take the data/local/lng/eng/patchsting.tbl from patch_d2.mpq and put it in data\local\lng\fra\patchstring.tbl

then take data\local\lng\eng\string.tbl from d2data.mpq and put it in data\local\lng\fra\string.tbl

repeat that with data\local\lng\eng\expansionstring.tbl put it in data\local\lng\fra\expansionstring.tbl and you have the english text in your game

But it didn't work because some files does not exist ! Data\local\lng\eng\patchstring & Data\local\lng\eng\expansionstring aren't in my game, the only one i've got is the string.tbl stored in D2data.mpq ...

patchstring can be found in patch_d2.mpq
expansionstring is found in d2exp.mpq I believe.

Hope that helps.

Won't it be easier to use a dll to order the game to make reference from the Eng folder?

wont have any function, the game sez what language version to call thru the reg, i changed mine to another .dll and still stayed german you would need to change some stuff in the .dll to make it work and if some one dosent know that a viewer needs a data file to see files i think that editing a .dll would be to advanced

in general, replacing 3 files will always be faster and more simple then editing hardcoded stuff


maybe this will be of help

copy this into a .txt file

DATA\LOCAL\LNG\ENG\STRING.TBL
DATA\LOCAL\LNG\ENG\PATCHSTRING.TBL
DATA\LOCAL\LNG\ENG\EXPANSIONSTRING.TBL

save the .txt as data.txt and load it as a data file in the viewer, now it will only find those files, next open PATCH_D2.MPQ and EXTRACT PATCHSTRING.TBL

then open D2EXP.MPQ and EXTRACT EXPANSIONSTRING.TBL

then open D2DATA.MPQ and EXTRACT STRING.TBL

make a new .txt file that contains MPQ2K S SCRIPT.TXT save this .txt file as RUNME.BAT

make a new .txt file that contains

O PATCH_d2.MPQ
A STRING.TBL DATA/LOCAL/LNG/FRA/STRING.TBL
A PATCHSTRING.TBL DATA/LOCAL/LNG/FRA/PATCHSTRING.TBL
A EXPANSIONSTRING.TBL DATA/LOCAL/LNG/FRA/EXPANSIONSTRING.TBL
C PATCH_d2.MPQ

save this .txt file as SCRIPT.TXT, now run the file you created b4 called RUNME.BAT and your done

well no one seams to know that the d2lang.dll IS not related to the language version directly, when you install the game the setup puts the language version data in your reg the reg (note im not sure if they didnt make it so this data is editable any more since i think now THE CD does the regs job) then tells the game from what offset/adress to read in d2lang.dll if the .dlls would be diferent then you would have different patch versions for different language versions.

NefariusDX: so you're saying there's nothing I can do as a modder to enjoy everyone views the mod in English unless I replace all the other language strings with English ones?

unless you do that or you try to see if the game still uses the reg for language version then right a script .bat or .vbs or any other way you want to change that value, but replacing the string files is fast and very easy (except for korean, chinese and japanese d2 versions) which will crash if you put the english string files in them. do what i do on my current project, first make ALL the string changes then copy and paste the ENG or whatvere folder and call it DEU for german FRA for french, ITA for italian, ESP for spanish there are more POL,KOR,JAP and CHI but those will prolly crash maybe POL wont but the rest will


SRY, DarkArcheron, replace what i spelled as FR with FRA
