Is it possible to give the Zerg and Protoss a rank, like the Terrans have. You know where the Marine is, underneath it it sez private. In the .tbl pad you can see and edit the ranks, but i dont think you can do it for the Zerg and toss because they didn't exist in the first place so you can't edit them.

Is this true?

Edit: On a side note, does anyone know where the default iscript.Bin is located?

It's actually hard-coded into engine, being based of race, if I remember right. Meaning it takes a hex edit to make it work.

As for 'default', which one do you mean? There are 3:

StarDat.mpq - regular 1.00 starcraft vanilla, really buggy(as in blizz changed it a bit)
Broodat.mpq - broodwar 1.04 version, still not the newest
patch_rt.mpq - 1.13e version, this is the one you want.

As in where is it located in the computer. I'm still having problems making new things and saving the changes. I just figured if i keep on saving the changes (or keep trying to) to the default one, then i could just take it from wherever it is and stick in the scripts file for the mod.

Hmmm. I know how to extract the patch_rt.mpq, but how would i make it so this one is the default? Would it have less unkowns than the default one as well?

If you don't choose a file for Save As in IceCC, it saves under C:\IceCC\data\script\iscript.bin(I think.)

I say save it somewhere else, preferably already pathed in your mod's folder. I've found it easier that way.

Yeah i would too, but there's just one thing i can't seem to get over. I dunno if it has anything to do with Script 289 or the merging tickboxes. Its annoying as hell.

Rhino posted the solution somewhere but i cant find it!
