Title: A question about changing unit data
Post by: somnu on November 05, 2015, 08:42:44 AM: Hello my friends,

I play this game a lot with a friend of mine in LAN and we always make our own maps and edit them as much as we can with UTDaed or Puddraft, but we always wondered how would we go about changing some of its more complicated mechanics like spell mana cost or spell damage coefficient. Like for example change the damage of death coil or reduce the mana cost of invisibility and heal or even change the movement speed of certain units(don't know if it can be done). What would be the best way of going about this problem and where would we find these fields to edit ?

We both use the bnet edition so editing the maindat.war is out of the question.

I'm sure you would need to modify the war2.exe to all those changes you want! Not such an easy task but can be done. Well let me know if you have more questions.

That is already an option in a map editor? Too big will crash you but i went small and it was cool.
