I've heard many people talk about the UI folder, what is and where is the UI folder, Is it one of the folders in the main mpqs? (i haven't bothered to check)

It is a folder in the main MPQ files I think, let me double check really quick.

EDIT: Yes, each of the main MPQ files (war3, war3x, war3patch) have a UI "folder" inside of them. I've found that you can override specific files in those folders by creating a UI folder in your Warcraft III folder and having a file inside that folder have the same name as one in the UI folder.

What the hell does the UI folder do? Sorry, I don't really look at Warcraft MPQs. No wait!... never mind.

It has information and files relating to the user interface (hence the name "UI")

The only reason I use mine is for the miscdata.txt file. There you can increase the max slope for terrain for WorldEdit, allowing for almost vertical slopes.

Nice... perhaps you could even set the UI to a skin of a unit... Man, that would look retarded.
