Dear community, I'm in a process of planning/making map and I would like to know how hard it is to:
1)add "throw grenade" animation to Raynor sniper model;
2)add "dark" textures for protoss units which don't have their "dark" version.
I want to know these two things so that if I manage to finish my map I would know if I could hope that someone would do these things for me or if I have to enter the magical world of graphic related things myself.
Both are relatively easy. I'm going to assume you have some idea how to maneuver in the Data Editor, if not, I can explain in more detail. :)
Throw Grenade
Under the Units tab in the Data Editor, find your Raynor - Sniper hero (or whatever unit you're using) and edit the Ability - Abilities + field on the right.
Add a new ability, using Raynor - Toss Grenade.
Now edit the Ability - Command Card +
Create a new button, no requirements, with the Ability as Raynor - Toss Grenade and that should automatically set the Ability Command to Grenade.
Dark Protoss
Create a new Trigger in the Trigger Editor
Set the Events to Map Initialization
Under Actions select Tech Tree and Add Upgrade Level for Player
Set: Tech Tree - Add 1 to Dark Protoss upgrade for player 1 (or whichever player you want)
I tested both and they should work. Let me know if it doesn't. This thread should probably go under General Development.
Edit: After re-reading your question, I realized adding the Dark Protoss upgrade OR the Toss Grenades wasn't what you were trying to do, my bad... lol to add the textures to units which don't have them is a little more tricky, although some users in the community have developed skins for them... search Dark Protoss for a list of threads, I know there's at least a Dark Colossus out there.

I'm just going to sheepishly slink away. hahah
