1.) Is it possible to edit the GRPs of the menu (unit selection like 'Train Marine')
2.) Is it possible to give the Terran Dropship a weapon?
3.) Is it possible to give the Terran Dropship spells?
Thanks for answering the noob!
None.
Here are some queries on StarCraft modding:
1.) Is it possible to edit the GRPs of the menu (unit selection like 'Train Marine')
2.) Is it possible to give the Terran Dropship a weapon?
3.) Is it possible to give the Terran Dropship spells?

1 - If by menu you mean ingame menu, you're looking for cmdicons.grp I think. The main menu, with the campaigns, is smk files. These are similar to grps but you need the old rad tools for them.
2 - Yes, but iirc the dropship has some odd behavior associated with it through hardcode and weapons.
3 - Some spells are hardcoded, like cloaking, but others you can probably add without issues. It will need a spellcasting animation.

Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.
Thanks! I still have one question? How do you edit the wireframes?
None.

Wireframes are also a grp. I forget the exact name though.

You can look through Patch_rt.mpq, BrooDat.mpq, and StarDat.mpq to find files like these. Generally, you'll want to look through Patch_rt, then BrooDat, then StarDat in that order for relevant files.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
