Yep, you mean that it doesn't direct you to an attack art etc. and you have to write the file by yourself? Easy! There's a directory called UMSWE files in your war3 directory. It tells you all the files you need to know about the mpq files and stuff. Just find the one you need and Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V it to the Unit Stat line

I'm guessing you don't mean the abilities as in spells or hero spells - If that happens I don't know what to do - You're UMSWE must not be functioning properly

if you are getting strings for abilities, you're not using my editor, you have someone else's files overriding mine, uninstall them first.

well u have a modified file then that is not part of my editor, if you are tryign to make custom abilities, look carefully at what you have done

you are not using my editor then, casue mine has the files that would change those lines. They work fine for everyone else, so make sure you deleted the Units\ and UI\ dirs from your warcraft3 folder so nothing is overriding my files.

will i have to get rid of ums 1st, or just delet the files now

ums runs independant of other files, those override ums, so keep ums and delete the other files

alright i dleeted them, but havent tried editor yet, do we have to load ums each time we start editor

after you delete the other files, you have to double click the editor you want to use, EVERY TIME, also unless you change file associations (which i dont recomend) you cannot double click a map to open it. Well u can but it will be in standard WE not UMSWE.
