^ TY!  ;D

Anyway, the reason why I made it solid was mostly because it's in a transport and therefore very small and I thought it would add to that 'new' sense.
[Note : Bit to read]
Spoiler
I didn't have the internet until about 1 year ago and in that time I did a bit of facebook, manga, B.net and other random things, but mostly bnet. I used up so much of my "internet time" (limited to about 50 - 120mb a day) on SC that I never really explored anything else. I only found out about mods 3 months ago... so I've been blind for most of my life. But on Bnet-SC I only played UMS cause 'fastest' was getting boring, fast.. but I'm sick of this renaming shit and saying that my gateway was a spellbook and that my Zergling was a 'dog'...sure it was fun and creative, I did a few of my own maps (mostly 'RPG') but it was just too common to use renamed units...

So you can understand why I thought that you could add a little bit of a new feel to it since it's a mod and what I was suggesting was simple things that require (for all the items in total) half the time it takes to make one map (from what I can tell by your map design there, triggers are easy but still require your time. Also there's spell checking and the replacing the terrain that randomly did the computer on your walls back to normal walls) also you only need like 1 frame which is nothing.

I suck at graphics (as you can see) but I still tried and with my mod (thats story actually makes no sense and I'm therefore scrapping it and starting fresh, actually I got my 1st map half-done already) I still attempted horrible non-kitbashed graphics, so for something like my walker it would've taken about 100 - 170 frames to complete it's walking in each direction, done pixel by pixel since I don't know any better way to do it and I can't afford anything like 3ds Max, which, I'm assuming, would make life that much easier. I did about 30 frames before realizing that my story hits a dead end(and that the walker had the wrong sun reflections, after finishing 3 maps and 1 other unit that weren't as many frames. That is not including a blob I replaced the probe with that would meld making the other unit I finished and might use in my new mod (that was 85 frames))
[NOTE: I know this is a piece of cake for most of you so I suggest you only comment on this paragraph if it's constructive or funny!]
Bottom Line : Just renaming units thats graphics barely fit it is a bit too much like playing a Bnet UMS... and graphics editing is easy if it's simple things.

Like I said, holidays are here (till 13th January for me which is coming soon  :'( ) so you got time on your hands (and like I said, I'm willing) to do small things like that, unless you really are adding voices then ignore this.

PS: Haven't done bnet since 3 months ago, so if your campaign goes through I'm all for it ;D (kinda miss those really cool RPGs and Horror/Survival maps that truly flowed as well as Temple Siege which I sucked at but got lucky often... and luck is counted as skill in some cases!)

DW, where are you from? I only ask because I find the very short time that you've had internet access quite unusual.

South Africa  :P (Cape Town If you Wanna Know)
It's about 3:20Am here as well. Reason is that late at night (1:00AM - 8:00AM to be exact) the bandwidth we use is divided by 3 so that's why I'm on around this time. (also the reason I have slow speeds(30kbs or 30mbs don't remember really but this is some of the peak speeds actually so I'm lucky ;D) and lag on everything except SC for some reason)

FYI : I'm Portuguese but my mom moved here before I was born so technically I'm South African. But my dad's like a mix between German, South African, English and 2 others that I can't think of right now (as it is 3:22AM now and I could probably last about 2 hours more)
Home Language is english though. My mom has failed(and by failed I mean she doesn't really care) to teach me Portuguese but still speaks to my Gran' and aunts in Portuguese...

I don't usually give out info like this easily but it's better if people know, I guess (or hope)...

Ah, that's different. Welcome to the internet!

And no, you don't have to sign at the end of long posts unless you are trying to be formal. As you have probably seen already, we are a rather informal bunch.  ;)
