hey need some info..how do i rename a item...<--not a noob

afaik the items in the bdat do not change but you can edit the items.txt file to make the items in the game appear differently, however the overall usage of the item has to remain the same i.e food will always be food regardless of what it is called...

anyway if im wrong someone will correct me

yeh i also noticed this the other day, but i guessed it would just show up in game.

i spose this is easier as you never forget the actual item and then it matches in the 'size of the item' on the other list right? meh, that doesn't make sense, except to me

just remember to jot down what is becomeing what.
or great confusion will come your way

oh, and make a backup of the items list file. so that in the future when you reset the island and (possibly) make a new bdat for it, you wont confuse yourself even more unchanging the changes

if you forget, just delete your itemnames.txt and restart the server.

it'll create a new blank one with all the items.
