someone Help me on spell editing

I read the 101 spell editing section and some others but this things pissing me off. When i edit all the codes and everthing i go to the WE to see my ability I see its names but all the names of all the other abilitys are blank like this: ______ wtf is going on? And wheen i test my map my ability is the pic of some dude thats says missing tool tip, wtf is a tool tip jesus chris. also when im editing the raceabilityfunction.txt all the writting is in code is it suppose to be like that? MAN! help :mtk: ://// :gfu:

Only edit the uber alias. The code is for the data of the spell. Uberalias is for the tooltips.

Also, you must import the spells into the map after you open + save in we. if you dont your files will be deleted. If their not in the map in the first place, thats your problem.

Well, edit them both. But in the excel one all i gotta do is edit the alias and they work fine. Oh, and never change the code, the code is what determines what the spell acts like.

Ok the first thing i really just want to do is to be able to change the name of the ability. When I read the 101 ability editing tutorial it told me to put all the raceability.txt and abilitydata.slk into the units folder in my wc3 folder. To change an ability name I would edit the raceabilitystring.txt like chain lighting for example, this is what i see in the text when i open it:

// Chain Lightning
[AOcl]
Name=Öåïü ìîëÃÂ*èé
Tip="Öåïü ìîëÃÂ*èé, [|cffffcc00ÓðîâåÃÂ*ü 1|r] (|cffffcc00C|r)","Öåïü ...

So to change the name I just do something like this:

// Super Lightning
[AOcl]
Name=Super Lightning
Tip="Öåïü ìîëÃÂ*èé, [|cffffcc00ÓðîâåÃÂ*ü 1|r] (|cffffcc00C|r)","Öåïü ...

and then I save it. right..

well it don't work i get missing tooltip, wifobtw if im supose to save it to the map i dont know how, i know how to use dashiofdeath spell editor and save it to a map but his editor doesn't allow you to change the name as far as i know, toooltip, and button position and the button art. Well how do I change the name and tool tip, I know its all in the ability string but confusing me because its all in code:bangH:

Have u done any own spell before?

i can use dashiofdeath editor to make a spell do different stuff but i just want to change tool tip. anyways this sucks been going in circles now i learn that the stringtxt not in code my txt file was just messed up so i thought i was going somewhere but i get teh same missing tooltip bulshit. I think i got to save it specifically to map so how the hell do i do that guys, god tell me :cuss: :bangH: :bangH: :bangH: :bangH:

Ahahaha Sweet I finally got thats bitch working its still tells me im missing tooltip and it dont have a picture for my ability but i think im getting closer at least son of a bitch:gsmile:

You extracted the file from the patch.mpq file and got the wrong one out of the list, re-extract it, except only extract the first one.

And keep the cursing down please.

yea ease up on the cursing, your too relaxed here lol

i already figure out that those encoded txt were the incorrect one what i wanna know now is why the bloody hell i keep getting missing tool tip when i already edit the stringtxt file and why am i missing abutton. All i did was copy the blizzard speel make a few modification on its mana cos and range. and gave it a new name. the spell words fine just missing art and tool tip. I use dashiofdeath to imported it to my map. Im thinking that i have to import like blp file to my map to to see the art ofcousre that still doesnt explaint the freaking bastarly tooltip. fjlsdkfjljflsdkj :bangH:

WOHOO!! It works I got it bitch in your face mf! Tool ti[ps must DIE AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA haahhahah dfjkdjf ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh look it works ahahhahaha now i can go make my hero arena map finally jesus christ :dance:

ps any newbies need help ask me now that im an expert, spell editting? piece of cake mwahahah8)

AZN 2 Warnings:
-Keep the cursing down
-Use the edit button instead of creating a new post every time, spam isn't tolerated too well here.

mind telling me where i can find the dashiofdeath spell editor?

colin do you have TFT? or RoC?

if you have RoC its better to edit the files from the mpq than using the spell editors seeing as when i used em they just didn't work...they would lag my map excessively

Here is an Idea Get TFT and edit it with the spell editor insted of throwing a dam fit.
