Perhaps I misunderstood your question, but you mean how to mod on your own? Well, did you take a look at the phrozen keep's tutorials? They're great, you can learn a lot of the basics (and the not-so basic) things there .

You see, this is what happens when you've just awakened from the dream zone . For access to the tutorials, use Alkalund's portal.

The one with the .com at the end of it leads to a pack of screaming mad bots running around firin' off ASMD Shock Rifles .

You need mpq2k. I don't remember if that comes with MpqMax, I tried MpqMax once when I started modding and never got it to work. But mpq2k isn't hard to use if you read the Idiot's Guide to Modding tutorial. The main thing is sequencing your activities.

0> Back up your patch_d2.mpq somewhere safe
1> Edit the text file.
2> copy edited file to data\global\excel which you make in your game folder.
3> run D2 with -direct -txt switches. The -w switch is a good idea, to make sure you can recover easier from crashes.
4> look for the BIN file that matches your text file from data\global\excel. Bring that, your text file, and a COPY of patch_d2.mpq to where you have mpq2k.
5> run mpq2k. This DOS program runs best if you make a script file and a bat file as outlined in the tutorial.
6> put your new patch_d2.mpq in your game directory and run with only the -w switch or none at all.
