Does anyone have the original spider critter from the war2 alpha by Brian Sawatzky?  I imagine he released it as a stand-alone, and I would like to get my hands on it if it still exists.

edit:  A better question would be, how do I modify grp files using grpedit?  If I try to open x_port (the icons) for example, it won't let me delete or add anything.  I'm just trying to copy the spider critter icon from one tileset to another.

This is about all the mods I could find. Check through this pack! You remember the star trek ship? It's in this pack. Maybe the spider is idk but it does have hail fire to replace blizzard ;)

Also I'm sure retro software will allow you to edit it. See if it can extract to BMP and back to GRP if not we need to get you an editor for grp there are plunty starcraft versions you can use. Also add the war2 palette I'm sure you know that.

And when you are done with this work make a new thread I will sticky for you! Thanks man you really saved me time, and countless hours of doing this!! You should join me and easycompany with a few projects we can talk about those in pms.

Maybe I can use the hail fire for fun in the tileset pack.  I'll check it out.

I know the palette has to be added, but I can't seem to get Grpedit.exe to even load a palette properly.  Can you post a link to the palette used for Warcraft 2 icons/portraits so I can make sure I'm using the correct .pal file?  Or is it located in War2dat?  Also, like I said, Grpedit won't let me delete or add anything when I open a .grp file.  Everything is greyed out...

I likely will not be able to, as I am currently heavily involved with another game project (for Unreal, the original '98 version).  I am actually just taking a brief respite from that project to mess around with Warcraft2 for a bit.  I will definitely release this tileset pack when I'm finished, however.

I do have another question.  How do I modify chatroom.tbl to change the name of the tilesets?  I tried using a text editor, but the game crashed.

Okay yeah each titleset should have 4 files and one is the palette. Maybe find those after you apply the patches incase they changed with the hell titleset for example.

You should look at all the .tbl files and use a starcraft editor for that also. When I get to my pc I can give you names of all the software I use.

I guess nobody saw my update to the official tile set release thread.  I already released these tilesets (Wetland, Cameron's Jungle, and Glacier).  There are no unreleased tilesets left that I know of.  Read the first post carefully:
