inserting custom tooltips and icons for spells into maps

Can anyone tell me how to insert custom spell icons and spell tooltips into warcraft 3 maps. I edited the AbilityData.slk file and used TechMPQ to insert it into my map and that worked. But when I edited the [RaceName]AbiltyStrings.txt and [RaceName]AbiltyFunc.txt files and inserted them into the map using TechMPQ (like with AbilityData.slk) it did not work.

I know someone must know how to do it because whoever made Defense of the Ancients apparently knows how.

I'm making a new World of WarCraft maps and would really appreciate if someone could tell me what im doing wrong and how to do it right so I can make my new World of WarCraft map even better than the first one I made.

Make sure you changed the uberAlias in the AbilityData.slk to your own ability code, and make sure you edited the txt files code to your own ability code.

You have to look at all *abilitystrings.txt (e.g.: orcabilitystrings.txt) and edit them. As harrykarry said you have to look at the ID.
