You need to add the new armor into your patchstring.tbl by using Baron Darkstorm's tbl.editor

A medic? good ... we need more medics About the colored armor ... didn't ask that question before and had it answered? In the resources section, under codes ... there's a small (but useful) color code guide by Perfect Cell ... check it out

Hmmm ... there could be a lot of reasons why that happens (kind of a tough one to figure) ... must be something to do with the way your friend installed the mod on his PC ... maybe he should try re-installing it again under your supervision ... 'me thinks? ' ....

First try to 'undo' the mod ... preferably, by replacing his modded Patch_D2.mpq. ... with 'the one' that he hopefully made a back-up of before he installed the mod ... he did make a back-up, yes?

If you add totally new item type entries, the other player can't recognize it and he crashes. Some things work fine for the other player, some things crash them. They need your mod mpq in order for them to not crash. So, if you make a new armor type, weapon type, gem type, etc, the game will crash for the other player. New uniques, sets, and many other things don't make the game crash. Then there are client side changes that only the modder can see but the other player on tcp cannot see(like new graphics, animations and string changes).

I guess its to much to ask to have 1 armor multiple colors about 2-3 colors on 1 armor

Ok, in the transform column, keep it blank. Then, you will need to manually edit the colors of your armor in paint. So, you can give it whatever colors you want, save it, convert to .dc6 then reinsert and see if it works. It should.
