Whenever I edit the game text (e.g. "Pointmatch," "Rambomatch Started!" etc.) even if I use the same amount of characters to replace what I want to change it totally screws up all the text and puts different text in inappropriate places. What am I doing wrong?...

I know, happened to me. I tried to edit it so my flamethrower says flamebug.wpn decoded, it screws up... i know ivan did it he replaced bulletproof vest with titanium armour... how?

With some ppl the .txt format screwes up for soldat when saving with some text editors.

EDIT should work i think : Start --> run --> "cmd" --> "edit"
(note : you have to edit a working txt file cause it can't unfix the format)
