tools for editing?

are there any tools that edit slk files other than ms excel? (or spell editors)

i havent been able to find any, which makes it pretty hard if you want to edit an slk that isnt abilitydata.slk

(btw, dont say notepad, that isnt easy to edit them with....)

Theres some open office thing, but it never worked for me. If your serious about spell editing, you will quickly become familiar with MS Excel, since it is currently the best spell editor available.

Really MS Excel is the easyest to use also!
You could use notepad.... But then you cant creat new spells only edit the other ones that game with the game.

The "some office thing" that Electro is referring to is called SunOffice. I understand that certain older versions of it worked, but the recent versions remove comment tags/perform a strange compression when saving the slk which conflicts with the way WC3 reads them. The developers have been made aware of this problem, but I am not aware of whether or not they will act to resolve it.

BTW guys: He's asking about others because he obviously doesn't have Microsoft office -_-.

i used ms exel to edit the world editor slk so it should work for slk editing :ggani:

If you want a spell editor to use go look at the ones listed here . Take a look at lordreds as it looks like the best one.

by the way unitui.slk is the WE enhancher sos for any one who has downloaded it i should of said extract it to the wc3 folder

OMG!!

Please people read what he is saying, he doesn't have Microsoft Office. Microsoft Excel comes with Microsoft Office. Therefore he doesn't have Microsoft Excel.

He is asking for altenative tools instead of Microsoft Excel because he doesn't have it, not because he can't use it. He wants it so he can use it to play with the other slk files, he doesn't need a spell editor, he obviously already has one.

Sheesh! :P

yes, what kharma said...... i think thats 2 out of 5 ppl that actually read the whole post.... its not like its very long


so...... let me say this again.....

are there any alternatives to using ms excel?

i have a spell editor and dont say notepad

map utilitys shoudl fix the one that comes with it in the next ver.

I think you should um....????:(

I haven't tried it yet but won't openoffice (openoffice.org) do the trick? (dunno if it support SILK format )

OpenOffice will work fine i've tried it!

get it on www.openoffice.org it's about 50mb dowload but it's totally free and OpenSource! instead of MSoffice:ggani:

Of course OpenOffice.org does the job. The only bad thing about it is that it doesn't read the comments.

I think this one stones!
