Campaign help

[Rocco]

does anyone know how to put in the screens before the mission briefings like in LOTC Fallen angel?

[Taeradun]

to do that you'll have to make your maps replace (at least one of) the original campaigns, ie. replace the 8-mission Protoss campaign with 8 maps of your own

the old conventional way is to replace files such as campaign\expprotoss\protoss01\staredit\scenario.chk that you'll normally find on install.exe on your Brood War CD or in BroodWar.mpq if you've installed the No CD version, with the staredit\scenario.chk file you can extract from your SCX file if you open it with an MPQ editor

then to edit the rez\estp01x.txt file (again, usually found in install.exe / BroodWar.mpq) - the markup isn't hard to figure out so you don't need to be a genius to figure out what to do

that file itself, for example, references the files glue\palpa\ProtossA.pcx and glue\palpa\Blank.pcx as background images used, with glue\palpa\tfont.pcx as the font palette file - there are obviously other images in the MPQs you can use, or you can make your own (if you know what you're doing with palettes and make an appropriate "tfont.pcx" file as well etc) and use that in your mod MPQ as well

thanks, is there a way to remove certain pictures of the characters on the main screen, like I just want to have the terran officer standing there?

You lost me here...

He means campaign selection. Protoss, Terran and Zerg, but he just wants Alexei Stukov there and not Artanis and Kerrigan.

I thought that's what this thread was for:
index.php?topic=911.0

[Legion]

Yes.  Maybe he asked the same question twice.  But I have to admit, he lost me there too.
