so... can i use it to change anything?  how do i use it? it never came with a readme...

im assuming you have to keep width and line count the same to prevent errors and crashing?

as in squire is wider than dude

little help? trying to make my patch complete. seeing "Shieldbreak" every time he uses this skill gets old lol...

like... what are the limitations to changing text without breaking the game and causing it to crash?

my plan is to change some of the fear skills

"darkness" and "nightmare" to some death knight swordskills im making.

It is a very powerful tool, you can make things quite a bit longer for the most part with the main limitation being the physical space on the screen. You really just need to poke around and experiment. The quick edit options (or something like that) at the bottom of the location list is usually a good starting place for getting to some of the more common stuff.
