Cool stuff!
For those without CS* you can get Paint.net or Gimp for free, both very good tools. As for being compatible with this filetype, google is your friend!
By the way one of your links does not work. Another thing, i managed to get the dds.8bi file and installed it to photoshop and it is in my photoshop plugins folder:
C:\Users\Kevin\Documents\Photoshop\Plug-Ins\File Formats\dds.8bi
Now that its in there i start photoshop, click file > open > zealot_diffuse.dds
Then this pops up:

This is what i get when i click your link:
-Photoshop with the Nvidia plugin for reading .dds files (found here (http://[/u) )

This is awesome! I can fill my time with this waiting for the Galaxy Editor :P
I love how my new re-skinned game looks! Check it out!

On a more serious note though, WTF is this? :P
I used the Marine Diffuse and did exactly as you said (or apparantly not if you know this problem) do you know the solution to this? :D
Since i asked first, i would like a solution first. >:(
Kevin click the following link:
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/tools/texturetools/Photoshop_Plugins_8.23.1101.1715.exe (http://developer.download.nvidia.com/tools/texturetools/Photoshop_Plugins_8.23.1101.1715.exe)
Download that file and run the setup, run through it and make sure it shows the correct path to the folder where Photoshop is installed. Finish the setup, exit Photoshop (If you had it running) start Photoshop et voila, it should work now :)
I am uploading my prob to youtube, give link tomorrow, i need sleep now.
RAINBOW ZEALOTS! :P
@duvigneau - that happened to me a couple of times. It turned out I still had the mpq open in the mpq editor. Just close it and reboot starcraft.

Nothing spectacular, just changing the color of the Protoss Advisor... I kinda like him this way.

its seem that if you chnage anythig other than the color without changing the other files it wont work and you will get the above error, spheres
Anyone think there would be a way to reskin a lot of the units to their original starcraft/broodwar skins so it could run on lower spec computers smoother? when i play it starts to lag when a certain amount of units get built :P

SC1 used sprites.
SC2 uses 3D models.
Not possible.
damn...stupid integrated video card
Most likely you do not need to pack the textures back to MPQ. SC2 loads local files aswell, just place them in your installation folder, in the correct path( like C:\Programs\SC2\Assets\Units\Terrran\Marine\Marine.m3), works well to: http://imagr.eu/up/4b85409a84f76_Screenshot000.Jpg (http://imagr.eu/up/4b85409a84f76_Screenshot000.Jpg)
