How to create a custom ground texture?

How to create a custom ground texture? You know, those under the buildings. I browsed the MPQ, but couldn't find anything.
Or if I can't have custom, at least replace an existing.

Anyone knows?

I think you'd only be able to replace existing ones but dont quote me on that. Go to the unit editor and see the ground texture value select it and see if it shows you the filepath of the ground texture and if its possible to select a custom option. If so you can make a custom if not youll only be able to replace existing ones.

No, there is no path, only value of 4 letters.

Can someone tell me why it stretches the texture more? I got the smallest texture :

and it looks like this:

Should I chahnge the scaling to even smaller?

it stretches the texture

Open the texture with BLP Lab and select "Transparent 1 pixel border" from the Alpha channel options (choose the BLP1 format from the drop-down list when you save it).

You don't have to replace existing UberSplats; you can simply add a new row; just make sure the path of your texture is correct and the four-letter name is unique.

If the shift key is pressed while the "Art - Ground Texture" field is being opened, any UberSplat that is specified in the 'UberSplatData.slk' can be used by entering its four letter code. This also allows all standard UberSplats to be used, even those that are unused or intended for abilities (e.g. LSDL, UDSU, NVOL).

Okay, but since you've single-handedly occupied most of the forums, make sure to also get some sleep.
