A failed attempt at RoC-style buff editing.

Greets.

I used to do extensive buff editing by importing <race>AbilityFunc.txt and <race>AbilityStrings.txt files in RoC. Since TFT, I haven't gotten a map to the point where it's finished enough for me to start working on the buff editing, until now.

I sucked out the most recent HumanAbilityFunc.txt from war3x.mpq and edited the buffart for the Blizzard spell, changing it to the falling green infernal meteor.
Here's the original data:
Quote:

Effectart=Abilities\Spells\Human\Blizzard\BlizzardTarget.mdl
Effectsoundlooped=BlizzardLoop
Effectsound=BlizzardWave
And here's my data:
Quote:
[XHbz]
Targetart=Units\Demon\Infernal\InfernalBirth.mdl
I inserted the file into my map via the Import Editor, and renamed the path to Units\HumanAbilityFunc.txt, but the buff art isn't changed, in-game.

Am I missing something?

EDIT: Nevermind. It's clear to me now that at some point, I inadvertently swapped Effectart for Targetart. Whoops.
