Classic str messages

I have locally changed the following in eqinstalldirectory\eqstr_us.txt:

Code:

12 108 You cannot see your target. -> 12 108 You can't see your target from here. 

48 144 You must target a player to bandage. -> 48 144 You cannot bandage a non-player entity. 

195 291 I will not buy TEMPORARY or NO TRADE items -> 195 291 I will not buy NO RENT or NO DROP items 

275 371 You cannot loot this Lore Item.  You already have one. -> 275 371 You cannot loot this Lore Item you already have one. 

443 539 Returning to %1, please wait... -> 443 539 Returning to home point, please wait... 

530 1023 %1 scores a critical hit! (%2) -> 530 1023 %1 Scores a critical hit!(%2) 

621 1145 Hello there, %3. How about a nice %4? -> 621 1145 Hello there %3, how about a nice %4? 

622 1146 Greetings, %3. You look like you could use a %4. -> 622 1146 Greetings %3. You look like you could use a %4. 

624 1148 Welcome to my shop, %3. You would probably find a %4 handy. -> 624 1148 Welcome to my shop %3, you would probably find a %4 handy. 

1183 2072 Are you sure you wish to loot this NO TRADE item? -> 1183 2072 Are you sure you wish to loot this NO DROP item? 

1391 2280 The Ruins of Old Paineel -> 1391 2280 The Hole 

1670 3099 NO TRADE -> 1670 3099 NO DROP 

1671 3100 TEMPORARY -> 1671 3100 NO RENT 

1918 3375 Inventory full, and item is NO TRADE, so cannot auto-inventory the item. -> 1918 3375 Inventory full, and item is NO DROP, so cannot auto-inventory the item. 

2656 5848 Haste: %1% -> 2656 5848 Effect: Haste 

3511 8053 You have fashioned the items together to create something new!

4581 12370 Auto attack is on. -> 4581 12370 Auto attack on. 

4582 12371 Auto attack is off. -> 4582 12371 Auto attack off. 

4902 12691 You can't intimidate yourself! -> 4902 12691 Try intimidating someone other than yourself.

Anyone know of similar changes needed for the classic era?

We will distribute new str files so these cases can be fixed for everyone.

Rygar has a long list here, Nilbog, if you haven't fixed them yet.

what happens if we just revert the change in our own eqstr_us.txt file? Is there a check sum or some other way of enforcing the offical p99 version of this file?

I would imagine diffing the original eqstr_us.txt off the original EverQuest CD against the current one would be instructive too. I'm sure there is an iso floating around somewhere..

Such a file does not seem to exist in the trilogy folder that I just installed on my PC (off the 2001 trilogy disks) earlier today. At least I don't see it. Compared to the Titanium installation it's much different, with no separate folders for any of the various assets or resources. Some of the files are familiar like the .s3d files for zones.

Strangely there is a readme file detailing some february '99 late beta bug fixes. Why that was left in more than two years later, I cannot say.

Oh that's strange. Maybe before Luclin they were just compiled into the .exe? That would be a pain.

Wasn't "NO DROP" actually spelled "NODROP" back then?

Thanks, I updated the OP to reflect more changes. Some of those will require additional code work instead of a simple str edit.
