I made a thread a while ago asking help with editing localization files. Turns out, the program I was using (EditPad) changed something else in the file that I cannot control.

I tried it with notepad, and it works fine now.

Keep that in mind if you have the misfortune to land in the same situation.

L OH fucking L, I just used editpad pro on this shit today, at it significantly altered the size of the files (they became smaller discarding some info apparently). Editpad Pro has been my baby for editing shit for like 5 years now, and it has NEVER screwed up, not once, whereas notepad and wordpad have notorious problems.

Anyways, my BF2 stopped working and I had to fix it with notepad via copy and paste, and it worked fine. Editpad pro let me down once in a million times But you gotta love Editpad's regex's they rock!

Yup. I love editpad, and this is the only time it's screwed up. I'm going to go email the development team for EPP and see if they can find what's wrong/why it doesn't work with EPP.

HTML with notepad is freakin awesome. And you dont have to pay for a program that comes free with the OS And I find it is the best way to learn the coding.
