Under normal circumstances I'd say "Use Firegraft, Memgraft is archaic." but you'd probably get annoyed at me and defend Memgraft for some strange reason.

So, let's see...

I typed in this:

Clicked the first option in the list, which is this:

And came to this conclusion:

Saving your changes


Well, assuming you did everything right, remembered to update each item, update the button count, made all REQs as they should be and so on, it's time to get this baby on the road. We'll go to the "Misc" tab. In the "Patch_RT.mpq" textbox type the name you wish your MPQ to have. Please, avoid spaces and long names. Try to not go over 10 or 12 for best aesthetics.

In this example, we'll originally call it "Example.mpq". Oh, notice you need the \ before the filename. Don't forget that.

Now, go to the first tab, the one called "Main". Click "Save Release". ALWAYS call the mgd file "mgPatch.mgd". ALWAYS. (not case sensitive). If you call it "MyMod.mgd" or "SuperMod.mgd" or anything other than "mgpatch.mgd" it won't work.

Now select an EXE name, which can be anything, but again, keep it simple. Yes, you can use spaces here.

One last step before we're ready to test... Open WinMPQ and add the "mgPatch.mgd" file in a new folder called "Custom\". To add it, simply drag&drop it on the filelist. So the MG data file must ALWAYS be called "mgpatch" and must ALWAYS be placed in the "Custom\" folder (remember the trailing backslash). Once this is done, you're ready to test it. Just make sure the registry points to your modded SC exe (1.11b, 1.12b or 1.13e, depending on what MG version you used). Remember that if you want to test my ASM example you MUST use SC 1.13e. If you use MG with other version apart from the ones I enumerated, it'll crash.

Enjoy!

Isn't google so cool?
