Ability to edit upgrades greyed out?

hey guys,

I'm trying to edit upgrades for weapons etc to past 3. Also the native things like upgrade marine range are not even in SCMDRAFT2. What am I missing?! I have tried the latest official build and the latest build but no matter what I cannot seem to edit upgrades. I'm just trying to fix existing maps that are bugged, but even a brand new map I have no upgrade options. What am i screwing up? Screenshots attached

Thank you!!

We do a little trolling

You need to open the race menus where it says Zerg Terran Protoss Other by double clicking on the one you want to look at. This will open a dropdown menu with the upgrades/tech depending on which menu you're in. Then you can select whichever upgrade/tech you want to modify.



My Projects:

Impossible Ultraviolet | Impossible UV 2 | Impossible UV 3
Mercenaries 2020 | Mercenaries III
Squad Defense

Legacy Projects (No guarantee of functionality in modern SC):

Pixel Adventure 2 | Space Snipers | Control the Ball

Just to note, certain upgrades are limited. The standard Armor/Shield Armor/Attack Damage Upgrades can go up to 255 but this isn't the case for things such as Marine Range which has a limited upgrade of just 1. Further modifications require EUD Editor 3 to modify further.

As a tip with upgrades, you can "give" research style upgrades (where limit is only 1) to players that don't have them conditionally during the middle of the game by giving the targeted recipient a unit from another player/computer that already has said upgrades.

Example:
Player 1 (Player) doesn't have Marine Range
Player 2 (Computer) has Marine Range
Give Player 2 Marine to Player 1 -> Now Player 1 has Marine Range.

Think of this rule similar to Dark Archon's Mind Control ability (which follows this same rule).

Side Note: There is an exception where you deny the upgrade by making it non-researchable (0/0 versus 0/1)

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
