Just added 2 new strings to expansionstring.tbl. This apparently screwed something up - everything is now shown in brackets or as An Evil Force. Tbl file corrupted or something. Some eight hundred affixes and lots of skill names and descriptions down the drain.Anyway, what can cause this? All I did was add two affixes to the end of the file, being 'cabalist_boss_SoS', xlation 'Son of Sin', and 'unraveler_boss_Horus', xlation 'Horus the Almighty'. Am I not allowed to use underscores? Were the entries too long? Or was it the program? I don't look forward to this happening again, but I'm completely puzzled about the cause. ------------------ To practice the Arts of Modding is to be Damned.

String.tbl is a very long file, almost twice the number of keys than expansionstring.tbl. And I have seen both longer keys and keys with one underscore. Maybe two underscores in the same key are one too many.[Edit typo] [This message has been edited by Myhrginoc (edited 19 February 2002).]

This is old hat, and has been discussed NUMEROUS times on the forums...For me (Before the rest of you get into a lather).... I only modify string.tbl. I have had no problems with it, even when tagging/labeling new items, item types, etc... String.tbl is by far the most stable and it causes the fewest headaches. I have added 200 items/comments to my mod(s) and have yet to run up against a limit in the string.tbl. Food for thought. ------------------ Good, Bad, Ive got the gun. Darkness Weaves

For my cases, I modify string.tbl and expansionstring.tbl for D2X mods and then put all of my modifications into the german (and other) patchstring.tbl for international players.------------------ Every day is Valentine's Day for the Skaarj, soldier!
