Guest | Well, ok, maybe not a total 'newbie' question BUT-- I know it is possible to create new hero abilities. I've heard people talking about it, I've SEEN it in maps I've played, but I can't find any information on it. I hear it involves MS Excel (which I have)... Could anyone elaborate please? I'd really like to know how to make my own abilities, and I'm sure a good answer to this question would aid other people stuck as I am. |

Guest | what do you mean by "creating new abilities"? are you talking about giving hero abilities that they currently don't have, or are you talking about creating an ability that's not in the game? |

MS Excel? U mean Weaaddar's hero spell position list? Strange it just shows where to place hero spells, not to create totally new ones. There are some not found in the 12 heroes though (like the demon ones) You can find out more here. http://www. campaigncreations.com/warcraft/worldedit/spabilities.shtml |

yes it does involve MS Excel, because you will need to edit SLKs, those are special files in which war3 reads datas. You will need to edit the two SLKs UnitAbilities.slk and AbilityData.slk, you can find slks inside war3.mpq. WARNING: This is a very hard thing to do for begginners, I suggest you master first the basics. |

Guest | Nevermind, I figured out how to do it on my own. :) |
