Ok, made some race, but have problem with corrupt every time i want to change name.
Can some1 remind me what was the algorithm to do that ? :)
Thanks

For the next time:
The race file becomes corrupt when the new name has more or less spells (letters/characters) than the old name. 1 character more or less is fine.
So there are 2 workarounds:
a) doing the race file anew from scratch
b) adding or subtracting only 1 letter/character, save, exit, open, change another...

Examples:
old: Wanderer (8 letters)
new: Ogerolfe (8 letters)
No problem should occur because both names have the same number of spells.

old: Waderer (7 letters with typo)
new: Wanderer (8 letters)
No problem should occur because the number of letters differs only by 1.

old: Wanderer (8 letters)
new: Urug (4 letters)
Race file probably corrupt.

Changing race name in steps (change, save, exit, open, change...)
old: Wanderer (8 letters)
new: Urugere (7 letters)
new: Uruger (6 letters)
new: Uruge (5 letters)
new: Urug (4 letters)
Should work.
