Advanced Abilities

Hi

I have been digging around to find how to add more features to my WE. I downloaded NewGen editor but it doesnt have what i want: WEU's Ability editor. Is there a way to add it to my WE without downloading WEU itself?

I don't think it will be possible to do that..
WE is kinda very old so there's no like auto-download or something that seems similar today.
Using NewGen is very useful among the professional mapmakers. It has a several tools which can make the work easier and better like a better tool for editing tooltips and tooltip description.

Most professional mapmakers don't recommend using WEU due because they said that it's buggy.

Not even a patch like executable?

Also i only need the Ability Editor Part, or something. I edited a map, by mistake, and i found these settings:

If you managed to export the WEU's ability editor, I'm unsure how to add that tool into WE since I can't find a right link of adding tools into WE so I can't help it.

Also, what setting? Screenshots? Notes? I think you discontinued something.

If I may not mistaken, looks like it accidently implemented the ENTIRE abilities' stats into a single ability. Just wow. A single God-Like Ability.

Well....yeah. Thats why i am intrested in this. Btw notice how small is the scroll bar to the right. That will tell you how many things he/she added into one ability, every custom ability.

I did noticed that. Is this how the WEU's Ability Editor looked like when creating an ability in WEU?
If so then in-game, it's order string would be fatal if there's 2 or more spell that's both to each other but the only different it's stats and they're both non-passive. (Feel free to corrected me, I'm just too lazy to achieve an 300 post)

All right, here are my findings:

This is a bug.
This is almost certain NOT a function of WEU, although i dont have WEU to test it myself.
This was NOT intented by the creator.

You reached 300 posts btw.

EDIT: I will look for more bugs like this to confirm it being a bug, or just that map.

EDIT2: To resolve this: This has nothing to do with the creator of the map. If anyone is intrested you can find this bug if you create an ability, on a campaign map when is loaded. Not on campaign editor. I hope i am clear. Anyway if someone is intrested and has some time to spare can go exploit this. You can probably find this bug while using WE or NewGenWE. Just edit a map of a campaign.

WEU simply adds all ability fields to all abilities. This is done by modifying files. Do note that 99% of abilities will never use those fields. Does not look like what he is after?

The blue abilities are from the campaign editor? Guessing this is some part of that.

I used WE and JNGWE to a few more campaigns, like the demo W III had already, and they where the same. I dont think this is because of WEU. And yes this is what im after but I hoped the abilities would actually use the extra stuff. Whats the ability that can use the rest of the stuff?

They are from the campaign, yes.
