I was wondering if anyone knew what is needed to edit the strings.tdb file.

Level edit is my play ground

Some Adobe program (forgot the name) or Commando Level Edit, or another program that can open .tdb file extensions.

The only way to edit strings.tdb is to use leveledit and the built-in strings.tdb editor.

Thats not to say that some smart programmer couldnt build a stand-alone strings.tdb editor (the format itself is quite simple)

why would you want a program for that anyway, if you can use LE for it

Moding can be real Fun...

I tryed to import the strings file but it won't load it and won't even load for that file type. What do I need to do to load it properly?

Strings > Edit Table

Look for that at the top of LE, it enables you to edit the whole table.

I saw that and was able to change the table but how do get what I changed to save to a strings.tdb? (I tryed just saving as strings.tdb and it crashed my levedit.)

Because said program beats the shit out of the LE internal strings editor.

S.K., would editing the strings file in any way allow for the specialized radio commands or is there any other way to have the commands without having to use an objects file?

Nope. You can't edit to change radio commands manually, you have to go through the objects.ddb file.
