I found a way to open StarDat.mpq and see what it has! I downloaded MPQ Master from www.staredit.net (http://www.staredit.net) and opened it.You will find MPQ Master with "CV5".I also opened the INSTALL.EXE of the SC CD and guess.I found the scenarios of the original campaigns, the videos, and more.I am creating a mod that changes the original SC's campaigns (not BW's 'cause I have only the original SC).I also found in stardat the .grps and .lo*s of units and buildings.:D:D:D:D:D:D:_papple::smirk:I don't think I will be sad for the next 2 days even a milisecond!
At the risk of repeating myself here today... :P "So what else is new?"
You could've done the same thing with WinMPQ and simply followed the extraction tut' (http://www.stormcoast-fortress.net/cntt/tutorials/extracting/) (that already has been flashed 'round the 'Net a kazzilion times before). ;) But I'm glad that you finally found out how to take a peek at the game campaign maps... just through the editing angle. :)

Going to start modding now apostolos? Warboards actually needs more modders, since people wants a modding team.

I want to create a mod that makes zerg dinosaurs, terran prehistoric people and protoss travelers from the future.But, the problem is I can't draw well enough to change the .GRPs.I am making also a mod that changes the scenario.CHKs of the campaign maps.I made in the "First Strike" the zerg unable to build nothing and gave us 2 or 3 carriers full of interceptors (8 intercep.) and had "Carrier Capacity" researched from the beggining.I also made Fenix invincible! And I tested it and there was no problem.:) Before I patched my SC to v1.13e I copied SC's folder once it contained SC v1.00 and tested the mod again in v1.00 and there was no problem, too!:D For the first mod I want to create, I need a good drawer and... I don't remember what else right now.I'll edit when I remember.I am getting a modding team is something you can say.The mod has to be in 2 versions.The Original SC that hasn't got changed lurker,devourer and all BW unit .grps changed and is from StarDat.mpq and BW version that uses all unit animations changed and is from broodat.The protoss mustn't have changed .grps.

I'll write it in questions.
1.Do you want to join my team?
2.Are you good at drawing?
The others were just notes and things you haven't to do at all.To tell the truth, even I don't understand what my post said.I knew 'cause I wrote it that's why.

You mean mod?
No, he means expansion... You see, a few people have decided that they should create a new expansion for SC until SC 2 is born... It will have new units (possibly even water, IDK), new heroes, scenarios, building, tilesets, cinematics, EVERYTHINGS... Project is scheduled for 1 year and a half... Sons of War is the Protoss campaign, the first one... But they're keeping everything on a secret website and won't give us the link...:concern:

Yes our little secret project.
I should probably keep my mouth shut about details too so have fun.
Ok, this thread has gone from nowhere to nowhere :P
Btw, legally, it may be better to refer to it as a mod. However, if you make sure it's known that it's an unofficial expansion, you should be ok.
