Hey guys,

I tend to ramble so I'll try and keep it to the point... It's been years since I've done much with the good ol' WE and recently I found and dusted off an old project and I've been trying relearn how to make some custom spells, I've followed a couple tuts to try and get the rust off some of my gears but I keep running into a problem no matter what I do.

The Problem;
Every time after I've edited AbilityData.slk and the AbilityFunc/String.txts and their in the separate Units folder with my WE, my entire ability list in the editor disappears. I can't assign a unit/hero an ability; however if I change the name of an existing spell such as Holy Light, the Paladins default ability list shows this change.
Why does my in editor ability list disappear?

Also, whether I've moved the slk and txts or not I cannot get a custom spell to appear in the WE either, but again I can customize current spells no problem.

I greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can offer; I also apologize if this practice is too outdated, like I said I haven't done this in years.

Again, thanks in advance!
