Ya, I changed these to help me with my map...

Humanabilityfunc - To change Storm bolt and Devotion Aura
Humanabilitystrings - Change Storm and Aura Description

Orcabilityfunc - To change Critical Strike and Reincarnation
Orcabilitystrings - Change Crit Strike and Rein... Description

I did all that and change all the icons with the icons of upgrades...

Then I opened winMPQ, opened my map and loaded those files as followed...

Units\HumanAbilityFunc.txt
Units\HumanAbilityStrings.txt
Units\OrcAbilityFunc.txt
Units\OrcAbilityStrings.txt

Then when I tried my map none of that worked, then I checked the winMPQ and all the files ^ that I just put in there are gone...

Can someone help me?

I think you gotta put in all the races func and strings to get it to work...

Also -- winmpq sucks at adding files. I think it depends on what version you have, but it's never worked for me. Use mpq2k.

After you add your files, you cannot save it in the world editor or use the test map button. Doing so makes it erase the files you added.

You must also add all the different race's abilityfunction and abilitystring files. It won't implement the changes if there's an incomplete set of them.

Yes, that should work
