Actually, this is one of the reasons why the spells table is so great. The scripts can work to import any type of spell file from any client even up to EQLive if you wanted. Even though the older clients lack the newer fields, the scripts and table are setup to work with any number of fields and just fill in default values for fields that are missing in the spell file that is imported. The good part is that spell files are backwards compatible. This means that if you then export your spells table back into a new spells_us.txt file, it will then work with any client version. The spell files are not forward compatible, so a Titanium spell file will not work for SoF. But, if you do the import/export, you can essentially convert a Titanium spell file to be compatible with the SoF client so all clients can use a matching spell file and also match the server.
