Alright, this shouldnt be too hard but i dont have much knowlage about this stuff.

I made a new grp, and i dont want to make a custom grp for the engines because the scout engines fit pretty well. I want to ofset the engine overlay a bit, i could modify the actuall grp but i beleive you can use an lo file to do this. (i know how to edit lo files) Im using a protoss shuttle, but it is using dropship for graphics so its using the dropship iscript. Can i give the shuttle an lo for engines? is there iscript stuff i need to do? or is it just datedit.

Thanks, if its a problem that the shuttle is using dropship iscrpit i can change that easily enough.

You can change the position of it in iscript, I believe. The numbers in the imgol/imgul define its x/y coordinates. I remember doing it for the Valkyrie's alternate engine glow.

i know you can change the possition in iscript, but that sets the possition for all the images, so if you move it 5 up, it will do that for all the frames and thats not what i want. MY question is how to use a lo file to offset.

Use PyLO or LoEdit to modify .lo? files. Or you can go to images.dat and change special overlays placement to the one for dropships.

Oh, I misinterpreted your question. As I pointed out over here, and as FTS so aptly pointed out, you can change the .lo? file a unit uses in images.dat.

okay so i changed the lo to be phoenix.lol in images, but is this all i need to do? It doesnt do anything...
I tried changing the imgol to imgoluselo but it crashed.

hah yeah in the past that might've been up my alley. haven't really been mapping lately, been too busy with everything else. and kinda lost interest too tbh. just not enough people left on SC to feel worth investing the time personally.
