Chaos, mind sharing what file you edited exactly? I have attempted to make changes to the eqstr_us.txt file in the EQ folder, but it breaks the game.

ah thats cuase it contains crap load of inviseable chars like end of the line etc which programs like windows notepad ignore when they save the file which causes it to go out of aligment.
you need to use something like MS DOS shell editor or Notepad++ to preserve this file format

Notepad++ is a tool no developer should be without!

Just downloaded it, thanks. Didn't know it existed, but I'm no developer.

Chaos, do I take it, then, that the file I referenced is the file I need to work with to make the class-name and deity-name changes you specified?

eqstr_us.txt?

eqstr_en.txt?

eqtext.txt?

Some other file?

a class may have MANY text references which may be spread across more than one file - for example class name which appears inside your inventory screen may be in one file, but class name which appears when you do /who may be in another

when I did it- I changed ALL references I found and didn't realy tracked which were truly important =)
