If Firegraft doesn't work in the new patch...
Apparently, Firegraft is incompatible with the newest patch. So how do you do tech tree and button set editing and advanced stuff like that?

You edit on an older patch until a compatible version of FireGraft is released.
But then how does anyone play your mod? Bnet automatically updates your patch when you use multiplayer... (Sorry if I sound whiney.)

You advise that they use Farty's Downgrader and play on a private server (like Shadowflare's). No other way around it, unless you're capable of programming a new memory patcher like FireGraft.
*swears loudly* Good thing Mod Night's on a private server... *swears loudly again* *and again* *and again*

EV im wrong but, when you use firegraft (like me with 1.15.0) you can play the mod with the newest patch right?
but i did see some genial mods like Ad astras or oter mods who require 1.15.0 or older version o SC. Why is that so?Is it cause of the color code or what?

I'm not really sure what you're getting at.
Anyways, you CAN run firegrafted mods designed for an older version of StarCraft, on a newer patch, but the grafted changes won't be there... So it's kind of pointless.
Basically, you downgrade your version of StarCraft to use Firegraft, and when others want to play your mod, they just have to downgrade StarCraft to play it. There's a small handful of other servers that can be used to play older versions of StarCraft online.

Dear Darkmapper:
Every time Blizzard releases a new patch, memory offsets are moved around. FireGraft is a memory patcher, so the only way for it to work is if it knows the correct offsets to everything. Patches change those around, so FireGraft must be updated to work on the new patch, or else it cannot function. Thus, until FireGraft is updated, you must mod on whatever version FireGraft is compatible with, advising your players to play your mod on that version by using Farty's Downgrader (it patches your SC to whatever version you want, really useful). If you're playing a mod, you want to pay attention to what SC version it requires, as otherwise its button, requirement, and tech tree changes will not function, and will appear as normal SC buttons only.

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value[05:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius[03:04 am]
Ultraviolet -- VraelVrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort[09:35 pm]
