Lucubration Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) If any other mod authors have noticed issues with setting item descriptions (and sometimes name) using TESsnip, I think I've cracked this one. It seems that sometimes TESsnip doesn't recognize a string-valued record properly for whatever reason. You can tell when this happens because when go to edit the value, it shows you a hex editor rather than a simple textbox for string input. Strings in the .esp appear to be null-terminated, so when you're setting the string value, make sure to go to the very end after your last character, in the hex value fields, and add a "00" null byte by typing a single zero in there. It will appear to add an extra period in the string display on the right side, but that seems to be what's displayed for any null values over there. Make sure you do this for any strings that you enter. Today I even ran into an item FULL field that I had to give this treatment to in addition to the DESC field, or it tried to display all of the subrecords in the item record after name in the name in-game. Anyone else who's run into this, give it a shot and let me know if it's working in general. Edited November 29, 2011 by Lucubration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
