Error: string not found 8053

[MRBROWN864]

Everytime i use a tradeskill I get this and skillups are going slowly so my question is are the tradeskills broken after the patch?

[Cilraaz]

Just the success message. Skill ups and other tradeskill functions work fine.

FIX for the "String not found" Error Message:

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

8034 Usable
8053 You have created something new.
8500 Request Adventure
Save the file
Restart your EQ client

I tried fixing the eqstr_us.txt file with 8053 in the right place, and now after restarting the client, every button besides melee now says error string not found, as does every message in the window.
upon reverting, same thing. broken client. hitting any error string not found button in the hotbar = client crash.

That sounds like you might have changed the file in a way the client wasn't expecting. What program did you use to change it?

If you use Notepad to edit the file, it makes it unreadable by the client

You can use something like wordpad or notepad++ and it will work
