Which abilitydata.slk should be edited?

There are two, one in war3.mpq and one in war3x.mpq.
I'm, wanting to know, which one it is I should use to do custom spells with.
:ggani:

1: why not use the Ability editor in the TFT WE?


2: if it is for a campaign with own mpq, and its a mod for TFT, then the one in war3x.mpq

#1 the ability editor in the WE really lacks some of the things u just cant do without the .slk.

#2 the abilitydata.slk and <race>abilityfucs's are in the war3x.mpq, the <race>abilitystring's are in the war3xlocal.mpq

Here are the facts :

war3.mpq contains all the original data files for war3 ROC

war3x.mpq contains all the original data files for war3 TFT

war3patch.mpq contains all the updates for data files

war3xlocal seems to contain data files for custom campaigns.


If you want to edit any data file (txt, slk , ect) you first need to look in war3patch.mpq for it. If its not in it, it means it hasn't been changed by the patches, then you can grab them in war3x.mpq for TFT and war3.mpq for ROC

In this case, the new abilitydata.slk you are looking for is in war3patch.mpq


Regards

The files from war3.mpq are not recommended as they are from RoC 1.0. Also for RoC 1.10 you can use the TFT files as Blizzard added the same files in RoC 1.10. Even the TFt abilities can be found in the AbilityData.slk of RoC 1.10. But of course the spells cannot be used.

though there is no point in editing TFT slk... because the we has an inbuilt ability editing thing.

though if i had 2 edit on RoC i would edit the war3patch slk...

My Illidan avatar is better lol

what makes sense, if u want to edit it in TFT, is txt editing, to change the bufftips, thats the only thing that is unabled in the inbuild editor, and the alias and the uberAlias in the slk, but the inbuild editor allows u to do things u r unable to do in slk editing.





ABE-Bloodspawn: sure ur avatar is better, cuz mine lies :P and my name is better then urs :P lol

No, that is not possible.

wha? can u make a lvl 20 ability in the slk? or what is it u mean?

Yes, you can make a level 20 ability via SLKs. Anything that is possible in the editor MUST be possible in the SLKs, because the editor takes it from there.
