Help would be appreciated :(

I've been sitting with the editor and the ability files for far too long now without figuring this one out, i've also checked the forums for advice but either there is none or i managed not to find it.

My custom spell does not appear in the game even though it appears in the editor.

I have given a unit the ability but it does not show up.

I edited the posession ability so that only the code was using the original setting.
I edited the undead ability files so that i had a new alias and überalias. [abb6].
Everything looked ok, but yet when i started up the game there was no damn ability there.
At first i thought it might be because the func still had a required amount of one, but i changed the relevant uppgrade to researched for the map and yet nothing happened.
I added the files to the map with mpq2k using the mpq2k a and A variables but nothing changed from that. (of coz)
Should i have made a new spell in the slk file or is it something in the text files that funks it up? or has it to do with my choice of ability for a base?
I regret having to go to bed without having cracked this nut on my own, but i'm not up to sitting another 10 hours trying to figure it out if it can be avoided with some outside help.

Did you use the path Units\ when importing your slk and txt files?
The files should appear as Units\AbilityData.slk, Units\UndeadAbilityfunc.txt etc. when imported into the map file.

Paths in the map are case sensitive, make sure it is Units\-Your file-

oh man... i can't belive i forgot that ._. thanks alot, now it works just fine

Or well... no. The ability show up in the wrong place with a tooltip missing icon. I know this is a common problem and have a simple solution, change the loading screen to default. but it IS allready set to default and this still happens, yet it fixes itself once you reload the map. But that still makes it quite anoying if the map is going to be for battlenet use.
Any idea what it can be if it is not a loading screen problem?

Using a custom loading screen? Try setting it to the default if you are
