If you're talking character classes, I doubt patchstring.tbl has any keys you are looking for. Expansionstring.tbl in d2exp.mpq will have the LoD classes certainly, and perhaps the other five classes as well. Then look in string.tbl in d2data.mpq for the rest.There are probably quite a few strings for each class.

Yeah, that makes sense (too used to patchstring I guess ), thanks again.------------------ The great secret, is not having bad manners or good manners...but having the same manner for all human souls.

Although there are a few things in patchstring.tbl that repeat stuff in other .tbl files...but patchstring overrides the others...so if you make a change in string or expansionstring that you know should work but isn't showing up...you might need to look for and change the same entry in patchstring.Just a little advice from someone who's been there a few times already...painfully.  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer." For my latest mod (for LoD/expansion), download Version 1.1 of Sanctuary in Chaos - Or for old stuff (for classic D2), visit my orignal mod site at www.planetdiablo.com/sanctuary

Okay, renamed all 5 classic classes in string.tbl and patchstring.tbl, and it worked. Renamed Assassin/Druid in expansionstring.tbl and patchstring.tbl, copied *string.tbl files to data\local\LNG\ENG, only the changes made in patchstring worked.

Go to tools of the trade. There are the programs you need to view and edit a .tbl file.I believe you need Baron Darkstorms Table editor. Good luck. ------------------ No, I am not drunk, I am sotally tober. Another beer Mr. Ossifer? [This message has been edited by Applebuddy (edited 04 February 2002).]

Yes I did insert patchstring, and it works. I also inserted expansionstring and it doesn't.------------------ "The great secret, is not having bad manners or good manners...but having the same manner for all human souls." - George Bernard Shaw

So, what did you change your classess into? New names perhaps for the items? Or the character themselves?Just curious. With your reply I would learn too. Thanks.

My mod is based on Robert Jordan's Wheel Of Time series, So respectively each of the classes takes on the a group from the book. ex: Sorceress = Aes Sedai Druid = Wolfbrother Paladin = Warder Necromancer = Asha Sedai (it was a stretch for that one but it's based on the name Rand gives to the members of the Black Tower, but not the same because it doesn't happen at the same time.) etc.
