Hi my name's ramon and I need help on Wc3 Editor
I'm currently on making an RPG project map like Ilyas's FF epic RPG and the FForever RPg.

questions:
1. How do you make buffs appear exactly the same as your "custom" abilities (ex: I edited berserk (orc unit) changed the name and ability to Burning Rage, yet the buff/status on my hero still says berserk with the "old" icon)

2. How do you make summoned unit exactly the same as your "custom" summoned unit (ex: I edited summon water elemental (human archmage) to summon fire elemental, yet the unit status bar ;the blue bar showing the duration of the unit; says water elemental, changed it again and it says Feral Spirit (orc Hero))

3. I added some passive abilities to my Spellbook (item ability) and assign it to my hero, but when I run my map Wc3:TFT CRASHED?!? What gives?! (trying to copy D3Fiance ORPG skillsets my bad...)

4. I made 2 Maps, 1 for testing 1 for the actual map.. I tested new Items, triggers, units on the test map and Import/Export to my actual map. Will this crash the game stability?

5. How do you change the weapon text tooltip (ex: normal, piercing, hero, chaos, etc) to a custom one?
6. same as number 5 except for armor
7. same as number 5 except for Strength, agility, and Int. also the tooltip for (1 str adds 25 HP, every x agility adds x armor, 1 int adds 15 HP) I changed the armor/agility ratio and it wont show in the tooltip, it just says 0. Also can I get an [armor/agility/damage tutorial??]

8. I'm trying to change the icon for lumber/wood (the upper right corner of screen, you know the gold, lumber, food) I need only change the lumber -> magic crystal, i changed the Icon (kinda sucks I used the stones.blp) but how do you change the tooltip? it says "the amount of lumber you have". It's not available in the Game-constants or Game-Interface editor so how exactly do I edit it?

9. I made my maps based on the FForever by clan TDG, for the fact that they discontinued the damn map, and a couple of Ideas from WoW and Ilyas's FF Epic Rpg, for those 2 maps are the best FF map so far IMHO.

10. Is there a more practical way to edit the tooltip in the Ability - Auto Fill Ability Function? (ex: stormbolt damage, if level 1 is 100 damage, I can autofill it according to level, but if lv 1 is 75 damage, I have to MANUALLY edit the damn damage in the TOOLTIP section. I checked the old skills it says deals <A03> somethin2. what's A03? is it like the Ability ID? how do I find out what my "custom ability" ID is?!?

11. MUSIC- how do I make a playlist?!? the trigger is confusing, I wanna put in my own MP3 (will this increase map size dramatically?) and put them in a random order so my map won't play any Blizzard™ music.

12. TRIGGER-FLOATING TEXT- I'm trying to make a floating text above stores/merchants, and this is what it looks like
Potion Merchant <== My text
0
W <== My Unit
and I wanna make it like this
Potion Merchant <== My text
O
W <== My unit
There's no Auto Center Text function... unlike Microsoft™ Word™

13. Um... That's All I Can think of Right now.

THX GUYS I HOPE SOME REALLY WIZE GUY CAN HELP ME OUT.
Oh and please send the reply to:

Only no 12 answered....

Owkay so question No. 12 is answered.... halfway anyway, but in my map I don't place any units on the map. Just regions, FULL Triggers on placing the units on the map. I did it to reduce the map memory I use trigger ->

set variable
set UnitX[0] = Merchant01
set UnitX[1] = Merchant02
and so on...

then run trigger PlaceStartingBuildings
unit - create unit
create 1 UnitX[0] at CityMerchant01 for Neutral Passive
and so on...

but if I place the floating text, I need to adjust (place floating text to point Xofpoint(center of regionX - 10), YofPoint(center of regionX)
I think that's the trigger, but It didn't WORK! the floating text still start on top of the unit and not centered! and after some time the Floating text dissapears (so i place action -> wait 20 seconds then run trigger -> run this trigger). anyway any other suggestions?

Oh yeah and the rest of my questions has no replies yet... ANYONE PLEAZE?

oh yeah thx "The Death_Stalker" for the software suggestion.
