Forum :: Client Editing :: Change name of items on the main server client side?

I've seen this done on Deathpatch, and I'm wondering how to do so.

since it can be done with in the pub files of eoserv/seose why dont u try editing the pub files within your client ?

Because I don't own the main server.

The way it used to be done is by renaming an item with a longer or equal length name as what you want. Say you have a "Peasant Suit" and you want to name is "Devil Costume", you couldn't do it, because it would cut off at "Devil Costum". But, if you wanted to name your peasant suit, say, aTuxido, because Tuxido is shorter, it would work, however, since Peasant Suit has 12 characters in it (including spaces), and Tuxido only has 6, you would need to add 6 spaces after Tuxido. So it would appear as "Tuxido      ". The total length of the name including spaces must be equal to that of the old item name, including spaces. That's how it was done back before Pubedit existed, whenyou had to do it in Notepad. I don't know if the same rules apply with Pubedit, however.

How do I open in Notepad then?

Right click the file, select Open With.. or, if that doesn't appear, just use Open, and it will list programs to open it with, and from there select Notepad.

all you have to do is find a pub edit open the file for items and change the name its not hard

One of the properties in any of the files is 'namesize'. If you have access to a byte value editor (I used Edit Pad Pro), then you can change the value of that byte to the size of the name of the item (plus one). 

For example, in the NPC file, Crow has a byte 5 before it, indicating that it is 4 characters. Mummy has a byte 6 before it, indicating that it is 5 characters for the name. Note that it is not the actual number 5, but the byte value of the character in the file is a 5.
