This one may take the prize for most obvious question asked by a modder.

In D2 as everyone knows, you have to run the game to load your txt files, then tell it to export your txt files into .bins. Then, take the bins from the game directory and re-integrate them into your MPQ.

Here's my issue:

I can't remember the command to tell Diablo II to create .bin files. I set it up so long ago I forgot what it is.

What's the command line?

I'm not very sure of that, but I think that you've to add -txt to your command line.
Or your shortcut must look something like that: "directory where you've installed D2\Diablo2\game.exe" -txt

Tu es intelligent, astucieux, tu as des principes, de l'initiative. Secoues-toi un peu! Tu pourrais réellement avoir une chance."

In your shortcut target line, outside the quotes, add a space and then:

-direct -txt

like this

Games\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -direct -txt

Make sure to put them in a set of folders in your diablo 2 directory.
\data\global\excel.

Fireheart...I've had to ask some pretty basic questions recently myself...

don't forget to add -w on the to the end of the line so you run the game in a window and can see error messages if necessary

For my latest mod (for LoD/expansion), download Version 1.0 of Sanctuary in Chaos - Or for old stuff (for classic D2), visit my orignal mod site at www.planetdiablo.com/sanctuary
