I am trying to change some string values in patchstring.tbl, but it can't handle some Swedish characters (å,ä,ö). How do I know what to write instead of å, ä and ö?And another question: I renamed "Moo Moo Farm" and got it all working, except for the "Entering The Moo Moo Farm". I tried inserting a new string, but I couldn't get it working. Does anybody know how to change the "Entering..."? // dectgap http://www.diabloii.nu

The entering graphics for everything is a graphics file NOT a string. You'll have to edit the graphics file in d2data.  ------------------ Keeper of the ShadowHaven and QFG mod assistant developer.

Thanks for the reply.I found the "Entering The Moo Moo Farm" graphics (A1L40.dc6), and I that I can replace it with just about any image file, but is there an easy way to find and use the font that is used it all those "Entering"-images?

You would have to look through a lot of custom font files to find what happened to the characters you want. Look in d2data.mpq, d2exp.mpq and patch_D2.mpq, in data\local\font\latin.As for those "Entering..." messages, you could find a font and type it out...in a graphics program. You still need to make a picture of each message you want to change, then convert it to dc6 and insert all into the mpq. That is why some modders just blank out the "Entering..." message and let you use the upper right legend to locate yourself. [This message has been edited by Myhrginoc (edited 15 February 2002).]
