Chenjesu and the Mmrnmhrm
« on: May 28, 2004, 08:01:17 am »
I'm new to this forum, but i'm  veteran of SC2. I beat the single player countless times for it's great replay value, (I still have the box, disks, and manual) but has anyone ever been able to get a Chenjesu or Mmrnmhrm ships in single player?

Or, for that matter, Ur-Quan, Kohr-Ah, VUX, Mycon, Melnorme, or Ilwrath. You can get all the others.

For humor I used to do that on the PC version of the game. I'd try playing with different ships from the start by renaming the shp files.

Nothing like starting out with a Korh-Ah or Ur-Quan ship Smiley

Hmm when I did that it totally scrambled the spheres of influence for most species.

the rename and swaping trick for PC verison of Starcon2 works. But, it gives pretty strange results my example I replaced all Un-Quan Dreads with Androsyth Guardians the game had no problem with crashes. Then, I replaced all the Earthing Cruisers with Dreads then start a new game. After going the the starmap for some reason a blue verison of Un-Quan Sphere of Influence appears. I guess Humans get blue for their color of Sphere of Influence.

When I played I replaced the cruiser with the ilwrath, but forgot to make a backup.  I think I quit playing after that.

But the ones you named are in the game. It's just that you cannot build and/or receive them.
The previous mentioned Mmrnmhrm X-Form, Chenjesu Broodhome and Androsynth Guardian are available in Melee, but are not available in any form in-game (not even as opponent).

There is. If you swap the ship files in the content.zip file
(in in the content directory if you've unzipped them), you
can mix and match as you like. However, it can have some strange
results on your game play. For example, one screen might show
you about to fight Yehat ships, but the conversation screen may show a
Pkunk.

That's exactly how it worked in the pc version. Changing the shp files only changed what you fought in melee. The proper race picture and conversations will still pop up.
