Hi, i'm new there and I worked in mods for StarCraft many time ago, and I did a mod again, but I would like to place it mod in StarCraft.org Custom database. They do it? Or anyone here? Well....anyway, I'll put it:

StarCraft Balancer!
(for 1.14 version! Brood War!)
Changes:
-----------------------------------

• Food Cost decreased in factor of 1/2
Example: BattleCruiser -> original cost: 8; new cost: 4.
Scout -> original cost: 3; new cost: 1.5
SCV -> original cost: 1; new cost: 0.5


• All unit data was changed, trying to find a balance. Some changes:
- HP from buildings has increased a lot, in factor of .2,5(I think, don't remember) Some people asked for me why I did this and I answered: Imagine 5 marines with large guns that are very strong. Now imagine how would like be the size of an Barrack in real world (2 times a size of a pyramid?). Now imagine those 5 marines shooting at the pyramid trying to leveling it?!? This is absurd!
- Imagine it too... a man taking shot from a tank...now, actually he takes three shots to die??? Who is this? Sons of Superman?!? These funnies things have been fixed too. I'm tried to make StarCraft more realistic.
- Attack Penaltys have changed, like in Protoss Zealot in original data. The protoss zealot have a penalty of two attacks, their attacks are 8+8 atk, casting the total of 16 points. Now the Zerg Zerglings do it too, every thing with two cannons or two missiles do it too.
- I did not changed any resource and time cost. So do not worry, in this mod are not zerglings swarms with 4mins of game. I'm not trying to do any "Super Anything Patch" like "SuperTerrans".
- Every armor/weapon upgrade have now 5 upgrades and I did not changed the increase cost factor.
- Nuclear Missile now takes upgrade from Ship Weapons. I altered blast radius too.
- Protoss Templars have "Psi Attack" enabled (like Tassadar) and Zergs Defilers have "Venom" attack enabled too (like a Hero Defiler that I don't remember the name : p). But I do not know how to add 'Attack' flag button in the Interface. These attacks "Venom" and "Psi Attack" were exclusively from Templars and Defilers.
- Effect Radius from EMP Shockwave increased.
- Lockdown works in everything!
- All cast attacks like Feedback, Lockdown, EMP Shockwave, Stasis Field, have now energy cost decreased.

Aw yes, this works only if all players have this patch; I recommend to do a copy of your original Patch_rq.mpq found in your StarCraftBW directory, and place it new in the folder. If you want to play as normal StarCraft, just catch your original copy and replace it. It doens't work with ppl that doenst have the patch. Get disconnected automatically.

Well if you wanted to add the attack button for the templar and defilers you would have to use memgraft (which is outdated) but I suggest that wait for Firegraft to come out.

And I recomend that you put it in a self running EXE because what if some non-modder wanted to play this? They wouldn't know how to work MPQDraft.

Thanks for the tip about attk button; but I showed this so easy, is just place this .mpq in StarCraft folder, move or create a copy from original 'Patch_rt.mpq'. But 1 think that even being a non-modder, a guy that's looking for mods knows how to acess Folders and move, copy and delete files : ). Thanks, dozens views but one comment...



-------------------------------------------------


Well, I used the MemGraft (1.12b) and don't find anything about add buttons. Looks like that I can only edit.
Do you know how add modified data in this level (foodcost, change attks, sight radius from things, add high templar and defilers attks?) in a .scm, .scx. Isn't so simply lile add the "arr/datafiles.dat" to .scm/.scx files. Thanks.

this not only becomes unrealistic but imbalanced too

Sorry! I don't know what I said! I was wrong (was drunk, i dunno), men can survive more than two direct shots from a tank!(I cannot even being one)

Have you tested before say this!? If you play a melee game with ppl it gets fun. Really crowded, attks and explo all'round you have to quick to use the abilities from units. I did this as a StarCraft fan as I am. This is distimulator; but hope ppl test and have fun.

Balance > Realism for competitive play.

Besides, if you were underneath a giant dust shrowd, don't you think it'd be easier to spray your bullets and kill crap as opposed to having to attack it in hand to hand combat? (Talking about d-swarm)
