How to? Edit units

Is it possible to have different properties for the same unit for different players? If yes - how.

Also, is it possible to add new heroes? For example, a medic, a lurker, a corsair, a devourer?

You can't add new anything - you have to change existing stuff.

Can I change a ghost hero to vulture hero for example? Can I make a vulture for Kerrigan?
Like we have marine and vulture for Jim Raynor?

Yes. Using DatEdit, change the ghost hero's graphical file (in graphics) to Vulture, change the portrait to Idle Portrait Kerrigan, and from there you need to change the sounds/attacks to your liking.

That would require to have mpq file and distribute it with the map file?

And MPQ file can't be a part of map (SCM,SCX) file, right?

You'd need a custom exe for what you want, so if you plan on playing something with your friends over bnet they'll need to be running the mod as well

you can change anything you want, hell you could change a critter into a super battle cruiser.... which I believe is exactly what RavenclawX did with VotF2.

RazorclawX buddy, but for what chris said you would have to add new button, obviously a critter doesn't have attack.

But provide a custom MPQ file. That is not what I intended :(
