I'm trying to config Adom so that the string 'uncursed' is changed into 'ok'.

For example, 'uncursed eternium broadsword of penetration' would be changed into 'ok eternium broadsword of penetration'.

I went into adom.cfg and added the line

Uncursed_String = ok

but it had no effect. I went into my game and used := to change it. That worked fine but it only affects that specific game. I wanted to change the enviroment variable through adom.cfg. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

hmm... is there a # atthe beginning of the line you wrote? If yes, take it out, can't think anything else..

You could edit adom.exe... but make a saved copy first, or else you'll mess up your game.

No, no # at the beginning. I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. :(

I'm sure trying to figure this out would be easier then editing adom.exe. That's why I decided to ask here on this board. Somebody here has to know.

Here's what I have in my own cfg file...

Uncursed_String = normal

So Iridia, in your game does it say 'normal eternium broadsword of penetration'? The reason I wanted to change it was because 'uncursed' is too long a word. I can tell at a glance by the color so that word is unnecessary. It messes up the screen when I have a item with a long name.

BTW, is there anyway to change 'blessed' and 'cursed' to just 'b' and 'c'?

Yes, it says "Normal", though the "eternium broadsword of penetration" bit is up to the RNG. :)

No, there's no way to change "blessed" and "cursed".

Well, after some fiddling, I decided to just using := in every game. I can't figure it out. I thought I was missing quotations or something but it's not suppose to have any. I guess I'll just have to type everytime I start a new game.

About changing 'blessed' and 'cursed', maybe I'll send a email to Thomas Biskup about it. Seems like it would be a good idea.

EDIT: I found me a broadsword of penetration once but it was FICKLE. Just my freaking luck. >:(
