What program would I use to EDIT the mpq ?

I know how to go in an extract blp's and mdx's. But, exactly what program could I use to go in there and switch them out for other ones ?

Unless you're making a full-blown mod, I don't recommend ever adding to or changing any of the .mpq's, ever. Just add to the map. If you add to the .mpq, you'll need to package the .mpq with the map and send it to people outside of b.net, and you won't be able to play the standard game on your own machine.

But, if you want to edit it, I recommend WinMPQ.

Aye, that's wht I was told to use, but, they also said I could find that in the downloads seciton of this site. I don't see it at all.

I believe that you can find it from ShadowFlare's site. And indeed, it's not available in Downloads, nor is it included in the Editing Tools forum.

That's cool, thanks a lot. And just so you guys know. I edited the MPQ so that I had the beta Shadow Hunter and beta Shadow Hunter Portrait + some skin swapping and the ladder works perfectly fine for me. I can see all the skins I put in but the Crypt Lord.

cool, I should have replaced the sh with the beta graphic and the beta obsidian statue also.
