Editing reputation names in BG/BG2?

I'm wondering what file contains the reputation names that show up in your character record, e.g. "Disliked," etc. I'd really like to do a simple edit of this and just change the names.

I can see these values in random locations in dialog.tlk, but is there an easy way to change them? In the past, I've tried editing dialog.tlk with Notepad++, and any change in the number of characters on a given line causes all text to shift throughout the game, messing everything up badly.

There has to be a way to do this...

    don't know what n/t means but

    there is actually;

    first you need to find the .2da file named; REPTXT.2da

    there you will notice all the values of 1-20 and under the "value" column that is the dialogue.tlk string reference for what that value will be called

    so what you need to do is edit some custom string references in the dialogue.tlk file then adjust the reptxt file accordingly to match those references and then viola, should be good to go
