hmm mine stopped working too. They might have disabled the whole Multi having priority over the Liberty folder. Or maybe just disabled textures and models from Multi. So much for supporting it... lol. Well if this is the case it looks like the old way of installing it might be the only way to go. I'll check to make sure if there is no other way first though.

Is there any workaround for the patch? I haven't used any mods prior to this, so aside from the instructions in the OP I'm completely in the dark.

Ok so were gonna go back to the old way of installing it. You need the MPQ editor found here:
(MPQEditor)

Here's the STC(Stronger Team Colors) Mod.
pzea STCMod

Start the MPQ editor up after installing, and locate the enUS.SC2Assets mpq, Located in your
Starcraft II/Mods/Liberty.SC2Mod (not the Multi this time). BACK IT UP PLEASE! Then open it.

Now you should be staring at a folder called Assets. If you open the STC mod you will see that after entering the enUSAssets folder, you also see a folder called Assets.

Go into both Assets folders. Now what you want to do is drag the STC related folders over to the MPQ. STC related folders are Textures, and Effects. The folders that you don't need are Battle.net, LocalizedData, and Sounds. This is my bad, I uploaded all my stuff i had there. Those 3 folders are a BW sound mod that I had installed. If you want to try those sounds out go ahead and drag them as well. I did NOT make that sound mod. Credit goes to Zelniq for that. His thread is here.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=117317

Sorry for uploading the sound mod along with the textures, but I'm sort of in a rush, and uploading took forever since my internet is acting up. I'll make sure to message Zelniq to let him know what I did. And when I have time and my internet recovers I will upload a version without the sound mod to make it easier for you guys.

Anyways, once that is done the mod should work. MAKE SURE: that you close the mpq editor before starting up SC2, or something funky will happen(nothing bad or permanent, so if you're curious, you can try it out.)

I wrote this pretty fast so I apologize for any mistakes or non clear instructions, hopefully there is no trouble installing it. Sorry it cannot be as simple as it was before since this last patch....

yeah it seems that way. Or maybe you know a way around that? But making a new mpq with only the new files and having it in the Multi doesn't work anymore for me since the patch.

This step is confusing/frustrating to read.
Will need some screenshots.
Currently I cannot open both STC assets and original assets at the same time,
I cannot drag folders into the editor as easily as described.
Are you opening two instances of MPQeditor?

These units look like skittles. Aside from the aesthetic fun this mod brings, I actually think this is a really cool idea. I'm terrified, however, that there is the slightest possibility that I could get banned for this.

Wow, didn't come across this until now, but it's definitely something I want to try out now. I don't think it's as big a problem as terran, but I'm sure it will still make a small difference. Thanks a bunch
