In some of latest patches I found Diablo 3 themed decals, that includes Diablo himself decal and 5 classes, that are available in Diablo 3. Maybe they will add those decals for Collectors Edition owners, but using Teliko's information about resource editing and "Stronger team color" way of installing mod, I've decided to create a very small mod, that replaces 3 basic decals with 3 new, Diablo 3 themed.

Now you do not need to edit ingame resources, just out downloaded file into destinated directory!

One issue is that other players will not see those decals, instead, they will see basic decals, that game uses (i.e. Protoss/Terran/Zerg basic decals). And another issue, that if they have basic decals, you will see diablo-decals instead. In other word, everyone with those basic decals after installing mod will see diablo-themed decals.

Installation is very easy. Just prefer, what decals you want (folders will say you, where you can find Diablo/Barbarian/DaemonHunter decals or Monk/WhitchDoctor/Wizard ones)

1) Download http://www.multiupload.nl/FK97B1XICF
2) Open archive and select, what decals you want. In first folder you can find xxXX.sc2assets, that replaces basic decals to Diablo/Barbarian/DaemonHunter decals, second folder replaces basics to Monk/WhitchDoctor/Wizard)
3) Rename xxXX.sc2assets to your localization. enGB, ruRU, enUS, koKR, etc
4) Put renamed file to StarCraft II/Mods/LibertyMulti.sc2mod/..here..
5) Launch game, change your decal to basic and then start ingame match! In rewards menu you will see basic decal, but ingame it will be new.
4) If you already installed this mod, or you have Stronger team color mod, or any other mod, installed via created xxXX.sc2assets, then open that existing xxXX.sc2assets, open downloaded .sc2assets-file and move new texture files from it to old xxXX.sc2assets file. Just drag and drop between two opened MPQ-files. Not hard, do it, like you moving files between two Windows.

Another small customization relates to Zerg creep. In StarCraft 1 it was purple, in SC2 we got grey creep (on some maps it becomes red-brown, depending on light). In SC2: Heart of the Swarm we can see, that the creep is darker, than current WoL creep.

New Zerg creep mechanic in SC2:HotS and it's difference from current WoL creep. Darker and cooler


Because we can customize zerg creep too, I've decided to create some variations of current creep. First one is more purple and a bit darker. Second, called "dark creep", is closer to HotS creep, and the third one, new variant from me, is fully grey, but with orange effects on it. If you want, post requests here and I can create other creep designs. It's not that hard.

Installing instructions:
1) Select, what creep style you prefer most.
2) Download it, rename downloaded file to enGB, ruRU, enUS, koKR, etc, depending on your game localization
3) Put renamed file to StarCraft II/Mods/LibertyMulti.sc2mod/..here..
4) If you already installed custom decals, or you have Stronger team color mod, or any other mod, installed via created xxXX.sc2assets, then open that existing xxXX.sc2assets, open downloaded .sc2assets-file and move new texture files from it to old xxXX.sc2assets file. Just drag and drop between two opened MPQ-files. Not hard, do it, like you moving files between two Windows.

Very cool. I don't think I will download either of them, since I don't play zerg and at my level EVERYBODY has the basic decals, but if/when I switch and get better, I will be sure to install. Good job

Those creep variations are very different from standart one.

SC1:BW creep is totally purple, when original is grey. Open in browser any SC2 screenshot with zerg creep and open my screenshot. You will see, that they're different.
SC2:HotS creep is darker and more contrast, and you can see comparsion on HotS screenshot.
Custom grey-orange creep - it's impossible to show comparsion, because the difference is animation only. Original creep has white-purple animation and light on it, when custom grey-orange is grey too, but with saturated orange light and animation on it.

Maybe, but I think, they're for D3-CE owners, because I can't believe, that they will give only 3 portraits in sc2 for such big cost of collectors edition.

Ah, missed that. But still, if it's possible to use those decals as small mod, why not? And later it can be possible to replace one of standart portraits to Diablo portraits too.
