xd pooop

Recently just started to delve deeper into Starcraft map making and have gotten to the point where I'm starting to learn more "advance" topics like EUD and Unit Editing stuff.

What I'm trying to accomplish is editing units/attack stats through DatEdit v1.5.

This question might be very simple but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

I can't seem to start up SCMDraft2 with this MPQ file that I've popped out from DatEdit v1.5d

After googling around a post on here said that 3 other MPQ files are necessary but I can't find these files anywhere.
stardat.mpq
broodat.mpq
patch_rt.mpq

These are the errors that pops up when I launch SCMDraft with just the custom unit MPQ file I've made.







Please help and thank you.

If anything, how do I properly change/"create" unit abilities and stats.

=== EDIT ===

Not sure if this latter part changes anything but after dabbling with naming the file and placing it in my starcraft directory, these pop ups happen.

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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

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?

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
