as i said i have been playing on the hidden forest custom server and i have no such problems there.

no i make a shortcut add patchme and move it else where if thats what you mean. i get in game just fine

c/programfiles/ez everquest

yes i am not even in game when i make the changes ... i just looked at that last line in spellfile us and it is as you say it should be.

yes i figured that was what i was doing wrong so i deleted the folder installed again then just used the sod spell file im still seeing unknown db string  when i look at the effects not the spell names those seem fine. so i deleted again and im reinstalling im not sure what to do next. since you just said that im out of ideas

i repeat i think im seeing the spells right its the effects (discription of the clicky spells on gear) that is showing up as unknown db string

everything else seems to be right

yes and ive applied them over and over ... i can now see the spells just the spell effects on everything i look at says unknow db string

plz can someone say something

ive been trying to get the spell files right for a couple days now..... i think i got them where i see the right spells but when i try to see the effects mainly on epics and gear im wearing under the effects id says unknown dbstring blah blah blah is this normal ?
if not can someone please help tell me what im doing wrong.

im using a fresh UF install with all the missing files supposedly. im not having any trouble on the hidden forest server. ive tried to get help in game i geuss everyone is to busy or dont want to be bothered.
