I'm having trouble replacing the assassin graphic. I want to make a sample replacement first, before I start work on the graphic changes. Here's the steps I took.1) First, I extracted the heavy armor legging from the expansion pack.
mpq2k e d2exp.mpq data\global\CHARS\AI\LG\AILGHVYNUHTH.dcc
2) Then, I reinsert the heavy legging into the game, replacing the light legging neutral stance.
mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq ailghvynuhth.dcc data\global\chars\ai\lg\ailglitnuhth.dcc
3) Using Cv5, I make sure the patch_d2.mpq has the dcc I added.
But, when I start the game, the changes didn't take effect! The neutral stance for legs without armor, should have its graphic changed to appear as though the legs are using heavy armor. That didn't happen. Anyone know what I did wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I also tried to insert the dcc into d2exp.mpq, but all that did was mess up the mpq when I tried. All the directories diappeared, though the mpq still remained at 240+ megs.
