for god's sake don't delete stuff from your override without knowing exactly what you're doing.
familiars are a pain in the butt to mess with. there are three groups according to generic alignment: the dragons, the imps, and the normal creatures. each has its own dialog set, and within that are the specific alignment options so it knows what item to put in your inventory, which consequently determines what pops out when you release it.
use SK to look at your global variables and find one that starts with "fam" (famrab, famfair, etc). toggle it (if it's 1, make it 0. 0>1). then try casting find familiar.
