EDIT: this is probably the wrong forum now that i think about it

can change the items names without going in-game by just typing the command into the server's chat counsle.

if the server isen't running, you could just edit the namesfile.txt in the servers data folder. however, you will need to know the item numbers to do this. they can be found at http://www.tuwr.net/pmwiki.php?n=Lists.Items
the list lists the default items and thier number. so it can be used as a refrence when changing stuff that isen't already changed and to see what something was before you changed it in case you want to change it again.

whats the command used?
i think it was *changeitemname itemname disireditemname
and will that show up on the building editor? as in i want a item called magical essence
(for a medeval world) and i want the item spawn thing to make magic... can you explain if it will work?

[samthetrue]

ohh what is a good free program to create building shapes and colors?
