HI. i was wondering if anyone could tell me where the image files are for items. this is the first time ive done anything like this, and all i know is that im looking for dcc or dc6 files, but when i look in patch_d2 i only found one file, a dc6 called invscl. i tried the tutorials for help, but i didnt exactly get all the info i was looking for. any info would help. thanks

The inventory graphics for items can be found in d2data.mpq and in d2exp.mpq, in the data\global\items folder. They are dc6 files, so be sure to grab a program to deal with those here at the keep, I recommend Dc6Maker 3.0

All inserts are done to patch_d2.mpq. But be sure to retain the directory location used in the original mpq for your loading script.

You can put many more files in patch_d2.mpq than the ones Blizzard provides.

ok, so what your saying is that even if i take a file out of another archive, i can insert it into patch d2 and it will work. oh, by the way, excellent quote.

Yes, that is how insertions work...anything in patch_d2.mpq overrides files of the same name in all of the other mpq's

I think this quote is especially appropriate for modding.
