Hah, okay i changed plague's buff duration to "20", trying to restore it to it's original duration and upon trying to save the file, I got an error and now my spell file is very small in size and has a few lines of what appears to be Japanese. (luckily i have a backup). This is on Vista btw.

I wasn't able to recreate the error, not sure how I did it. Make sure to backup your spells though.

yes i got this error too by simply clicking random spells
this seem to be IDENTICAL to the error in the my "german" editor

usualy the effect of such error woudl be that file gets corrupted, huge number of values become lost/cut off (file would loose 50% of its data at random) and atempt to use it in game result in some HIDEOUS effects up to the spell castign freeze or client crash.

basicly in my "german" editor I NEVER used the saved file. Once new spell was added, I woudl go into file with a Notepad, copy the line for new spell only and paste into original version fo the spell file and then sve it manualy in Notepad. This was the ONLY way to prevent file corruption


my BEST guess is that thre are VERY FEW very specific spells in the spell file that have extra UNIQUE fields which most spells do not have and when editor tries to save those fields which are not accounted for - you get the error

Any time you happen to load a spell that has parts that arent properly defined you will corrupt your spell file unless you restart the application.

If you find any more "broken" spells post the names and ill fix the missing definitions.

New code with updated definitions.
Fixed compatibility with approximately 1900 spells.

Known bugs --
Spell list by Name can sometimes mess up the order of List by ID
Make sure to load a spell before trying to use list by ID or it will crash

I can't figure this out, but for some reason when I start the spell editor on my main PC it works fine, but when I start it on my Server PC, it gives me this error and won't start at all:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to terminate the application.

Maybe I am missing some driver? Gonna do some searching around I guess. Both PCs are running windows XP SP2.

Well, a little Google searching solved my problem lol.

If anyone else has this issue, all you have to do is install the Microsoft .NET Framework found here:
