I am having lots of trouble trying to add some Starcraft units to the Editor for my map. The biggest problem that I hit is that I am using a Macintosh computer and not many people have told me how I could do it. Please reply if you know how I could do it or have graphics already made and can send them to me and be included in the developers for helping, please do reply.

As far as I know, it's not possible because Warcraft III uses models while Startcraft uses sprites. Not to mention the fact that it's illegal to import other blizzard stuff :////

You could make/get some one to make custom models, and THEN you can import them. But as far as I know htat's the only wya t import them.

First thing I was not talking about importing directly. I meant trying to find a way to make a model of a Starcraft unit and need to tools to do it that will work for Macs.

Okay, then, now that I'm not entirely confused...

Hmm... I'm just rambling off programs, not sure if they're mac compatable, and I'm VERY sure none of them are cheap (as in $1000+): 3DMax, Lightwave, GMax, Milkshape, umm... hehehe that's all I know :/

gmax is free, milkshape i think is $25 u.s. and then 3ds is around $3600 u.s and lightwave i think i saw it $10000 u.s. i could be wrong... lol prolly big chance but oh well :D

Hmm... I didn't know there WAS a free model program.. i guess that's why so many people use it :ggani: Hmm, by $10,000, I'm guessing you meant $1,000? I'm guessning not many people would have enough money to pay 10 grand for LightWave... then again, there are those *&!% rich people out there... lol
