Creating custom icons for hero abilities

Now double click on something you want to change.
For this example lets change attack type chaos.

Now go into the import part of it and open it

Now click ok
Now scroll down a lot till you get to “chaos” or whatever your doing(its in alphabetical order)

NOTE: if you don’t have a upgrade icon(small black box in lower left corner of icon) to show what upgrade it has just use the same icon as no upgrade.
Now scroll down

I already edited my stuff now just click one of these and change its value then click ok and your done!
congrats you know how to change icons names descriptions combat damage and hero stats.
Also to change the name of strength for heros and stuff like that do the same thing as you I did to chaos its in general-text remember its in alphabetic order

ok, when you edit how much X type of weapon does to Y type of armor, in the constant thingy, is 1.00 = REgular damage? and 2.00 = Twice as damage?

i havent accually tested this to make sure but im pretty sure.

NoobMagok, when you edit how much X type of weapon does to Y type of armor, in the constant thingy, is 1.00 = REgular damage? and 2.00 = Twice as damage?

Yeah, thats right.

It goes as percents in decimal form, like 0.50 is 50% damage, and 100.00 (the max) is 10000% damage.

so 2.00 would be 200% or 2x damage.
