I don't even have runes.txt in my mod directory. I'm trying RalOrtTal in a shield but nothing happens.

If you have it working are you using -direct -txt?

I searched and it seems that it is a common problem. Has anyone really figured it out yet?

I found that it was my armor.txt that was causing the problem. I moved some stuff around and that might have caused the problem with runes.txt. Very sloppy programming.

I'll be remaking my armor.txt and testing it as I go along to see exactly what the problem was.

i guess what you did was simple, you changed the gem apply type column and it didnt recognize it as a shield

No, nothing like that. The entire mod was working except for the rune words. I'm still testing to see what it didn't like.

Just to check, in other mods, have there been problems with rune words working on added weapon and armor types?

I figured it all out. If you delete, insert between, or move any lines in armor.txt, weapons.txt, magicsuffix.txt, magicprefix.txt, misc.txt and possibly others like that, rune words won't work. Everything else will though giving the impression of a bug-free mod. Appending these files is OK and messing with treasureclassex.txt doesn't affect anything.

So my cleaned up files have to go back to being messy again. Sheesh, if I had made files like these in a data structures class, I would have failed. It's no wonder Blizzard doesn't release their source code. It would be too embarrassing!

Argh! I spent about an hour putting stuff back and I didn't have to. Thanks for letting me know it's okay to clean up the files.

I had put in my own descriptive blank rows like "elite", "unused" and stuff. I took those out and runewords work again. Weird.
