Hopefully blizz's art team wouldnt consider this as an insult for their hard work.


they probably want us to do this and thats why they made it so easy to exchange textures. Simply placing inside and out of a folder.

Great stuff, those look way better, removing the children's toy look that the originals manage.

I think the "cracks" in the Terran buildings makes them look more like they are made out of some kind of rock as opposed to metal.

Please choose both complaints.

1. The graphics are too pastelish and bright!
2. The graphics aren't distinguished enough so I can't tell which team I'm on!

Repeat.

Fixed.

I still don't fully understand complaining about brightness. BW must have been unbearable; sc2 is way more muted.

Is it possible for anyone to upload a non-edited .mpq file? I was stupid and didn't back it up and I don't want to reinstall if I decide I don't like it.


Can anyone do me a solid?

Wow... This looks much MUCH better. It looks less like warcraft 3 and more like starcraft.

I think it's important to keep in mind that Blizzard intentionally down-grades the graphic for multiplayer to make it easier to distinguish units. That's why the portal of warp gate is simple, otherwise it becomes a mesmerizing beacon.
This road isn't leading anywhere...

Thanks a lot man!


ughhh i uploaded it to megaupload and now it says that you have to be a premium member to dl it..... after so many hours..... sorry man. But hey look, im assuming you edited your mpq file with the old steps that i posted and didnt back it up so what i did was i uploaded the original protoss textures so all you have to do is download it, put it in your mpq following the old steps and bam you got the original mpq file. And then just add the textures that you want with the new instructions: simply put them in your Starcraft II Beta/Assets/Textures folder. No mpq editor required.

Let me know if you have problems

Very nice. Thanks for the work on Terra! With what kind of programms did you change the textures? A little beginners guide would be great.

i notice that this works because it creates a better contrast in the team colors. blizzard should make note of that

OP, you should try to analyze what's wrong with the official textures. The team color contrast is a start.

The cracks really make the Terran buildings look like they're made of stone. I don't like it very much.

I really doubt this, its the beta so things like this may be left open but I'm pretty sure they will make it harder to do as the game goes out. WoW model editing for example was very easy to do in the beginning but they modified the files all the time to make it harder for the exploiters to do.
