Anything I've ever released is client-side only. No one knows you're using it.

It doesn't replace how your units look to the other player, it replaces how it looks for you... All it does is tell your game engine to put different models and animations on your screen when it displays what the server tells it to.
If thats true than i am all for it, this is awesome :D! however, i know that blizz has stuff against changing any element of their copywritten game, will this get us banned or not? also if it won't get us banned does anyone know how it would look on low graphics since i play on low to have a very smooth game?

Did you read the OP or just look at the pictures?
"First up, like always, yes MPQ editing is against the terms of service. Most of you probably know this by now, but I have to say it or else I'll get shouted at. My mods have been downloaded over 30,000 times now, and no one has been banned in the year that SC2 has been released. I'm not saying it's impossible to get banned, just that it hasn't happened yet. And if anyone was going to get banned, it'd be me seeing as I open and close SC2 with new experimental MPQs like 50+ times a day when I'm working on new things like this."
It's technically against the TOS. Blizzard can ban you and be within their rights. But they never seem to ban anyone for cosmetic changes (see the threads about changing voice packs, language packs, menu screen background, etc...). So it's reasonably safe, in the sense that if Blizzard is reasonable, you're safe.

If you feel confident that you won't slip up, or won't change your mind later, it's not really necessary. That's moreso just a disclaimer I have to leave everywhere to stop people from asking me to upload backups after they forget to. Uploading 2 gig files on a 2mb connection is a lot less fun than just having people back it up themselves. Another thing you can do is extract the files you're going to be replacing and back those up instead, reducing the size from like 2 gigs to 30mb.

Glad I did, cause as soon as I did the mods file it patched so I had to go back and re-do it all :D

OMG this is stupidly sexy haha can't believe i didn't know this for a month o.o
Thank you!

You'll only need to replace the patch file that the mods went in, it'll work without that. It just means you won't be able to use as many units as others.

Teliko, why you don't use method with creating new MPQ archive and putting inside new files only?

It's never been confirmed that using a new MPQ is any more or less likely to cause someone to get banned, it was never more than a theory. And even then, it's safe either way. No one has ever been banned for either method.

My game patched as well, but i failed at the editing, so I will try it again.
Maybe it patches because I use a downloaded client and not a cd version?

Well I always reinstall using the cd, so I guess it's a possibility, but I'm not entirely sure that makes a lot of sense. It's unlikely a downloaded version would be any different after installation, but I've never tried it, so I wouldn't rule it out. My internet is getting upgraded from 2mb to 100mb in like a week, so i'll test it then. Sure as hell not downloading 12gigs on 2mb.

Hi! Just wanted to say that this is really great!
However, i noticed that the marine model isn't working correctly for me (everything else is though)
Anyways, really nice!

Did you put the mods folder into the correct mpq in the Base19679 folder?

I did, but then it started to patch so i decided to leave the mods folder out and just install the assets.

Ah, I see. Just to test Epsilon's theory, did you install sc2 via cd or download?

I installed using the cd.
Also to note i have a relocalizer in order to switch regions, although i'm not sure that affects anything.

Oooh I never thought about that either, I guess that might affect it. Gotta find all the people who said the mods folder wouldn't work and see if they did either of these things now :/

Sigh,, Dragged and dropped the files... It started patching, took out all the new modded files and put back the old mpq's and its forever patching... Have to re-install... Q__Q
