Hello, this is probably one of the most stupid questions in the book, but after following all the steps in the tutorial at Phrozen Keep, I'm at a loss of where to put my new experience.txt file.

I edited it so that I could get up to level 120, but I am really not sure what to do with it now...can anyone please help me? BTW I have a mod installed right now and don't want to replace it. HELP PLZ!

p.s. I'm new to this stuff, so please explain this like your speaking to a 10 year old .

http://www.planetdiablo.com/phrozenkeep/tutorials.htm <- read and learn

Ok, my 10 year old friend, the best and clearest way for you to learn how to mod, is to read the tutorials ... I suggest you start with the basics

I see...what I am trying to do is Insert my new Experience.txt file into patch_d2.mpq . I have read through http://www.planetdiablo.com/phrozenkeep/pktut-inserting.htm a few times but it doesn't seem to work. Could anyone possibly elaborate for me please? I have checked the patch_d2.mpq after following all of the steps in that tutorial, and yet still there is no experience.txt in the mpq.

So how would I go about inserting my new experience.txt into the patch_d2.mpq file? After reading http://www.planetdiablo.com/phrozenkeep/pktut-inserting.htm a few times, I have the same results, experience.txt is not going inside the patch.mpq file for some reason.

That error usually occurs because the various lines have a certain number of tabs, and Excel tends to lose tabs after the last non-null entry. Or maybe somehow you defined a new cell past the rightmost column and all your succeeding entries are misaligned. Check your Experience file with in Excel and make sure the spreadsheet doesn't include unexpected columns...set the grid headers to show and print preview. If you did have an extra column, be sure to delete the column completely, not just clear contents.

Another problem, which we don't all agree upon. Your experience tables include values past 4,294,967,295. That is the largest value a 32-bit variable can hold. Some people have been successful (how???) using numbers between that limit and 5,000,000,000. But don't be surprised if you get a different error after you fix your end-of-line error.
