I am trying to modify the gold, lumber, and build time for two upgrades; steel melee and steel armor. I want to change the lumber to 0 and the build time to 1. I havent decided on the gold costs yet but I want to modify them. I've attached a copy of my file becuase no matter what I cannot get this upgrade to work and I'm thinking its becuase I haven't modified this file correctly. Can somebody please take a look at it and tell me what, if at all, I have done wrong?

To impliment the file I used MPQ2k and the following command line:

mpq2k a mapname.w3m upgradedata.slk upgradedata.slk

The map and slk file are both in the mpq directory when i do this. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Oh yeah I'm using Excell to edit it. I'm thinking it might be Excell because it asks me what format I want to save it in when I go to save it. Any other editors out there that will do the job?

Forgot to attach the file. Man I wish this message board system allowed for file attachments when editing a post. Sorry admins.

Hmm... it should be
mpq2k a mapname.w3m upgradedata.slk Units\upgradedata.slk

Also I think that every .txt file related with upgrades and abilities should be stored also in the Units\ directory of the file when you import it.

you only need to add Units\upgradedata.slk to your map.

The other related files don´t needed to attach. I made a map with 255 upgrades, less costs for an upgrades and less time for each update and it works fine.

Edited with Excel.
