In my quest for the Ultimate Campaign/Multiplayer Mash up I've run into a problem. Once I get the Purple and Green Versions of the zerg units the originals are near useless. I want to make a color alteration to the originals to make an upgrade to give the originals a different look and feel. To do this I figure I need to create a new unit. What goes into that? If I am using new abilities, attacks, and textures, but keeping the original animations and wireframes?
Use the texture select by ID method for the textures. Several art programs can make .dds format files and you get converters like aorta.
Rest is data editor stuff. You need the Abilities, Weapons, Effects and Behaviors data types for the attacks/abilities. You also need a unit from the Units data type and a Unit type actor.

Or use the Dark Protoss upgrade, it also changes texture, does the effect you want, study that. But will require modifying and importing these custom textures you do.
