anyone know the name or location of the player status bar ? (uno the mana and life balls at the bottom of your screen)
i've started looking through all the dam files but it takes so friging long if you dont know what you are looking for..
even some kind of dc6 browser/viewer would be nice
im playing with a mod.. not new to the modding/programing/modeling/skinning scene but new to Diablo 2 modding

Welcome Spider
I dont know the names but you should look in the plugin-section and search the mana and lifebar plugin (i think by fusman) in that are the files and the names that the easiest way. Editor to look dc6-files: cv5 or if you have extrakted dc6-files you should try PSIDC6 (very good tool).

ah excellent thankyou muchly.
yes i've downloaded quite a lot of the tools and plugins.. some work well.. some a little crappy and i've read alot of the tuts and forum so i've picked up what most of you use, it all looks reasonably simple. just locating the files sometimes can be painful and time consuming, and some times the name of the file has absolutely nothing to do with what it is/does hehe.. but thats to be expected.
thanx again
*edit* sheesh what a dill.. pays to read more instead of skim.
CV5 Browser Image viewer, can view dc6 files, dt1 files and dcc files. This download also includes the diablo 2 palette file.
i already had it on disk

woot found and replaced
file names are ctrlpnl7.dc6 800ctrlpnl7.dc6
and go in /data/global/ui/panel
woot ! got my first LOD MOD working.. reasonably balanced - so far so good.
i'd like to do one from scratch one day, but this was really only a test to see how easy it was to do.
i've already made a 4 headed Hydra and he's about 4 times the size of the main man himself. still have to play more to work out more of the intricacies etc. but my thoughts are each head shoots 1 of the four elements ie fire poison lightning ice. i'd like to play with new levels/acts .. but thats a little more down the track.. i'll toy around with other peeps work a bit more before getting carried away. thanx to the lads at Phrozen - you've done most of the hard yards which makes it a bit easyier on the noobs
