How do I make a field that belongs to an upgrade show up in the upgrade editor? For example, you have the upgrade attack dice bonus which has two fields; attack dice bonus - base and attack dice bonus - increment. What if it had a third field(it doesn't) call it, min damage bonus, that was in the slk but not in the editor. How would I get the third field to show up in the editor so I don't need to import a new slk file if I wanted to change it? I've checked upgrademetadata and, while the field is there, I can't figure out how to get it to display in the editor |

add the field to UpgradeMetaData.slk |

...It is in upgrademetadata already...it was always there, it just doesn't show up in the editor... |

Sounds like you're talking about the Marksmanship upgrade for NE Archers. If you look at that upgrade, you will see it uses Attack Damage Bonus. Is this what you are looking for? |

No, there's a field in there, code1(and 2 and 3), that I'm trying to get to show up in the editor... |

In the UnitMetaData.slk, there are columns for if the value shows up for heros, units, and buildings. Setting a value in one of these columns to 1 will enable that row's data for that column's unit type. I don't know about upgrades, but if it's in there, that's what you're looking for. Those columns were on the right side of UnitMetaData.slk. If so, once you've edited the file, add it to your Warcraft 3 directory in the appropriate subfolder, and the WE will recognize it. You don't need to add it to your map unless it's something that isn't enabled for anything (I'm a little hazy on why this is; ask ChrydGod for more info). |

No, there's nothing in UpgradeMetadata (or UpgradeEffectMetadata) that says "in editor" like there is in UnitMetadata...Suppose I'll just edit the file and see if it does what I want before I go importing it since no one seems to be able to figure this one out ;) I'll attach upgrademetadata if anyone wants it... |
