The ToS is wide enough that they can close any loopholes through the utter vagueness of its language. You will get banned for this.

It's nothing new, it's not a loophole or legal workaround, it's just another way you can tinker with the files to get yourself banned...and Americans evidently can't do it.

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.

I phoned into tech support, and they're said, that changes are bannable only, if they give you advatange in multiplayer

You will get banned for this.

Who's banned for that? I saw only bans for using things, that gives advatange.

Can one use this to switch to the Korean zerg voice?

Or is there another way to do that, I want it:D

Forgive the bump, I just thought with the recent ban that perhaps some people could comment on how this has worked out for them. I'd love to replace Zerg unit sounds...All of them. But I was wondering if anyone has had any success with that and if they have been banned.

Cheers

I changed SC2 Zerg musics for the Starcraft 1 ones (first response in this thread @ page 1). I didn't get banned or anything. It's fine.

Awesome! Now for my next question: I heard some people could only get this working with euro client. Anyone got it to work with the na client?

I'm playing on Europe I can't test it out to answer you. It would be strange.

I think, can't. But if you will find folders (I mean, create them), that will overwrite folders from MPQ, so then you will can

I can't believe some people are willing to risk a ban just to change the in-game music o_0 Why don't you turn it off and play SC1 music on WMP or whatever player you use??

This folder prioritising seems to have been removed in the latest patch. Can anyone get it working?

The mod prioritizing still exists but it appears that with 1.3.3 SC2 no longer treats subdirectories as MPQs. If you use a tool to create a new MPQ in the libertymulti directory with the name "base.SC2Assets" you can still override the files from the liberty "base.SC2Assets". I just used ladik's mpq editor to test this.

Confirmed this, both the inability to read a folder and the fix with a MPQ file.

It seems however that StarCraft is very picky about certain files when overriding like this (music is quite the work to get in).

lol..... the way some people think..... if you change textures, in any way and get caught.... you will get banned. Just because it doesn't cover it in the TOS specifically doens't mean you can just do it. If you changed textures you could remove the stealth textures, cheating, plain and simple.... you will get banned if caught.

1) You can't UNstealth texture. It will be pink or not, no reason. All time it will be covered with same stealth texture. only when it's unstealthed, it will have changed texture.

2) Give me examples about cheating by replacing textures, sounds, etc

3) Only things, that gives advatange to players, will cause BAN. If there are no advatange, and PLUS NO MPQ EDITING, so 2 reasons to no ban.


2) Replace the nydus worm sounds with a sound of you screaming "NYDUS WORM MOTHERFUCKER" lol. That should give you a nice advantage^^

But the default nydus worm sound already does that...
