I've had this on for months, but now it requires MPQ editing I don't know if I'm willing to use it anymore

Haha, I'm sorry man.

Ok so here's what happened. I couldn't figure out where the zergling texture file was, which means I didn't know how to overwrite it, or have the game prioritize it. So what I ended up doing, is editing the 3d model itself, and then telling the model to get its diffuse texture from a different file that I named zergling_diffuse2.dds

So basically it should make sense that I have to upload both the texture and the edited 3d model to fix it. It seemed to have worked for me. Let me know if it works for you guys too.

Zergling Fix

So download that, open the rar. There will be two folders, Units and Textures. Both of these go into your Assets folder of enUS.SC2Assets located in Starcraft II/Mods/Liberty.SC2Mod. So for the Units folder you can just drag it since there shouldn't be a Units folder there. I'm not sure how MPQ editor handles just dragging a folder that's already present. I would think it would merge it, which is what we want, but just in case, for the Textures folder, go inside both of them and just drag the new zergling_diffuse2.dds over to the mpq editor.

Close the mpq editor before launching SC2. And let me know if it worked.

Very nice mod, I'm sure blizzard will implement this into the game in a few patches or so?

Something that you can enable/disable.

This looks SO MUCH BETTER than the actual game. I'd love it if every game I played/watched used this

Actually Pzea, the lings are not ok. When they don't have zergling speed they are bolded, but as soon as speed finishes they loose the bold team color and go back to un modded texture ><

I guess im the in minority here but i dont like how these color mods look. Why is everything so vibrant and neon like. I dont think making everything shiny is the way to fix the color i think just having more parts of a unit that represents the player color would be cool. As a random ex: Rather than having all Zealots look the same besides having different color blades they could also have color on a part of their armor. Making the color stand out more without it punching you in the face is what i would like. lol

Its weird, before people were complaining about sc2 being cartoony and not "gritty" enough and now the game is being modded even more so in that direction.

Having said that, im not a fan of the way the colors are atm so i really do thank anyone working on finding a change!

K figured it out. Upgraded Zergling uses a different model so I just had to do the same. Silly mistake.

Zergling Fix

So same instructions as the last upload. I'll update the OP with this one. This includes the fixes for both regular ling and speed ling.

So why wouldn't someone at Blizzard see this thread and get this type of vibrancy and color implemented into the actual game? Hell, put this mod into the actual game. It looks like 5 million times better than normal..in fact now I can't look at normal SC2 without thinking "oh god this shit is duller..than shit"
