Patched / Modified Files

This section provides files for Blizzard games that have been modified/updated by fans and not by Blizzard. For this reason you use them on your own risk and you shouldn't mail to Blizzard about problems occuring in connection to these files. I'd advice you to backup all necessary files of a game before you modify them.

At first of all you will need a MPQ editor like WinMPQ or MPQ2k. Go to my download index to find out more about them. Probably you want to use better MPQ listfiles (e.g.: for WinMPQ). If this is the case, you have to go to my MPQ Research page to download the newest listfiles.

I don't make here a turtorial on how to use WinMPQ/MPQ2k. The manuals given with WinMPQ/MPQ2k are detailed enough to tell you how to use these tools. I just tell you in which MPQ you should put them and which path they should have inside the MPQ

German bugfixes pack
In the german Starcraft a little bug was created by Blizzard, that shows the names of the missions of Episode 1 to 3 in english. The mistake they made is that the translation team of Broodwar just translated the files for Episode 4 to 6 so the other episodes are back in English if you have a German Starcraft and you install a German Broodwar. I tried to point that out to Blizzard, but they didn't understand me.

Beta Death and Decay
Blizzard has changed some graphics in the retail version. Some fans don't like the purple and pink Death and Decay spell graphics. So Devourer has posted on the Infoceptor Forums that he has extracted the beta graphics and put them for download. For a preview click here here.

Filename Target MPQ Path Description Created / Submitted by
DeathandDecayDamage.mdx War3Patch.mpq or war3.mpq Abilities\Spells\Undead\DeathandDecay\ Replaces the graphics for Death and Decay with the beta graphics Blizzard / Devourer
DeathandDecayTarget.mdx War3Patch.mpq or war3.mpq Abilities\Spells\Undead\DeathandDecay\ Blizzard / Devourer

Note: I'd rather put them into War3Patch.mpq than war3.mpq because the you don't have to replace files. Files inside of War3Patch.mpq have for Warcraft III a higher priority than files in war3.mpq. That means that the retail graphics of Death and Decay (inside war3.mpq) remain untouched because Warcraft III takes the files of War3Patch.mpq with higher priority. And to restore the retail default you just have to delete the two files you added to War3Patch.mpq. But I'd make a backup anyway, because if something goes wrong you have to reinstall Warcraft III.

If you want to submit a file or want to report a bug occuring with a file provided here, send an email to scfreak045@hotmail.com. Don't send to the submitter, if necessary I'll contact them on my own.
