armor/attack types

im putting this in map development because i didnt know which category to put it under. so anyway, i was wondering, is there a way i can add attack or armor types that units can attack/defend with? (e.g. magic attack, or fortified armor)

Not without SLK/String/BLP editing.

thats what i mean, i want to do slk/string editting to do this

You would also need to edit the data files that say "Magic dmg does 200% damage to heavy armor" and the like. I don't think thats possible.

As far as I know, there are no ways to add new attack and armor types (if there is, let me know!)

You can alter the images used for attack and armor types using the Editor's built-in Game Interface Editor..

You can alter how much damage each attack type does to each armor type in Game Constants..

You can alter the tool-tips for attack and armor type by editing the UI\FrameDef\InfoPanelStrings.fdf (use notepad) in your War3xlocal.mpq, and importing the changed version into your map..

(Also note that InfoPanelStrings.fdf is in three different locations in the MPQ. The smaller ones are for use with RoC, pre Magic/Hero/Unarmored and such)
