StringTable Best Practice

[Kyberus]

Hi, 

I was recently trying to edit the stringtables to add some basic class abilities, and realized that these seem to be indexed to the game by number (in the associated specific stringtable). As such, how is one intended to add new entries to the proper stringtable, in particular without accidentally generating possible collisions with other mods?

It's always good to document what strings you use or modify ; that way other mod authors can work to make their mods more compatible. 

This is some more general info.

generate a string number starting point by taking your username and creating a random number from that somehow, or just create a huge random number with 9+ digits.
