Secondly.....I want to edit da spell "feral Spirit"...and put it in my map.......i have edited da unitsorcabilityfunc.txt and unitsorcabilitystrings.txt(i juz changed the icon for it and it's description so it would suit my map) but how..do u put it in a MAP?

Put it in a map? You need a hero to cast it, right?

 

[Bluealert]

yep a hero needs to cast it....there is no big difference in da spell(all i am doing is juz replacing some of da words in da spell definitions)
Example---I want it to say "summon Black Hawks" instead of saying "summon Wolves"

but what i want to know is how do u put it in a map?????

by any chance is da " mpq implanter" also called mpq2k or techmpq (tell me which one is it??)

 

[Bluealert]

yo anyone here???

 

[US-Playboi-US]

Tech MPQ will work

Use tech MPQ or umm MPQ archiver if u see soemthing like that........ to extract stuff..... open war3.mpq with it and it shows most of the files used in the game.... such as unit models and stuff...

okay..thnx i think i got my file adding problem worked out But then how do i add the abilitydaata.slk to a map.............
For example in my map i want the sleep(neutral hostile)spell cost 5 mana(not 125 mana)...i have properly edited da file but it ddoesn't seem to work in da game(it still costs 125 mana)???
