I've found that if I alter or add to the Runes.txt file in any way I get an error of unknown type (I hear the sound but no box pops up) that locks up my computer. I know it has nothing to do with what I am altering, I tested it by simply changing one of the item's light radius from 2 to 1 and still had it happen. Any ideas why, or is this typical?

run it in a window if you cant se the error message then post what it sez here, you probably gave some mods that cant be on a item to it (like making a rune word add sockteds)------------------ Ňëƒąřİű§ Official Modding since v1.02!!!

Thanks, but no, it wasn't in the way I modded it. Making ANY change to the file caused a crash. I did a test changing nothing in the file except the light radius of one of the item's from 1 to 2 and it crashed. I did find an old post suggesting Excel and runes.txt don't get along together so I'll try using something else to edit the file.

use d2excel editor here at the Keep...it doesn't harm the runes.txt file. Excel often does, though.  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

Exactly... as I recall, M$ Excel inserts a newline after the last nonempty cell in a line. All other files has a column that is always filled at the end, but not runes.txt, so Excel cuts some lines too short, which D2 doesn't like. All other files can be edited in Excel, though.Watcher ------------------ "See you in the next Hell, sucker!" --Al Stark in The Wonderland Gambit

I think I'd better add these tidbits to the FAQ list on the Keep with my next update.  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer."
