Just open textures folder and find files, that contains "console" in their name. Copy those files into ingame MPQ-archive and don't touch all other new textures

Are you extracting the rar archives first?

Yes i followed your instructions perfectly. When i did it on my brothers computer it works perfectly but on mine for some reason it doesnt....

The only file that seems to be causing me trouble is the mods folder. When i put in the other one's i get units but im missing marine/thor/raven/ghost which are pretty big components since i love those models the most. I feel that putting the mods folder into the patch.SC2Archive is causing the patch bug for me. Is there any way to put these files in the assets folder or somewhere else to get the models?? Sc2switcher doesnt work for me as a solution that you posted on your website.

WHY are you reinstalling it again? I said back everything up like three times at this stage, you should never have to reinstall if you were doing everything like I'd said. And if it works fine on your brothers computer, then that just confirms there's nothing wrong with the files, it's your computer. I'm running out of ideas because you seem to be breaking it yourself even more by doing whatever you're doing to it, but the last thing I can think of is to just take the installation from your brothers computer, move it on to your computer and play off that. If you're still getting the patch bug after that, there's nothing I can do to help.

I somehow missed this thread, but this is quite sexy. The units look so much more badass this way, although i would be too tempted to get BCs all the time...

Because you're not replacing files. Instead, you are adding new files, that game will read

Ok well in an attempt to make up for everything i deleted every trace of Starcraft 2 from my registry and tried to start over new but...... Now i get the patch bug RIGHT after i install Starcraft 2 and i cant even get it on..... I just reinstall it because i dont know how to backup the files. I dont have external hardware to do that QQ. i tried copying the patch.SCArchive files etc. but it didnt work.

How do i take the installation from his computer and move it to mine??? x.X

1) Those auto-installers installs somewhere and into something, that you can't control and don't know, what it modifies. Replace everything MANUALLY and you will know, what to backup and what to not.

2) Install your game normally, then launch it, WITHOUT ANY MODS AND MODIFIED FILES -_- If you're corrupted your StarCraft 2 via registry, then delete it finally from your PC, and install ORIGINAL UNMODIFIED GAME CLIENT.

I just reinstall it because i dont know how to backup the files

What?
Ctrl-C -> go to Desktop -> Ctrl-V. Thats all!

@Kiri if you dont understand the concept of copy and paste I dont think you should be doing this in the first place.

So I can get the unit textures to work properly (I'm protoss), but when doing the buildings it royally screws up the in-game graphics, to where mineral batches are little globes, and sometimes units don't show up, causing me to have to use my backed up assets. Any reasons why the building Assets would do this? It might be worth noting that the pylon building included with the protoss units assets works fine as well.

Close the mpq editor before running sc2

Yeah, I do that. The units Assets and mods work fine, I close MPQ editor, open SC2, and have badass protoss motherfuckers. Then I close out SC2, and edit in the Protoss Buildings pack and it makes the background on the lognii screen lose most of its texture, and in game, well, it's hard to describe. It's like I'm playing a game that's about 25 percent coded. I just re-instate the backed-up copy of my assets and it's back to normal. I tried going in and grabbing the individual files for the buildings from within the buildings asset to simply add to the unit one, but still has the same problem.

Since it worked on your brother's computer, you can always take the .MPQ file from his and pop it into your Star2 folder. Just keep a copy of your own unmodified .MPQ somewhere on your computer. The file is only 99MB or something. Getting back to what you had to begin with is hardly "FIXED".

What you're describing is exactly the consequence of leaving the MPQ editor open. All I can think of is you closed it the first time and forgot the second time. How else would the loading screen and mineral patches turn in the globes when you're working with an MPQ than only effects buildings? When something turns in to a globe, it means the game is unable to locate the model associated with that object. By leaving the MPQ editor open, you deny sc2 any access to those MPQs. There might be some other error you've encountered, but there's no way it's a problem with the MPQ itself because it has no association with the login screen or mineral patches.

Odd as shit. Got it to work finally, perhaps you're right and I developed temporary amnesia the second time. I retried and backed up the files about 6 different times, I guess every single time I remembered to close it for the units, then went back and left it open every. Single. Time. For the buildings. King of dumbshits right here.
