MPQ Editing is not endorsed by Teamliquid nor is it recommended as Blizzard actively takes steps to stop and prevent it.

Be warned and do this at your own peril.

Lol, you think, if I will draw on picture 9999 achievement points, it will be real achievement points? It's only picture, so on the server there will be still 2380 achivement points (real number).

Same for any other numbers... there are only standart PICTURES, and how players can cheat with changing standart graphical picture... I can't understand

as a dude who did alot of War3 modding, changing MPQ pictures won't do the game any harm at all

Unless you majorly fuck up (ie clicking on wrong file and deleting it forever hurr durr) there is really no risk in doing this


irregardless
it will not stop any anti-cheat measure blizzard implements from looking at your MPQ files and noticing they are modified. writing you off as a cheat and banning your account.


I changed my War3: Frozen Throne main screen into Warcraft 3 Beta main screen changing the MPQ files around

didnt even get banned for 4 years. And they werent even pictures, they were MDX files

edit: Though if I wasn't lazy, I would've just changed the whole thing by removing all the snow on the buttons/chains too

then go for it. i dont care. im just warning you.
not sure if it was blizzard or just a rumor that blizzard was going to use warden from world of warcraft for starcraft 2

if they did that warden wouldn't care. it'd detect modified MPQ files and ban you.

so yea. if blizzard never implement an anti-cheat system. i guess your perfectly safe. change whatever you want.

Maybe being able to change the background is something Blizzard could look into (gaining new backgrounds ala icons depending on league wins etc, just for fun).

MPQ files can be edited with Ladik's MPQ editor: http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html

The file that was changed in the MPQ is called "c9a309d4dd98195a94c061fb6e4a698c9668740c.dds". I tried extracting the file and placing it next to the MPQ but that doesn't work (this used to work for wow?).

I think you should be able to edit dds file with photoshop and some nvidia plugin, but i'm not into graphics so no clue about that.

Hope this helps anyone

For the ppl that say "but its only pictures" Blizzard doesn't care what do you do..
fact stays the same, you are modifying your files wich is illigal.
Does it hurt anyone and does it gives an unfair advantage? no
Is it on the same lvl as maphacks/other cheats? hell no
But the thing is, they can't know what you modified unless they will check every single part in every MPQ file for every PC with starcraft 2 installed wich is basicly impossible.
So they go the possible route and say "changing your files = bad"

Yes. They need to replace the loading screen of Raynor's head with something better. I absolutely hate floating heads, seen enough of them on movie covers
Replace it with a Siege Tank surrounded by roaches, or something

What i meant was that it is not possible to have the new background without changing the MPQ by placing the changed file in the correct directory structure. I think this works for WoW, but it doesn't for SC2.

I tried because i really love the image, but i don't want my account banned ;-)

Probe picture is good, but not edited into Battle.Net style (slighty blue borders, no aditional logos (like starcraft 2 logo right bottom), more shadow, etc)

ok i know its illegal but, how can they now I did it so my account must be the banned one?
What if my friend did this and i just played at his PC but i didnt do it, they cant ban you if they dont know the account owner. They could be sued for that
my life for pylo!
