mm.. doin that will lose all your model selections and other stuff, so i wouldnt recommend it.
There isnt a specific command for resetting the item names atm (ill put one on the to-do list). Easiest method for now would be to open up the namesfile.txt in notepad or something and just delete all the lines referring to item=

so exactly where are the ITEMS stored cause it aint in this file


Edit I actually renamed this file so it couldnt be found by Buiding Editor
and the reloaded and all items are still there so there is no way this file
is the holder of items names

the fact the editor asks for different file name its NameFiles.txt not NamesFile.txt
actually makes sense why tis is so but what doesnt make sense is there is no file called
NameFiles.txt

Yours doesn't contain any item names. However, it IS in the NamesFile.
Part of my namesfile: (the whole doesn't fit)

ITEMNAME,32=Metal Ore <------------
ITEMNAME,112=Steel <----------
ITEMNAME,25=Paint <----------
ITEMNAME,23=Magic <----------
ITEMNAME,24=Gold <------------

Those last ones are the item names.

the recommended way of changing an item name is to use

Code: Select all

 *changeitemname {oldname},{newname}

from within the game, it just has less chance of getting any kind of windows formatting attached to the file that way which is bound to break it
