Campaign replacing

Post by Ardis »

I've noticed in the Zeji/Mekani total conversion mod that the campaign files had been replaced and when you went to start the campaign it would run it's own campaign, not the normal StarCraft/Brood War campaign. Can anyone give me a list of the files in the MPQ that I should replace.

EDIT: And it would be nice to know the filename and location of the intro movie for if I ever get around to making an intro for my mod.

I'm not unstable.
Unstable implies that I could BECOME more dangerous than I am now.

You edit some certain file, StarDraft has the files that can edit the story part like when you select the expansion Protoss campaign how the glowing green text shows you can edit that but sorry I dont know where to find the files needed to edit the campaign. Try searching in the .mpq file with WinMPQ thats how I found how to edit it for WarCraft III

Marine, thanks for being of zero help.

"What files do I replace in the MPQ?"
"I dunno, check the MPQ to see what files to replace."

Phantom, the campaign files are on the Starcraft/Brood War CDs themselves, in I believe setup.exe (or was it install.exe? It's the .exe that's several hundred megabytes.) The files will be there in scenario.chk form and each level has its own folder path complete with in-game sounds and other such stuff. If you want to replace the files, you'll need to use an mpq extractor to take the scenario.chk file out of the scm/scx that you're using and replace one of the original campaign scenario.chks with that in your patch.

It is Install.exe file. What type of MPQ extractor would you use Gemini?
