Need help importing 'abilitydata.slk'

I have a 'locust' trigger for RoC, but it won't work on RoC without me importing something called 'abilitydata.slk' and unfortunately I wouldn't know where to get this 'abilitydata.slk' or how to import it. I know this is all possible because every RoC maze maker has it in their mazes. Can you help?

Copy
War3x.mpq\Units\AbilityData.slk
to
YourMap.w3m\Units\AbilityData.slk

Locust is a TFT-only ability. I see no reason why it should work for people who don't have TFT, but apparently it does. I have tried it on a clean install of RoC.

EDIT: You probably only need this one line:
Aloc:Aloc:Locust:1:0:0:0:unit:undead:0:1:0:0:0:_:0:0:0:0:0:-:-:-:-:-:-:-::-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-::-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-::-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-::1

(Extract Units\AbilityData.slk from war3.mpq or War3Patch.mpq, add the line, and import it to your map. Make sure the respective fields have the respective values. Blizz might have changed the slk format between expansions.)

Well, it is indeed a TFT only ability. I don't know if the ability works on RoC for people who don't have TFT, but I do know that there are several Locust Triggers that make Locust work on RoC for people who don't have TFT.
