Hey you serious mappers i have a request. I seen scenarios and maps where the graphics for units are changed, theres a custom tech tree or the tech tree opens up as you progress, resource piles stacked on the same location, and every other fun thing you cannot do on staredit. I know you do this with custom made map editors but i cant find the ones that do all this. I want to know if anybody has these ultra-cool editors and is able to have me download it.

You have to use editors like SCXE and Starforge. You can get them from Campaign Creatons or Starcraft.org. To change the unit appearances though, you need to do some modding. I only do basic modding with Arsenal III, so you'll have to ask others for help on that.

Um, tech tree modding is definitely a memgraft thing. Unit appearance takes arsenal, retro grp, graphics editing software, and possibly iscript editing with IceCC.

he said this happens in the game on b.net and all that. i have played a game on b.net. I wasnt using a mod, yet, the wireframes were custom made, like smiley faces. and some units graphics were replaced, like i saw a boeing jumbo jet in it, I WAS NOT USING A MOD!!!

some of this might have been done using hex editor

This should be interesting. I've never in 6 years seen custom graphics on B.net without some sort of mod.
