It involves hacking at client files (eqstr_us) which is when you have to cross the line and decide whether you want to be a public eqemulator.net server or a private project.

Is it really illegal? Cause I hope my explanation wasnt againt the rules lol.

Sorry.

I would not call editing .txt files "hacking"

ANd whats important editing "eqstr_us" does absolutly NOTHING to help alter the name of the zone in the middle of the screen. That is in the .exe file which needs to be hacked.

Editing eqstr_us.txt is no diffirent that chaging your spell file, since regadless of what you put into eqstr_us file it will not impact the gameplay/server/other players in anyway

Actualy I am going to test this right now- change name of the zone in eqstr_us and see if it affect what I see in game if it does- dang that opens whole new area of opportunities... On other hand I have firm belive it won't =)

Ofcourse it works. And yeah, obviously, its client side only =P

I think that zones' short names are in the exe, like, when you do / all felwithea, for example.
