I am using MPQ2k to put:

HumanAbilityStrings.txt
HumanAbilityFunc.txt
AbilityData.slk

into my map. The problem is, when I go to play the map my new spell (based off of holy light) doesn't display any graphics, although the spell itself works. All I get is the "Tool Tip Missing" message. But this is the frustrating part...If I exit the map (without restarting warcraft) and then re-enter it....it works great!! Am I missing something here? I have read every tutorial and thread I could find on this subject, but I can't find the answer.

Can anyone help me out here?

Mythmon-

I have the same problem and have been screwing with that darn pre-load trigger for hours. Still doesn't work.

Here's what I'm using:

Initialization
Trigger: PreLoad TXT
Event: Map Initialization
Conditions: None
Action: Game - preload units\AbilityData.slk
Game - preload units\HumanAbilityFunc.txt
Game - preload units\HumanAbilityStrings.txt

I have messed around with that trigger...but nothing.

How EXACTLY should that trigger be set?

Oh. I do have another trigger that does some things at Map Initialization. Could that be the problem?

I dont think you are suppose to use two init triggers. But I am using ONE that looks identical to yours, same results.

Ya, well. I just tried it in one trigger this last time and that didn't work either.
