Skill bug or...?

This certain problem is preventing me from making balanced heroes in my RPG map. For example, when I give my Fighter hero (model and interface icon changed from Mountain King to Human Captain) the following abilities: WarStomp, Reincarnation, Endurance Aura, and Thunderclap and test those skills on the map, Reincarnation and Bash are located on the top right and top middle slots when i click Hero Abilities. and then warstomp and endurance aura are located in the middle left and middle slots. What's more weird is that when i use a skill point on reincarnation, it...DISAPPEARS from my hero's ability selection, so now i am left with bash and warstomp (endurance aura disappeared also). From then on my hero can only use Bash and Warstomp, yet the Endurance Aura is still used by my hero despite my inability to see it as an active skill. So there's my problem, disappearing skills. Can anyone offer an explanation/solution for this? If u can It'd be really helpful and i can then balance my heroes...

The problem is that the icons are placed on the same x,y position and they get the same postion, leaving you with this strange thing on the hands. For an example, you should edit "Units\HumanAbilityFunc.txt" and select new x,y positions for the icons to avoid them gettting replaced by another one. ALso, you may need to edit "Units\OrcAbilityFunc.txt" , "Units\UndeadAbilityFunc.txt" and "Units\NightElfAbilityFunc.txt", dependind wich skills you're using on yor map.
After editing those "*.txt" files, place them back on your map using WINMPQ.

Now, doing editing like that, will it cause the MP game to not work?
