A long time ago I once played a mod that did nothing but change the sprites/grps for units into other sprites. ALSO, I was able to play this mod online with other people without downgrading and with people who didn't have the mod. I remember playing RE: Raccoon city by Panzer with this mod on and the zombies were like MegaMans and my ghosts where Ryu's from street fighter. My
question is what is this type of mod called and is it still available to date? TZ informs me this sort of thing is called a "Vanity mod" (he believes). I can't seem to find any of these types of mods anywhere and I REALLY want to use them while i play on battle.net to make things more interesting. MORE importantly if someone knows the mod that im talking about, if they could link me to a mod or a mod similar so that I may play it over battle.net.
Side note: The mod I played was based on videogame and each race had a theme. for ex. Terran was Capcom, zerg was zega, and toss was nintendo or something like that. I will never forget the Mario's for SCV's. Sorry for not being specific but this species of mods almost seem like a myth since I have heard next to 0 talk about it since the last time i played with one on. (2-3 years ago)
tl;dr mods that only change sprites/grps over battle.net without causing desyncs. WHERE CAN I GET?
None.
Any mod that only changes GRPs are compatible with bnet.

Oh, cool but do you know where I can get? It seems like everyone likes to make mods that do everything else included... so.. yea.. ;o
None.
Just here for the activity... well not really
You make it yourself.
Yeah. There aren't that many modders that see graphic-only mods as interesting. Maybe back when there weren't that many modding tools, but now you'll need to make your own.

"Oh, I see it"
Found some over at creep colony. Good to know these kinds of things are "timeless" in a sense. Someone make more D:
None.
Wait, so you're saying I can make a mod with nothing but custom GRPs and play it on B.net without everyone needing the file and downgrading?
None.
No one but you will see the changes.
Oh ok, thanks. So everyone can see the changes if they have the self executable file but there's no need to downgrade?
None.
Unless you are using plugins, EXE edits, or grafting then you don't need to downgrade.
