I can rename runes in patchstring.tbl, but when I socket them they stay what they were. I can make a rune show up as Ish in the inventory and on the ground, but when I socket it it reverts back to Shael.I have looked in all tbl files... nothing. I have tried renaming them in misc.txt... nothing. There are many mods that have renamed the runes, but I cannot figure out how they did it, and am stuck. What am I supposed to do? And why do I sound like a newbie...? Thanks for your time.

In expansionstring.tbl, there is a list of all the runes and i'm guessing that you chnaged them.Thats a good start, but there is also another list (directly underneath it if i remember correctly) which i believe controls what they say when socketed. Try it out.------------------ Don't yell at me so much!! Pobodys Nerfect!

A thought, but probably not the solution. In gems.txt there is a column (2nd one I believe) that is labeled "Letter". Only Runes have anything entered here. If you have tried matching up everything in the various string files and nothing changes why not try changing the values in the letter column? Can't hurt too much.  ------------------ - Greymalkin

Unfortunately, I did perform a search on Shael in patchstring.tbl and it turned up empty. It cannot be in expansionstring.tbl because Shael was Shae back then.*sigh* [This message has been edited by Myokai (edited 23 November 2001).]

I renamed several runes in my game...I'll do some beta alpha testing to see if mine work at all. It will be a while before I can reply though... Need to find the runes.. never mind.. I'll make the buyable. Then test them out. Let you know what happens

Mine worked fine.Just make sure to change Rxx and RxxL in the patchstring.tbl. also if you change Io or Jah you need to put it in patchstring.tbl I haven't tried Rune Words though. Just bought my "In" rune which used to "Io". Worked fine for me.

umm, your problem lies here. its not a string you're looking for, its the letter value

But did you change their names when socketed?

I don't know. it could be.I changed the letter column. (So that I would know what the rune actually was in my game) but not the name column. I also changed the String.tbl info as well. I'll test the theory real quick.

It doesn'tI tested it myself. It only changes the name of a socketed rune if "Letter" column is filled out in gems.txt
