i post tutorial on how to addmodify descriptions
first you need to open a dos shell eg ms dos prompt
secondly you need to create a new folder copy the texts.res file into it and also resbuild.exe
create a folder within the new folder to called descriptions
now chenge to that directory eg
cdwindowsdesktoptutorialdescriptions
once here you need to type the following command
..resbuild.exe e ..texts.res *
now all the description files will be extracted into the descriptions file you can use note pad to edit the current ones
now if u have created armour called pig armour ad added it to the bottom of the armour.txt file in the mod tools then here is what you must do to give it a description
go into your new descriptions folder go to view folder options and select show extensions of known file types
now create a new txt file in the descriptions file and you will need to name it woteva your new armour itme or woteva is called followed by the material eg
Armour Pig_adamantium
make sure you give the file no extension
after this you can edit it using notepad
the 1st line should be the items name eg pig armour then press enter to go to second line and here write the description
once this is done you will need to tell the texts.res file its been updated do this by typing this command in the dos shell
..resbuild.exe a ..texts.res *
it will tell you that it has found new files and adding descriptions
then all you need to do is copy the texts.res file back into you res folder
