It seems like it would give you an unfair advantage. For example, if you textured one unit to be completely white, you could instantly pick out that unit at a glance, whereas someone who didn't do that wouldn't be able to.

I don't see how this is legal.

You could texture ghosts to be bright yellow and your HT could easily pick them out for some feedback action, etc.

Ragdoll hax? :D Known from the time back in counterstrike time.

Should we illegal, but it looks good tho! Good job on it - protoss looks like they turned to the dark side, and zerg like zerg's evil twin brother, or something.

please don't judge this by the old super dark textures in the spoiler. Those are pics of the older version. I did lots of experiments trying out different textures and the download has the ones that i liked. Everything else(most of the textures in the old version that you see in the spoiler) have been removed. That spoiler is just there so you can see what it looked like before. So try it out before judging it to harshly, highly recommended.

I'm trying out the V3 textures now, looks great, especially Protoss in general and creep. Easy to install too, thanks for this thread.

One question; are the "new" dark textures merely the default textures but darkened, while the "old" V3 textures are more general improvements in graphic quality? In what way are the new ones better than the old ones?

Well in the latest one which im sure is the one you have, Most textures are unchanged from the original blizzard textures. For protoss, the only changes are the stalker, probe, and voidray i believe. While for zerg its a lot more like creep(super sweet), roaches, zerglings, queen, nydus worm, spawning poo, spine crawler/spore crawler, extractor and more(most changes are better team color while some like for the infester are just better textures(imo)). For terran, everything is unchanged from original blizzard textures.

Changing textures should be illegal/a bannable offense because it can be exploited and may give the user an advantage (mentioned early, make all opponent units very bright/visible). It may be only a slight advantage, but an advantage is an advantage.......

Use at your own risk...

Pretty sure model editing of any kind is illegal and bannable.

Well use it at ur own risk i guess. I see no harm in doing this, and Ive been changing and replacing textures since beta. I'm not cheating but i admit that imo my textures give more clarity for zerg at least. I'd say try it and see how much u like it, then decide whether the risk is worth it to u. Not a big risk imo, but then again, you never know!

let me guess you want to mod it so that you can see the observers and darktemplars like a hack? -_-

I don't think its possible. And by that i dont mean that its impossible to do in general, but it just doesnt seem possible simply by changing textures. I changed the dt's texture into something else, and it was indeed that texture that was used, but with cloak still in effect. So basically you would only see the texture once detected and even then it would be 50 percent see through like it is right now.

It's probably technically illegal. I wouldn't consider it cheating but i believe blizzard COULD give you trouble for it if they felt like it. I also use customized hotkeys though and i'm sure that could get me in just as much trouble. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Ill put that in the OP
