n00b question (regarding spells)

I have WC3:RoC. Cant find where to edit spellz >_> I remember doing it once before, but that was when i had TFT... is spell editing a TFT-only thing? I thought it was supposed to be in the Object Editor with its own little tab...

Its tft only.

BUT spellz editing in RoC is possible anyways. You need to export .slk and .txt files under Units\ from war3patch.mpq (war3patch! not war3 or war3x! beware!) using War3ModelEditor by Magos (includes listfile for 1.20). Edit them (.slk using Excel, .txt using Notepad) and import them into your map file by same tool or using WinMPQ under path they were before (eg. Units\AbilityData.slk). Do this after you save the map, and every time after you save the map. Now you have imba spellz!

he wrote spells with a z. I dont think he'll be able to follow a single word you said.

Fixed! :)

lol, i was tired and just coming from a chat room ^_^ I've made maps before (like my own version of Resident Evil), so i knew there was supposed to be a way to edit spells, but it confsed me that I couldnt find them last night :-/ Unfortunately, i forgot I downgraded to RoC =_= (lost my old comp along with my CD key in the last hurricane...)

Thanks JaceK! It took me a while, but I figured it out ^_^

Have it worked for you? o_O if it did, then I'll make a tutorial for poor RoC users :)

:-/ Nope, it didnt. It says it cant find War3X.mpq, something I guess it needs to launch in the first place. A FTF file maybe? *sigh* oh well

he did say: "(war3patch! not war3 or war3x! beware!)"

war3x.mpq otherwise is the tft file (x stands for expansion).

yes, thats what he said, but I the application he said to dl doesnt open unless i have that file. Needing it to run the program and opening it with the program is 2 differant things

just use WinMPQ or PowerMPQ then.

Also try a search, there should be some old spell editing tutorials around here somehwere, was even a program to automate the process at one point.
