Need help with mod

Post by Titan10 »

im doing a mod for my campaign Path of darkness im done with it but i cant start it for some reason.
it says:  Starcraft was unable to open a required file. If this problem persists try uninstalling and reinstalling starcraft using program ''SETUP.EXE'' on the starcraft CD-ROM. The problem occurred while trying to load a file Stardat.mpq


What should i do?

Would help if we knew what you used to make the mod itself and what version of StarCraft you're running.
I'm not unstable.
Unstable implies that I could BECOME more dangerous than I am now.

usually the error of missing file lists exactly what the file is.  Like "setup can't find rez/gluchat.bin etc".  This is a good technique btw for finding "unknowns" in older mods.  Just rebuild the sempq leaving out the unknowns and Starcraft will tell you what those files are!  But I digress... Are you saying setup says it can't find "stardat.mpq"?  Been messing with your starcraft folder or somethin?
