Custom spell problem

[Astaldoath]

Ive tried to make a custom slow spell but it says You feel bogus as an unknown spell accosts you. The effect still works, no icon appears though either. Anyone know why this happens?

have you added this spell to both server and client spell_us.txt files?

No, they didn't work perfect. Unforunately the client can't magically know the info for the spells and needs to read it from it's own spells_us file.

I've been trying to configure a couple of custom spells now, been using a spell editor, can someone explain exactly what is needed as I'm at the point where I've managed to update the spells_us.txt file with a new customer haste spell, made sure the spells_us.txt file is on both server and client machines but its not showing in the spell list if I do a #spfind when logged in... is there something else I'm meant to be updating for the spell to appear and be castable?

never mind, found a glitch on one of the spells that was preventing it from loading the remainder in spells_us.txt!
