Need Ability editing help

I need some help putting my edited abilitydata.slk in my map.
Because I'm doing something wrong.

Here's what I do:
a)I open my map using winmpq
b)I add the abilitydata.slk without putting units\ in front of it.

if I open the map with the map editor after that and i try to add a hero ability it doesn't show any abilities.

Can somebody solve my problem?

You have to put Units\ in front of it. Otherwise you can't get it to work.

Hey Morpheus126 I just learned how to spell edit, now i spell edit maps for my friend. I see you need some help he is an advice that you will get in like 2 sec. and will spell edit wild..
First Of all I would recommend you to get TechMpq, It is much easyer to use, including add the files in, Get it here: Here it is
If that link dont work use this: Try here if the first dont work
Now when your done with your map! and your spell editing with the abilitydata.slk. Open techmpq and click on add/remove.
When you have clcik on this 3 boxes will appear top to bottom, the first is the file you want to add, in this case abilitydata.slk, so find that file, where ever you put the abilitdata.slk that you edit at.
Step 2) This second box is for the mpq or map you want to add it to, if its your mpq you want to add to make sure you make a backup! unless you dont want to play on battle.net no more. ANYWAYS find your map where ever you put the map you want to add the spells to.

STEP 3) this is the packed name of the file you want to add in our case abilitydata.slk, so in your last box, add this:
UNITS\ABILITYDATA.SLK

STEP 4) Click Mpq it, It will tell you add the file correct if you add correct.

There we are done! now put the map in your maps sile and run it with warcraft 3.

Note: if you open the map with worldeditor to edit some thing and save it, you will have to do this again because it will be earsed.

Sorry i really suck at explaining things the right way! But just follow my steps and i promise you it will work.

(If my list for the techmpq dont work, go to the download seccsion in this wonderful site.

TechMPQ is eaier to use? What, is the concept of dragging and dropping too complex for you, and you like to type in your file names at every step, and sometimes more than once per step?
