i made 2 different small charms that i wanted to have different grahics and eventual name them different. I changed flp and inv graphics on my new charm but stayed the same as my other charm and same as if i changed the herb into a small charm. How do i change thses graphics without disrrupting each other. thank you

make a new item type in ItemTypes.txt using basically the same info as the current one. (except that you'll want to eliminate the information about variable inventory graphics...or replace those graphics in your new item type with the name of the graphic for your new charm.


Assign that new itemtype in the Type column in misc.txt for your new charm.

As you'll see in the ItemTypes.txt file, the charm types are set to choose from several different graphics. As long as you use that item type for your new charm, it will pull it from there. If you make a new charm itemtype, you can establish a whole new set of graphics or simply specify none in ItemTypes.txt...in which case it will pick what you put in misc.txt.

Whenever an item type is set for variable inventory gfx (which is the case for the current ring, amulet, charm entries), that will override what you put in the inventory graphics column in misc.txt

its not the bins its not anything anymore its just crashing. I dunno what the hell is going on now =(. My patch_mpq works but something wrong in the excel folder.

tried alot of stuff i am stumped

When i save a armor.txt file it saves as armor but shows misc.txt stuff. When i got my fresh patch changes where made to a helm wierd thought it would be safe in zip file in a different directery but the helm was modified.

When I use D2Excel I have found that if I save one file then open another that it saves as the first file saved.

eg. If I were to save misc.txt then open, edit, and save armour.txt, when I open misc.txt it is actually armor.txt.

Thus I have started using a new instance of D2excel for each txt file to avoid saving mishaps.

Hope this helps and doesn't confuse you.
