Basic custom spell not working

OK this is probably a stupid question, but it's really bugging me and i can't get it figured. I made an edited spell for my map but it won't implement any more (it used to work). The spell, Rock Golems, is simply Feral Spirit with different text, buttons and quick key - the actual golems are modified Feral spirits units in the map file.

I make a copy of the map i'm working on rename it "tester" in map properties and with TechMPQ add the modified files (with no less or extra =) "OrcAbilityFunc.txt" and "OrcAbilityStrings.txt". They contain these entries: (respectively)


// Feral Spirit
// Modded to Rock Golems
[AOsf]
Art=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNRockGolem.blp
Researchart=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNRockGolem.blp
Buttonpos=1,2

and...

The problem is that these entries are completely ignored!

No. It's happened to me again, and I think i know why: changing world editors between UMSWE & WEEB & editing the map with both. Anyone know how to change unit models to custom ones (strings) using UMSWE ?
