himy objective is to change the titlescreen(which I assume is the screen at which you choose single/multi player etc.)
the problem that I come across is when I do the neccessary steps to change what that image is, that change doesnt occur.
If someone could please let me know if I am doing something wrong, or am forgetting to do something, or anything else I would appreciate any insight.
This is exactly what I am doing in order to change the titlescreen:
in a temporary directory the contents are:
- MPQview.exe
- MPQ2k.exe
- StarEdit.exe
- storm.dll
- lmpqapi.dll
- patch_d2.mpq (unmodded file from original cd)
- titlescreen.dc6 (new 800x600 pure black image)
Now, in dos, in that temp directory I use this command:
"mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq titlescreen.dc6 data\global\ui\frontend\titlescreen.dc6?"
to which it replies:
"Adding data\global\ui\frontend\titlescreen.dc6... Done"
I then copy the temp dir's patch_d2.mpq(which is a larger size) to my main diablo directory, run the game, and nothing has changed.
I wonder if I should be replacing the titlescreen.dc6 instead of adding a new one, but the mpq2k usage information describes "adding" and "replacing" a file both use the "a" command.
The only thing I can think of is that there is something else that I need to edit to enable this new image to override the old one.
What confuses me more is that I have been able to change two other images in the game using the exact same method mentioned above:
I changed skillpoints.dc6;
"mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq skillpoints.dc6 data\global\ui\panel\skillpoints.dc6"
as well as changing level.dc6;
"mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq level.dc6 data\global\ui\panel\level.dc6"
thanks for reading and any insight
