All mod files have to be in a mpq file, as mpq files are what StarCraft uses to store the data.

The portrait filepaths are similar to portrait\<unit>\<animation>.smk. You just have to give them the same name as the unit's portrait you are replacing.

EDIT:
Based on your post in the necro topic, it looks like you are trying to replace the arbiter's portrait. So you'd just need to add/replace the following files in an MPQ:
portrait\parbiter\pabfid00.smk
portrait\parbiter\pabfid01.smk
portrait\parbiter\pabfid02.smk
portrait\parbiter\pabfid03.smk
portrait\parbiter\pabtlk00.smk
portrait\parbiter\pabtlk01.smk
portrait\parbiter\pabtlk02.smk

alrighty, thanks again :D I managed to figure tht out yesterday, huhu

just another Q: if in the case of identical units like Arbiter & Danimoth, if I replace the portrait for the arbiter, will the Danimoth portrait be changed too? does this also affect sounds? thx again :)



None.

You can use DatEdit on the Units tab to change which sounds and portraits each unit uses, but if you replace it the normal arbiter portrait will be unavailable even for Danimoth.
