But it also overwrote everything else, all textures sounds ... everything. and it overwrote it with nothing, since i hadnt put any other files in it, so everything was just placeholders. How do i fix so it only replaces what i actually try to replace? | ||

2) Replace the nydus worm sounds with a sound of you screaming "NYDUS WORM MOTHERFUCKER" lol. That should give you a nice advantage^^ It's not my fault. If you will do it, so u will be bad guy. Now Blizzard maybe closes eyes to this thing, that allow ADD files instead replacing original. Couldn't you just replace the stealth texture with something that's a solid color instead of clear? There are only unit body/model texture. No reason, it's pink or got increased brightness or red dots around. Unit model with stealth cannot be seen by player, no reason, what texture it has. Holy crap EXPLOITABLE Why? We don't change game client. We don't modify MPQ. | ||

I tried this, by adding a sound for nydus birth. That worked!! But it also overwrote everything else, all textures sounds ... everything. and it overwrote it with nothing, since i hadnt put any other files in it, so everything was just placeholders. How do i fix so it only replaces what i actually try to replace? Put files into highter priority folder. Example. Liberty.SC2Mod contains zergling sound. Then put new zergling sounds into LibertyMulti, because last one has bigger read priority | ||

Can this be used to change the background of the main SC2 bnet screen without violating the TOS? I don't know, where bnet screen placed in game resourses and don't want to change it. It's ok now  TOS = modifying MPQ. Did you see here any MPQ editing? | ||

But it also removed all other textures / sounds / everything. How do i make it so that it doesnt replace everything else? ( i did put it in libertymulti folder as you said) | ||

( i did put it in libertymulti folder as you said) Did you created other folders? You must have ONLY that foldera, that contains new files. This one is for Zerg Advisor file adding \ StarCraft II \ Mods \ LibertyMulti.SC2Mod \ enGB.SC2Assets \ LocalizedData \ Sounds \ ZergUnitVO \ Queen \ *placenewfileshere* Does this mean i can change all my zerg units to sound like BW units? i rly want the old overlord & zergling sounds back :D Yes, you can. | ||

I only created the folders leading into the nydus sound: "StarCraft II\Mods\LibertyMulti.SC2Mod\base.SC2Assets\Assets\Sounds\Zerg\NydusWorm\NydusWorm_Birth0.wav" | ||

eventually they patched it so the game only loaded files from the MPQs, so use it while you can~ edit: the ToS most likely covers this as a bannable offense (as the ToS basically says they can ban you for anything), but after doing it for years with WoW, nothing ever happened. they'll probably patch it pretty quickly though. | ||

Or is that something that would have to be included in the published map version? Not sure if it's possible, but I'd guess it is. Even if it was though, you would have issues with the animations, possibly even resulting in de-sync. | ||

It's not working for me. I think I did everything right, but none of the sounds changed. this screenshot should show everything. the folder structure is the same as the OP's, everything is named correctly, the sound files are correctly named and should work... is there some other step? (besides just creating the correct folder structure, starting with the new folder "base.SC2Assets" that I put inside the "LibertyMulti.SC2Mod" folder, then putting the sound files with same names inside) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/eKZpd.jpg) EDIT: so I noticed the 2 people in this thread who said it works, are from Europe. So I did the exact same steps for my EU client and it works..so apparently it only works for EU client? lame  | ||

I quote: "2.7 modify or cause to be modified any files that are a part of any Game or the Service in any way not expressly authorized by Blizzard;" Just because you are not modifying any MPQ files directly, you are still changing the game with its content by exploiting the behavior of Blizzards MPQ library. | ||

Also, it has been known that this works for quite some time. The same system works in WoW for certain things (they've blocked most of it). You can change the WoW background music, for instance. | ||
