Changing Weapon and Armour types?

I'm trying to find the .txt files referring to the armour and weapon classes of all units in warcraft. I need to be able to edit the strings and the .blp look of them. Does anyone know where I can find them? or if they are actually stored in the mpq at all?

Thanks in advance.

The weapons data for units is in Units\UnitWeapons.slk
The Armor type data for units is in Units\UnitBalance.slk

The attack art is in Units\*race*unitfunc.txt

But please elaborate a bit more about the 'look' of weapons/armors you want to change, as it is a bit vague asked like that.

Thanks

Regards

Hmm, well I don't really mean change what weapon and armour types the units actually use, I mean what the icon for any weapon type of say, piercing is, and also to be able to change the string text depicting the weapon.

Essentially I was going to try making an altered melee map were the units are based on elements. Then I planned to substitute the current armour and weapon types to each of the main elements(fire, ice, earth etc) and alter the values for their damage to more drastic amounts like fire deals only 10% to ice. Thus making the game all about knowing your enemy and scouting. It was mostly just a thought in my head, but I was hoping to be able to test it out a little.

The armor / attack icons are in UI\Widgets\Console\ and subfolders.

As for the attack/armor ratios, they're unfortunately in MiscData.txt, then i am afraid it will only work in single player.

So essentially I can replace the current weapon and armour system by replacing the .blp's themselves, however the strings for them are hardcoded and cannot be changed, and the percentages I already discovered those before so don't worry. Hmm, well if I can't change the strings there's not much point...but never mind it was just a thought for a map.

Thankyou for your help
