Spell Editing Help Needed

ok i was browsing through fanarims tutorial and the "Warcraft 3 Spell Editing" tutorial and i took up some few pointers from there to help me edit spells

i hope this is the right forum for this

anyway here goes exactly what i did

1) opening up winmpq and loaded war3.mpq
2) filtered for .txt, and then found and extracted UndeadAbilityFunc.txt and UndeadAbilityStrings.txt into a private folder for editing
3) i then opened both of those with notepad and proceeded to edit the properties of deathcoil the hero death knight skill, for the strings.txt i just changed the name from death coil to death sinthe just to test out if i can actually get it to work so then later i would edit more indepth
4) for func.txt i changed the missile art to the freezingbreath.mdl art since the string was right in there so i CNPed, and i changed the art and researchbuttonart to the freezingbreath passive button string since it was also there, i also just erased the .mdl special art string that was for the death coil, this was just part of my test
5) i then save both and proceed to the next step of getting it to work in my map
6) i then open back winmpq and load up my .w3m map file i would insert it in to test to see if the edit worked
7) i then added both .txt files in, and to note to everyone in that "folder base.." i typed --> Units\ <--- since the .txt was UndeadAbilityFunc.txt etc. and it would go after the Units\ once i saved it, i assumed this is how you do it since for like editing skins and stuff i just put units\orc\peon\ and then peon.blp would go after that once saved
8 ) after i inserted both .txt files using #7's method i then proceed to go in wc3 game and load up the map and play it and see if my edits worked, well they didn't

i need help from anyone, please inform me if i missed a step, if i did something wrong or whatever you definitely know i didnt do or what i should try

im just editing pre existing spells before i get into making completely new ones

i have this thread also in the modelling forum but some people said wrong forum so i made this one here, hope i can get better help here

thanks for any feedback

eeek cant neone help me

i give up screw it

Nightblade, are you:

- Using a loading screen instead of the 'default' one? If so, take it back to default

- Using the "Test Map" function at all?

- Opening the map after saving it?

always check spelling, u never know

im so glad some people replied, i rly need to edit spells for my map

anyway tapek heres what i did

-ok i am using the nightelf campaing 04 load screen i think, im not using the default one so ur saying take the map back to default load screen then implement my skills again and see if it works?

for the last 2 everytime i implement the skills i NEVER open up that map, what i do is once i winmpq it in i then open up warcraft 3 the game go to single player go to custom game then get my map where i put in the edited skills and start it up to test it in game, i never did open the WE or save the map after implementing skills

and pigchow ill check for typoes more carefully but im sure i aint typo
