You can't import slk files into maps. Well, you can, but it won't work. The slk files are automatically loaded into memory when war3 is started up, and they are ignored if placed into a map. What you need to do is import the slk into war3patch.mpq, and the spell should work. You won't be able to use it in multiplayer, but for single player it will work fine. |

no, this spell wont work! because you cant make really "new" spells Making totally new entry in the slk, never create a spell. The only thing you can do is a copy an existing spell, and modify his effect (model and spell effect) samsuffy |

oh, the tutorial said that you could make a new spell that used the same logic as a previous one (I used starfall's logic, just edited timings and dmg etc) =/ /me adds another thing to the list of things he wants in the next patch :bgrun: |

thats correct, but you used code=aoap and that aint the starfall id code. What Nic meant and what samsuffy meant was that the code field(second collumn) for your spell must have an existing code in it. in this case, you used aoap, an unknown spell id code. insert the starcall idcode in it: AEsf then it works of course, you will stumble upon a problem which I seem to camp since the beta=you cant change buffer art =P unless you override the old one |
