I was looking through the tutorials section of SEN and found a GRP making tutorial. The first step is to open StarDat. Could someone please elaborate on this? I cannot figure out how to open StarDat (which program to use). It makes it sound in the tutorial that StarDat is a folder or cache, but in actuallity it is a file. I've tried to open it with both MS Paint and Wordpad. It does open with Wordpad, but then craps out before anything happens...



None.

Well this makes sense now. Where can I get the files that are need to run WinMPQ (VB40032.DLL and Runtimes Pack 3)?



None.

Think of it like this.
StarDat is an MPQ file that holds everything that makes up Starcraft. It contains all the unit graphics, animation scripts, tilesets, menu graphics, movies, etc.
I would go on describing what to download and stuff, but the easiest way to set up everything you'll need for modding is downloading/installing the Modding Tool Package.
