I finally have a usable version of my mod but I do not know how to send it in here, do I just send an email to Iowan and include the mod file or is it more complicated? Also my mod is a "direct" version (not mpq) so I need to know how I should zip that up as well. BTW my mod uses several plugins and a few of my own tinkerings...-all monsters drop like diablo in hell (plugin) -monster HP is about x80 and EXP is about x40 -monster spawning is extremely toned down (making boss groups somewhat of a challenge) -bolts, arrows, and some other projectiles are at rail-gun speed (and you can't fire at monsters with those projectiles from up close, just like in real life) -chilling orb now expels ice blasts and is a great deal more powerful -lvl 250 plugin from the phrozenkeep -armor values increased significantly -uber kit added in cube as well as unique maker recipe -some skills increased in power -assassin has a limit of 25 traps now -many durations of skills are increased significantly -other stuff...... thanks for the help, scambrig [This message has been edited by scambrig (edited 02 February 2002).]

You should be emailing it to Jbouley, not Iowan, because Jbouley deals with the website updates at the moment.------------------ 54x.

Yes, e-mail it to me. Please be sure to include a readme in the .zip that explains the mod's features, which patch version it's for, whether it's classic D2 or expansion, etc. This is good not only for players of the mod but for me as well..so that I can properly announce the mod on the home page if I upload it.I'm not much help on the .zipping part...I'm still trying to figure out myself how to add folders to a new zip archive and have the stuff actually stay in the folder. Whenever I try, I end up with the files all "loose" instead of inside their original folders. Can someone clue me in, too? ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

For my latest mod (for LoD/expansion), download Version 1.1 of Sanctuary in Chaos - Or for old stuff (for classic D2), visit my orignal mod site at www.planetdiablo.com/sanctuary

Jeff, if you use WinZip there are options in the add files dialog for saving folder information. Without folder information, you get all added files in one folder in the archive. Save subfolders, and you'll get any folder beneath the level you are working. But if you save full path info, you'll also get the folders you are in, all the way up to the root folder of the drive. So you might be wanting to check the first of the two options.If you use something other than WinZip, and it has a full user interface, there is probably a similar option to check.

OK, the mod is now ready, but I still can't get folders into a zip file. I'm using winzip 8.1 unregistered. I right click the folder and select winzip then "add to zip file". Now I tell it to add to archive sbmod.zip and there a few options. Save full path info and store filenames in 8.3 format both do absolutely nothing as far as adding a folder to the zip file. When I select add I get all the files that are in the folder but they aren't in any folders, they are all together. How do I put them into a folder in the zip file? I want to have the readme, the shortcut, and the folder with all the data files in it in the zip file.please help, Scambrig

Ok, it's better to just go and download WinAce, it allows you to extract many different file types that WinZip cannot and it compresses files much more efficiently then WinZip.

Ok I sent it to you jbouley. If you are going to put it on the site at the end of the week then I have to mail you a fix before you do. (yes an update before it's even officially released lol).
