friend!! And for alot of those affects you said you want to do, will require Iscript.bin edits so you might want to start trying to learn that. I highly suggest you learn IceCC not Ice, use Ice if all else fails with IceCC.

Sounds cool. Im a new modder too, but my first mod is currently at .39. Check it out for some ideas or whatever, and i know a bit about dat modding if for any reason you get stuck (Cant see why as its one of the easiest things in the world but whatever.). Its good to see the number of modders is increasing.

To all who are critisized me; i mean i'm making most changes to terran, protoss and zerg will actually be edited.

Usually, Terran owns Zerg. Protoss owns Terran. Zerg owns Protoss. I'm going to try to make it so it depends on skill, not race.



EDIT: Don't worry about ICE. My father is one of the top 1000 programmers in the world; he can change a siege tank into a reaver in 2 seconds if he wanted to. He'll help me

Wow, maybe he can edit starcraft complete too.

When did that start? I've owned Protoss as Terran plenty of times. Same with the other relationships. Where are you getting this?...

I second that.

I've smashed many players and have been smashed by many players with the opposite of those comparisons.

Oh.
It isnt like that for you?
Well it is for me. I need winrar, as i just found out, and i can start on the mod.

www.rarlab.com to download winrar

Good luck, you are following a path many have given up on

Actually, i can use DATEDIT really well now.
O_o

I just new to other programs. Thanks for the RAR.

Yeah, IceCC was a huge pain in the arse for me to learn. Luckily I don't use it much.

I'm having technical difficulties, and the unit list is not correct; considering i'v found a far better arsenol then what i thought it had.

I cant find the files on WinMPQ for some reason.

Chances are you need a listfile.

Listfile?

Yeah. It uh gets rid of a bunch of the uh 'unknowns' by giving them the proper filenames.

I think you can download one off this site somewhere, anyways, when you have one, to add it you go into WinMPQ and go...

Options> then go to the File Lists tab and add the list you just downloaded.

I extracted the VB files, but when i try to use my 'Add' Feature, the Units.Dat folder name pops up, i type in arr/ like what Idontchat told me to do, and then all of a sudden it says 'Runtime Error - 453. Specified DLL not found' or something along the lines of that.
