Hi there, so I’m trying to change the name and description of a weapon and a spell in ER. So far I’ve :

used Witchy to unpack item_dlc02 in the msg folder
changed the text and saved
repacked the file
However, anytime I boot my game up, I can’t get past the logo main screen without crashing. If I put the unedited files back, no crashes. What step am I possibly missing that is causing my game to crash (also changed the name in Smithbox)? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

just use smithbox text editor instead

#

no need for unpacking/repacking afaik

hard ore just use smithbox text editor instead

The nuance is that I’m playing Reforged and for some reason, their custom items aren’t showing up in the Text Editor. I’d much prefer to use Smithbox over

they really should be appearing if the project directory is correct

#

unless reforged does some very strange stuff with msg

Maybe I'm not looking in the right place in Text Editor? Because it's definitely there when I unpack the engus msg folder, but I for the life of me can't find anything using Text Editor. I'm In English-->US---> Item. Everything Under DLC 2 says, 'DLC dummy'

#

it may not be in dlc2 at all

#

what's an example of a ERR item

#

nvm

#

#

modded stuff in yellow

#

it looks like they moved all text to base for simplicity

#

the game doesn't care anyway

#

in fact base has the highest priority if IDs conflict

#

so it's recommended to add stuff there anyway

#

are you sure your project directory is set to the right folder

#

show project settings

#

it's not set to the main ERR folder so that i'm not editing my regbin every time (in case i mess something up). could that be why?

strong fulcrum are you sure your project directory is set to the right folder

strong fulcrum Apr 28, 2026, 6:53 PM

#

#

strong fulcrum Apr 28, 2026, 6:53 PM

#

cool

random pollen Apr 28, 2026, 6:53 PM

#

so now i can just edit stuff here rather than unpacking the files in msg, correct? in the text editor

strong fulcrum Apr 28, 2026, 6:54 PM

#

random pollen Apr 28, 2026, 6:54 PM
