When you pick up an item it gives you a description of the item and all that. but when you make an item with the editor there is no description, it says 'No description available'. And yes, i would like to add my own description but i'm not sure how. I'm pretty sure that its from the speech file but i'm not sure.
If you could fill in the blanks it would be apreciated.
 
This is from one of my tutorials:

Names & Descriptions - OTB

Enter the entity's name under "Display Name". Then you will have to make identical entries in the characters.txt file prefaced by "name_" and "desc_" for the name and story for the character (or name and description for an item, although that goes in the items.txt file).

For instance, enter "rec_hm01" in that field for a recruit, then enter the following in the characters.txt:

name_rec_hm01 = {Max}
desc_rec_hm01 = {Max wanted to be a scribe and spent his formative years training to maintain vacuum tubes and read punch cards. Then, later he discovered his lifelong love of explosions, and added traps to his repertoire.}

Whatever you enter in "Custom Name" overrides the "Display Name" field.

RE: Tactics Editor Help (another question)

When i put the goo on my map it moves like it should in the editor, but when i play the map its all just still (no bubbles or anything). There is no other objects placed on top of it to cause a overlap or anything. So why does it do this???
