Teliko did great work with Dark models swap for all 3 races, and someone in commentaries posted nice idea to expand this customization into modified building textures, like Dark Protoss. I'm a very big fan of zergs, so I've decided to slighty redesign Zerg buildings and units from brown-purple to green-grey colors. Ultralisk, Overseer, Corruptor and Infestor replacements are Teliko's work, all other units simply greyed.

Read more info about Dark units swap here
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=262239

As result, it's closer now to totally changed factions:
Terrans -> Mercenary Terrans from WoL campaign
Protoss -> Dark Protoss from WoL and maybe from ShakurasWoL
Zerg -> Infestation Brood from Left2Die

I've created small graphical addon to zerg buildings, that recolors them.

All unit models are from Teliko's "Dark Mercenary" replacements. I did only building and creep recoloring and put Teliko's units here for better comparsion of average style.

I think I would like this but only on units. I don't know if this would be a hassle but could you make a separate mod for just units too?

I don't mean to rain on your parade—this is good work—but it might be good to remind everyone again that this is technically against the terms of use. A lot of things in that agreement aren't enforced either because it would be impossible to do so, or because it would be a waste of resources of Blizzard, or because they're only there to save Blizzard from a lawsuit.

These model swaps and reskins, however, I think, have begun stepping on the toes of possible expansions of StarCraft II's exploitability for money, and when you tread on Blizzard's moneymaking ground, you walk a thin wire.

Be careful.

Not slighty, but not heavily updated now. 3 new screenshots, grey units, less greeny creep and more greeny slime on buildings.

If someone ave problems with working. Just check, did u had other mods in other folders, that has highter priority files with modified content.

And if you already had base.sc2data, just open it (google can open it) and open downloaded file, then select all files from new files and drag them to your current base.sc2data.

Also, if u dont have any mods, click Repair.exe then. It can help sometimes too, if some of your files was already corrupted.

I like it but to be honest I hoped that you had pulled it a bit further.

I like the way the Infestors and Ultras look. Way gross-er and scarier.

If I apply this, does this mean that if i see a zergling and my oppoenent is on lair tech, I can see it by just looking at the zergling?

Damn man this makes me wish someone could make a sick campaign. The outbreak campaign mission would have looked so freaking badass with your design

isnt there better and more different skins you could have used? most of them look the same except their colors are different.

For instance the zombie corrputer compared to the normal corrupter, completely different skin which is bomb!

What you mean? You opponent will see only standart unit models. Because your opponent don't have this graphical addon.

I will test more, but thx for report.

Yes, skins for all units are same. They're just greyed only. It's only beta. Totally redesigned are Infestor, Ultralisk and Overseer, but they're official mod-models, not fan-made. So including them first was easy to do, what Teliko already did.

For instance the zombie corrputer compared to the normal corrupter, completely different skin which is bomb!

it isn't really zombie corruptor. This unit called Swarm Guardian and he was an early version of Brood Lord. Teliko did very nice and LOGICAL replacement for corruptor.

This unit model now is smaller, but half of unit model is similar to broodlord. So it's closer to "father" aka Brood Lord, into what Corruptor mutates. And more logic and closer to lore, than corruptor, that looks totally different from current Brood Lord, and he mutates to BL.

Swarm Guardian fits more to pre-BL role.
