I'd like to change some DIALOGUE_LINE/WORDSWAP string ID, is that possible?


(I know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it)

Only by hex editing the mod file I would assume.

You might be able to finagle a workaround to edit the SID by deleting all dialog paths leading to said line, which would disassociate it from the dialog and allow you to open the dialog line directly from the lines section of the FCS. But even if you did so, you cannot add the line to another dialog, so it would be pointless, as you had to remove all references to it to change it. And even if you revert the changes to try and bring the line back, it would be bringing it back based on the old SID not the new one.

The hexadecimal editor is an excellent solution, thank you!
As the IDS can be referenced in several places, we just need to be careful.

Here is a temporary modification to illustrate that your solution is effective (old IDS was 2684)
