Game interface

[artix123]

Hey guys,

I realised that everytime I edit something in the game interface (such as changing the tooltip for Heavy Armor or something), it will not show up properly in the game. For example if I change

"Heavy armor takes extra damage from Magic attacks."

to

"Heavy armor takes extra damage from Magic attacks and slightly reduced damage from Normal attacks."

When I launch my Warcraft, it will show this in the game:

"Heavy armor takes extra damage from Magic attacks"

Notice the fullstop is gone, I don't know why, does anyone know why this happens? Thank you very much.

P/S: Also, does the skill Runed Bracers reduce damage from Magic attacks?

I have a feeling that UI tooltips do not allow fullstops or commas, although it may be possible to use them if you escape the character with a \.

 

[artix123]

What do you mean by escaping the character?

 

[UndeadDragon]

Just put a \ in front of the character.

E.g: Hello\, my name is UndeadDragon\.

Just tested, now it shows "Heavy armor takes extra damage from Magic attacks\" lol.

It happens in almost every single map I tried to edit.

edit: tested again, same results ("attacks/")

Maby it should be /

In the game interface every armor type has 3 "interface" messages. Make sure you edit all of them (not just the first), and try not to use commas as said above.
Secondly, there is a box somewhere "use custom game interface" at the top left, obviously this needs to be activated.

Also, as a test, why don't you remove all the text and replace it with "test 1 2 3"

As of now, we don't know whether it shows the default value or just omits your added text for some reason.

Ok, apparently it's the comma's problem, as when I replace it by

"Heavy armor takes extra damage from Magic attacks and slightly reduced damage from Normal, Piercing and Siege attacks."

It will show

"Heavy armor takes extra damage from Magic attacks and slightly reduced damage from Normal"

I guess this shows that the World Editor doesn't like commas - - But why? Is it just a limitation of the World Editor? And the unedited values with commas in them works - -

P/S: Also, does the skill Runed Bracers reduce damage from Magic attacks?

Spell Damage Reduction does reduce damage from magic attacks, same as Elune's Grace.
