BaseMod.tbl Updated to work as CustomString1.tbl
=================================================

BaseMod.tbl:	30000	7530h


With BaseMod.tbl, you can localize BaseMod strings for other languages. [StringTable]
is now updated to use the same Unicode functions in Diablo II for string display.


In v1.13.6 you can use this table to store your own custom strings for display in the game.
In this version there are 50 strings reserved for BaseMod use, but you can 
add your own after that. 

BaseMod.tbl stores and indexes game strings from 30050 to 39999 (7562h - 9C3Fh).
When using AFJtbl Edit, BaseMod string indexes are the same as CustomString1.tbl.

If you don't want a particular string to display, make the string blank. But don't delete 
the string key place holder, the reserved strings are hard coded to an index number.
The first 17 strings can be blanked out, if you don't want a particular string to display.

The Installed Game language is automatically detected on game start, and you don't 
need to force change language for this to work, unless your using a language 
pack and installed the game in a different language.

BaseMod will look for YourModName.tbl, if you rename BaseMod.dll to YourModName.dll 
(and you also change the loader string in Game.exe to match that).

You can make copies of BaseMod.tbl and place them inside your mpq to the 
locations where patchstring.tbl would be found.  You'd need to translate 
each of the table strings to the target languages that you want to support.

The String Table file isn't read until the game starts, so it doesn't matter if the 
table goes in a custom mpq provided by BaseMod, or Patch_D2.mpq
