hey guys,

new here, im the dude working with anatolian for a starcraft mod for university.

we're sitting here modeling new units and taking screenshots... then we get to the bit where we have to mess around with GRP files.

the extraction of them and the manipulation is all fairly logical... I extracted broodat.mpq using winmpq and then preceded to extract the bmp's using retrogrp

but... where the hell are most of the unit GRPs?

the only ones i can find are in broodat/units and thats only the dark archon and corsair (in the protoss folder) (these are only the expansion units... where r the originals)

thanks
chum

Have a look in StarDat.mpq, or, if necessary, install.exe on your Starcraft CD.

Welcome on board! :-D

ive opened the following mpq's using winmpq:

stardat.mpq
broodwar.mpq (previously install.exe prior to patch 1.15.2)
patch_rt.mpq

patch_rt.mpq has no grp files of note (couple of grp's for spells)
broodwar and stardat.mpq are all full of (quote)

"unknowns\unknown_0000xxxx"

(i assume the 0000xxxx is hex stuff)

any ideas as to wat these are (they could be the unit GRPs just with no file name?) or where else to look for GRP files?

You'll need this. (http://www.starcraft.org/downloads/OtherFiles/ForDevelopers/Blizzard%20Listfile) Add it under Options>File Lists

Welcome aboard btw. :)
