TreasureClassEx.txt is the biggie. Itemratio.txt also plays a role in drops.

It failed, as in nothing happened---or, it failed, as in crashed?If the former, remember that each line in TreasureClassEx.txt is a potential drop...so you might have to play a long time to get the drop you're testing. Unless you are doing an easy explicit test like the Quill Rat Drop.

You might have corrupted mpq2k or something. Try reinstalling mpq2k from the download file, and get a CLEAN Blizzard patch. Then be sure you have made your script and batch files correctly (example below):MPQLoad.txt: O patch_d2.mpq a treasureclassex.txt data\global\excel\treasureclassex.txt a treasureclassex.bin data\global\excel\treasureclassex.bin C patch_d2.mpq Install.bat: mpq2k s MPQLoad.txt One thing I remember hearing about: there are two versions of mpq2k. Version 2.x uses a more recent Starcraft file (staredit.exe) that D2-only users don't have and can't download. Version 1.x is what you can find at the Keep. Both versions will mod a Blizzard D2 mpq, but neither version will read the other version's modded mpqs. I haven't confirmed this, since I don't have Starcraft and can only use mpq 1.x.
