Guest | I am having a problem gettin edited .txt files to work in my map. I use WinMPQ, and i edited some spells in AbilityData.slk, and it works fine, but when i change stuff in the .txt files (UndeadAbilityStrings.txt for example) such as the name, and nothing happens! I import all the files into Units\. I must be doing it right because the spells work. Any thoughts to what mite be the problem? |

1. warcraft 3 is case sensitive i think 2. maybe you edited the .txt wrongly |

Guest | I seem to have the weird bug that happens to many people. The only way the .txt files work is if u restart the map. IS there any fix to this at all or is restarting the map the only solution? |

The problem is the loading screen. For some reason you have to restart the map if the loading screen is not set to "default" (custom screens do not work) . You can find the settings in the world editor under SCENARIO>LOADING SCREEN> then under loading screen graphics select "use default screen" |

Yeah that's what it is, using a custom loading screen (for some reason) tells war3 to look in the MPQ and skip map imports for txt's |

The Loading Screens, however, are for the campaigns, really... which may explain it |

Guest | the thing is i have it on the default loading screen.... |

Guest | Most people dont know that you DO NOT NEED default screen. You can also use a Preload Trigger. dethroze: copy the changes here... that we can take a look at it |
