patchstring.tbl problems

Post by sonic » Sat Sep 21, 2013 5:30 pm

i have made a new monster in act 1 blood moor
added new in patchstring.tbl (data\local\lng\eng\patchstring.tbl) everything fine in game as it should be.
then i added patchstring.tbl to patch_D2.mpq launched it and took a look at the monster and his name "an evil force"
have i missed something?

i am using patchstring.tbl from patch_d2.mpq (and it works fine with -direct -txt)
its a new monster i have created.
added lines to monstats.txt monstats2.txt levels.txt treasureclass.txt
made cof lines placed in animdata made new token and everything works as it should its just the name,
i don't know what i have done wrong.
patch 1.13c

second problem i had with an item that i have created when i drop it on the floor in game and press the "show items" button i get the following error sometimes

the same or another error has been triggered before in the same way (100% success rate) after i have reduced the text (description of item with 2 different colors, 3 lines)in the patchstring.tbl file the problem seemed to be fixed but now i got the error sometimes.
is there a limit of letters/numbers/symbols that 1 item can have? if yes whats the limit?
does the color code below count as 4 letters/numbers/symbols or 1?
