need help on editing hero abilities..

[NezZ]

can someone help me on how i can edit the abilities or skills of one hero.. (example: Pudge..if i want to increase the range of his meat hook,or how i can add a new ability/skill?) thx...

I'm assuming you no nothing on map editting therefor to explain how to edit an ability i'd have to write how all the editting programs work and i just cbf. Either read around on the forums and figure it out or make a request in the request section if you just wanted to edit the length of pudges hook i can easily do that for you

You will need MPQmaster and Jasscraft to edit the abilities.

i tried now to edit the the range of meathook of pudge...in the AbilityData.slk , but everytime i finish editting there's a problem i encounter,same i problem i encounter when i try editting the unitsdata.slk .. here it is..



and i also having problems of adding the "new" AbilityData.slk in the units folder..it is not appearing in the units folder.. what could be the possible problem? can anyone help me please?

Just answer YES to excel - keep the formating

Plus when replacing make sure that the map is not already in use by another program (not MPQ Master) like WE, if not then delete the original file and add it, no replace just add.

Or i think you didnt undertand that in order to replace a file you have to save the file somewhere outside the map and then add it in the map, otherwise the file will be unchanged.

At last if you need help read the stickies and dont double Post!

i've already done it..by extracting first the AbilityData.slk in the desktop.. and edit it in excel... and when am finish editting the RAW of codes i want to mess with..after saving it and deleting the old AbilityData.slk,when am trying to Add File(s) or reimporting the new AbilityData.slk(using MPQmaster) in the units folder of the map i used,still the AbilityData.slk didn't appear..

That's stupid MPQMaster for you. Somebody should update it. Try restarting your computer.
