I'm creating a simple mod, and I have made it possible to socket gloves, belts and boots. Currently I am trying to edit the TBL files to reflect those changes. I have gone through all 3 TBL files ( string, patchstring & expansionstring ). I have found a few entries that pertain to gems, but none of the changes I make appear to take effect.

It is hard to find the right place. But go to patchstring.tbl, scroll to the near the end. You will see a lot of entries where the key is a lower case 'x'. Look for two keys with an upper case 'X' next to each other. The first key has string "Terms of Service" and you are in the right place.Go to the >second< lower case 'x' past the two upper case 'X' keys. That one currently reads "Helms:" The next three lines are "Shields:", "Weapons:" and "Armor:" Those are the headings for the hover text on gems and runes! But whatever you do, DO NOT change the keys, even though they look like all the others. Some of the strings are keyed to a hash table, and I think that is what the 'x' keys represent.

Are you observing these changes through gems that you have in your current inventory, or by spawning new ones though drops or the cube? You will not see the changes to items in your current inventory, you have to spawn new ones to see the changes that you made  ------------------ "To dream a life, or to live a dream ... only through desire shall the sleeper awaken."

Thanks! I will try that now!And yes, to be sure, I was spawning new gems. Especially after discovering when making skill changes I had to create a new character for those changes to take effect.
