I have locally changed the following in eqinstalldirectory\eqstr_us.txt:

48 144 You must target a player to bandage. -> 48 144 You cannot bandage a non-player entity.

Anyone know of similar changes needed for the classic era?

We will distribute new str files so these cases can be fixed for everyone.

Rygar has a long list here, Nilbog, if you haven't fixed them yet.

what happens if we just revert the change in our own eqstr_us.txt file? Is there a check sum or some other way of enforcing the offical p99 version of this file?

[Dolalin]

I would imagine diffing the original eqstr_us.txt off the original EverQuest CD against the current one would be instructive too. I'm sure there is an iso floating around somewhere..

Such a file does not seem to exist in the trilogy folder that I just installed on my PC (off the 2001 trilogy disks) earlier today. At least I don't see it. Compared to the Titanium installation it's much different, with no separate folders for any of the various assets or resources. Some of the files are familiar like the .s3d files for zones.

Strangely there is a readme file detailing some february '99 late beta bug fixes. Why that was left in more than two years later, I cannot say.

Oh that's strange. Maybe before Luclin they were just compiled into the .exe? That would be a pain.

Wasn't "NO DROP" actually spelled "NODROP" back then?

Thanks, I updated the OP to reflect more changes. Some of those will require additional code work instead of a simple str edit.
