Was making some poison on my rogue tonight, after Chardok patch, and I get this message.

ERROR: String not found. (8053)

FIX for this Error Message:

1. Open the file eqstr_us.txt with a text editor
2. Insert the line for 8053 at the proper position.
   

   8034 Usable
   8053 You have created something new.

3. Save the file
4. Restart your EQ client

This may be common knowledge, but don't use notepad to edit. It'll make it so the game can't read the file (and every string will turn into Error: String not found).

I used wordpad, but you can also use notepad++.

Yes thank you. I did use notepad and messed every thing. I fixed it by saving as .txt in ansi. Had a few tense moments there. Thanks though because I no longer have the 8053 error. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey, thanks for the tip! I might try this at some point when I have the time. It's not a huge deal and I've been getting tons of skill ups while getting this error message, but it would be cool to have it say "You've created something new!" again.

my aplogies for not mentioning the editor problem in my first post - being on Linux this never occurred to me as a potential problem..
