Go to this URL and read the modding tutorials.http://www.planetdiablo.com/phrozenkeep/tutorials.htm If u wanna know what to do with the .txt files, read the tutorial on -direct -txt and also download the D2 Excel Editor for editing the .txt files. U can find the editor at the Tools of the Trade section. WARNING!!! Do NOT use any other .txt editor like Microsoft Excel. Excel can truncate certain parts of certain .txt files and cause D2 to crash when u try to enter a game. ------------------ Programs are imperfect because they are made by imperfect beings.

Actually, MS Excel is generally great for modding. Only two files get truncated that I know of...runes.txt and, well...I don't remember what the other one was. Either itemstatcost or itemratio, I think.Don't get me wrong, d2excel is a great little tool. But unless I'm modding runes.txt, MS Excel is my weapon of choice personally. Of course, if it wasn't already on my computer, I sure wouldn't go buy it when d2excel is free.  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

For my latest mod (for LoD/expansion), download Version 1.1 of Sanctuary in Chaos - Or for old stuff (for classic D2), visit my orignal mod site at www.planetdiablo.com/sanctuary

Yeap, itemstatcost.txt and runes.txt like to deal hell to D2 after using Microsoft Excel on them. For my purposes, I went ahead and reloaded Staroffice and used it instead since it also properly edits those files.------------------ Legend of the Eternal Warrior CD2/D2X project administrator

d2excel is nice but SLOW as hell when it comes to deleting rows since u have to delete each entry or if u plan to multiply a large amount of entrys at once. i found that there are many better spreadsheets then excel which can use these files w no problems if u want i can post a few of them here------------------ Nefarius' Secondary Mod Site Nefarius' Primary Mod Site ------------------ XyRAX v21.00 25% done ------------------ NëƒarIu§ ÖƒƒiçláL [V]oÞÞ¦hg §¡Nce D2C V1.02!!! quote: Gaze into the Oblivion within yourself and you shall become your greatest fears.
