Spell Editing Problems

Hey everyone, i've been using the "RedScull Spell Editor". It has been very easy to use but when i get into the world editor to give my heroes the hero abilities, the entire list is just blank lines like this: ___. The only abilities which actually have names are those which i just created so i used them on my heroes. When i tested out the map, i tried to give my heroes the abilities but all it showed were those pictures of that programmer's face. I clicked on him to research them but it did nothing and i also hovered above it and it said "tooltip missing". What is the problem and what can i do to fix it? By the way, i followed this tutorial

now load your map and the ability should work...if it says ''Tool Tip Missing'' and show the face of a guy..then its because you forgot the Main Description called Desc...to change it highlight your spell with Redskull's spell editor (duh) and press f9 and then add a description...


That could be your problem.

You should add the spells to your units using a unit editor or doing it manually using .slk editing

i did add a description but it still said tool tip missing and the names of abilities in world editor were still all blank lines. How do i add the spells using a unit editor? What unit editor?

Just remember that everytime you save the map in WE it deletes the files of the custom spells... everytime you save in WE you have to insert the mpq files into the map again.
