Please be more specific. Read the sticky and follow the instructions it gives. If that doesn't work, tell us exactly what you're doing. Some common mistakes include:

1) Naming units.dat/weapons.dat/etc. something other than their default name.

2) Not placing .dat files in the arr\ directory of the MPQ.

Make sure you've done everything as the tutorial describes it, and then get back to us.

I've never realy tried finding a tutorial on this since it's real simple

1) Edit your stats.
2) Goto SaveAs(Unless you opened a moded one already) and save (THEY MUST HAVE ORIGINAL NAMES!!!)
3) Open WinMPQ
4) Open your .mpq file and import them in.
5) Open MPQDraft

For an .exe file:
6) Click "Create self executeing mpq"
7) Enter custom name. On the input one click browse and fine your .mpq file. On output, thats just where it's saved, no need to explain that.
8) Click next and click SC in top SC in bottom
9) Click next, make sure add-on is ticked then finish.

just to run it (mainly for test):
6) click "Load MPQ Patch"
7) Select SC in top and bottom
8) Browse for you MPQ if not done so already. If you have already make sure u ticked it.
9) Make sure add-on is ticked then finish, SC will open so on.

Oh, just to let you know you MUST go in a non UMS, unless you make the map useing a editor created via MPQDraft and your mod.

I reaqly hope that helps happy.gif.
