Converting a unit from TAUIP to TA: S

I've been having alot of trouble getting this mod to work. I even enlisted the help of Supernoob, but he couldn't do it either. Basically, i'm trying to convert the Flying ray from Total Annihilation Units independency pack to TA: Spring. However, the unit doesn't show up in the build list. If you want to help me fix it, i'll pm you a .rar of what i currently have. (The file format is .ufo, but there are TA:S mods in that format.) The unit should be produced by the Core's level two airbase, and should be amphibious. There is a line in there saying it is a transport. It is NOT supposed to be a transport. There are 3 files and 7 folders. The folders contain what i have modified. The other 3 files are the original .ufo file, a notification and the file i was using as a base to modify it. I have had no previous experience with modding. Thanks in advance.

Did you add it to the build tree in the sidedata.tdf? Does the unit show up if you use .give (needs .cheat to be enabled) to spawn it?

What is this sidedata.tdf? This is an old mod from TAUIP, i don't think it's got all the necessary stuff to work.

<sd7 root>\gamedata\sidedata.tdf
It specifies the build lists for every builder and factory in the mod.

The wiki doesn't bite, you might as well consult it.
