I know that Excel can open and work with .slk files, however, I can't afford it, and I don't download ripped software. I also know that you can open it with notepad, however I would like an editor that makes it easier to edit. So my question is are there any newer dedicated SLK editors or something similar? |

I've made an SLK editor a while ago. Try it: http://www20.brinkster.com/magos818/...r3slkedit.html |

Yeah I tried that one, unfortunately it doesn't sort the codes by name, and it isn't possible to create a spell based on another one. Instead I'll just have to stop being lazy and do it in notepad, which I currently am. :) But thanks, anyway. |

How do you work with SLK files? I opened one up and I was so confused. ://// My main goal is to create new abilities via SLK's. |

Well, first I find the abilitycode for the ability in NightElfAbilityFunc.txt, HumanAbilityFunc.txt, etc. and then I search for the code in AbilityData.slk then I copy all from that code to the next code (looks something like this: C;Y105;X1;K"Aenc" C;X2;K"Aenc" C;X3;K"Aenc" C;X4;K"Cargo Hold (Entangled Gold Mine)" C;X5;K0 C;X6;K0 C;X7;K0 C;X8;K"unit" C;X9;K1 C;X10;K1 C;X11;K0 C;X12;K"ground,player" C;X13;K0 C;X14;K0 C;X15;K0 C;X16;K0 C;X17;K0 C;X18;K"-" C;X19;K80 C;X20;K5 C;X21;K"-" C;X22;K"-" C;X23;K"-" C;X25;K"-" C;X26;K"-" C;X27;K"-" C;X28;K"-" C;X29;K"-" C;X30;K"-" C;X31;K"-" C;X32;K"-" C;X33;K"-" C;X34;K"-" C;X35;K"-" C;X37;K"-" C;X38;K"-" C;X39;K"-" C;X40;K"-" C;X41;K"-" C;X42;K"-" C;X43;K"-" C;X44;K"-" C;X45;K"-" C;X46;K"-" C;X47;K"-" C;X50;K"-";EIF(ISNUMBER(RC[-37]),IF(ISNUMBER(RC[-25])<>ISNUMBER(RC[-13]),"@","-"),"-") C;X51;K"-";EIF(ISNUMBER(RC[-37]),IF(ISNUMBER(RC[-25])<>ISNUMBER(RC[-13]),"@","-"),"-") C;X52;K"-";EIF(ISNUMBER(RC[-37]),IF(ISNUMBER(RC[-25])<>ISNUMBER(RC[-13]),"@","-"),"-") C;X53;K"-";EIF(ISNUMBER(RC[-37]),IF(ISNUMBER(RC[-25])<>ISNUMBER(RC[-13]),"@","-"),"-") C;X54;K"-";EIF(ISNUMBER(RC[-37]),IF(ISNUMBER(RC[-25])<>ISNUMBER(RC[-13]),"@","-"),"-") C;X55;K"-";EIF(ISNUMBER(RC[-37]),IF(ISNUMBER(RC[-25])<>ISNUMBER(RC[-13]),"@","-"),"-") C;X56;K"-";EIF(ISNUMBER(RC[-37]),IF(ISNUMBER(RC[-25])<>ISNUMBER(RC[-13]),"@","-"),"-") ) and paste it at the buttom of AbilityData.slk just before the end E. I haven't tested it yet as it turned out defense did all I wanted my new spell to do. :) |

I didn't know that but without out the sorting it doesn't do much good anyway. :) |

get open office (google -> "open office"). it's like microsoft's office (more or less) but it's absolutely free. there's only one minor bug: when saving the file it wants you to save as an open-office-format but you can choose "No". it will alter the file anyway so it won't work but i've a work around for it. well, i don't want to explain it now - just write if you download it, then i'll explain the work around... |

I accidently stumbled across this SYLK editor. The interface reminds of Excel. http://www.smempire.org/projects/SYLK-Pad/ Just thought I'd mention it here ^^. |

Use the W3M Map Utilities :), [Etc]-[SLK Editor].  |

Vesion 1.05 is out with a sorting functionality. You can sort the codes in alphabetical order. |

Does one of these programms also show the comments? |

SYLK-Pad does. I don't know about the others, as I have not used them, on account of the fact that I have excel. |
