The Itsy-bitsy Spider

[MrMer]

How can you add spider mines for a unit? I added the button in StarGraft, and it showed upin the game, grayed-out because I had not researched it yet. When I researched it however, the button disapeared. This is what happens to the vulture when it runs out of spider mines, so I think that my unit merely had 0 mines. More to the point, does anyone know how to change the number of mines a unit has?

Wow... Spider mines on other units... How modding has become so advanced... I can't wait to see this finished, but no, I'm not really sure. I believe your theory, though, about having no mines is true. I would suspect to check the vulture's stuff, and then check it against other units, if it's anything like Arsenal III (Yea, I don't mod much, but I felt like replying), you can figure out what special properties it has, and check that box. That should work.

The only properties that the Vulture has different from the marine is "Hover" "Mechanical" "Sight Range" and other obvious things like attack and graphics. None of theese matter.
I have thought of an alternate solution, so here's another two questions:
1) Can I change the Wire Frame of Jim Raynor (Vulture) to that of a Marine?
2) Can I also change the little build picture and the picture in group selection to a Marine?
3)Can I also change the Voice to that of a marine?

Did you hit the Post Reply button more than once?

I might have *stupid AOL*

The reason the spder mine button dissapears from the marine once you've researched it is because the requirements for spider mine are that the current unit has to be a terran vulture. just go into the rewuirements section of stargraft and change the current unit must be > Terran vulture to current unit must be > Terran marine

I had already changed the requirements to use the Spider Mine abillity, and I looked for the requirements for the actual unit. I could not find them, and I don't think that they are there.

but i cant find the .gpr files You can find almost everything in a very nice list file ar Starcraft.org. It is in the customs/rescources page, way at the bottom.

If your having the same grp problem i did a while ago, i know exactly what to do. so you open stardat.mpq in winMPQ and its almost all unkowns right? well, once you have the listfile, you go to options, listfiles (in winMPQ looking at stardat of course) and add starcraft.txt (name of stardat listfile)

I would attach it, but its too big. go to starcraft.org to find it.

i found it, but the only .gpr is the medics

over 220 different pics.... i got long work ahead of me if i can even get it done!

Yeah, this is why I decided not to do the graphics part of my mod, because I suck at graphic editing, and no one offered there help after a month of looking for help on multiple web sites

In short, I stopped becaus I suck at graphic editing and no one out of what, 2000 people and counting offered to help!

Dont worry though, im definetely still going to be doing the iscript buttons etc. parts of my mod.

Good luck if you really plan to do unit graphic editing.
