Gorothan, not to be rude or dis you or anything but most of the columns in the txt files are selfexplanatory, only a simple *look* at the columns will pretty much tell you what you need to do. I suggest carefully looking at the txt file itself and looking at the column names which will basically tell you what you need to know. Then, if it's still confusing or you can't understand it, then you post a question...part of term modding is experimenting for yourself which yes, can cause many fun crashes but that's how you learn more quickly.

P.S. Nefarius, I'm always laughing when I go to your site...you seem to always spell the word coming, "comming." Just wanted to let you know.

well then your mod is actually the work of other ppl if you build it from stuff ppl make and explain every one of the big modders and new modders made the stuff alone in part and total(in my case total) now, i dont say u didnt do stuff alone but from what im seeing from you in chat are loads of requests and the same is the stuff ppl see on the forum. later on other ppl are blamed if somthing crashes for that part you should count in that some ppl dont really like to hang arround forums and type answers all day long like i do, and those ppl might some day just answer a wrong answer that WILL cause a crash on purpose.

Sounds to me that I don't deserve to ask a question or do anything of the kind that is biggest bunch on BS i have ever heard anyone say!!! Now i will never ask question again that way if something goes wrong i can gripe about it!!!Is that what u want nef? if not then don't reply to this if u do reply u r not making ur own mod u r making everyones mod or at least thats what u seem to be saying!!!!I am asking question before a major crash i had 1 already and had to restart my whole mod!!!

That's why you keep backups before making a really big change. I'm not saying don't ever ask a question, reread my post. The columns are very self explanatory and a little testing could be done. If then, it seems confusing or nothing is happening, then a question should be asked.

gorothon...

no one want to make you feel like you cannot ask questions...and yes, even many of us seasoned modders will ask questions so that we don't have to experience crashes.

The difference is that we tend to do so only rarely. Most of what modders do is to try things out and endure the crashes. I still crash on average of 3-10 times a night when experimenting with new modding techniques.

The problem, man, is that you repeatedly ask about very basic things. You have expressed an unwillingness to truly go through and throughly read the .txt resource files and the tutorials...and even when I explain stuff to you (and others, too), you end up asking for us to do it for you anyway.

Building off other people's ideas and asking for help does not by definition mean that someone else is doing the work for you...but asking them to do it all for you does. I don't feel like you are making any attempt to grow as a modder or to learn anything. If you don't learn...from failure and success...you won't get anywhere. I and many others have tried to be understanding, but then you ***** and moan about your crashes, or the fact that it takes too long to figure out how to do something...etc.

That kind of stuff makes us less and less willing to try to help you...because you just don't seem to be listening. I'm sorry, but I call them the way I see them...and in all the time you've been posting, you haven't changed all that much in your approach or your attitude. Don't be so surprised when people tell you to learn it yourself when the stuff you often ask about is the most basic modding that most of us learn, master and get out of the way within the first couple weeks of modding.

the same goes for my post read it again, when i reply to a question i reply to help a person not to make the work for him, with you i ended up editing the files myself, as for major crashes and restart building, guess how often other ppl get such crashes? hunderds of times, yes it is ****ing them off as well but it is no excuse eather.

Nobody likes a crash, but there are ways to minimize the frustration. First off, change one and only one thing at a time, then test that new feature. If you keep tabs on changes, and save previous versions of edited files known to work, then replacing a disaster in your MPQ file with an earlier data file is a cinch and you don't lose much ground.

Run the game in windowed mode. (I have a bunch of testing shortcuts in my D2 folder, for direct/text, windowed, direct/text/windowed.) In windowed mode, a D2 crash is a LOT less likely to lock up your machine, and you can see the popup with the crash message. That saves a few minutes of rebooting time, at the least. All you have to do is copy your existing D2 shortcut, and add -direct -txt and -w switches in the Target property field appropriately.

This is, by the way, not even necessary under Windows 2000 or XP. Under either of these operating systems the game will crash, and you can just hit Alt-Tab to return to your desktop in order to read the error message. And Gorothon, if you can't take the crashes, please stop modding. The learning curve is all about trial and error. One can not learn without making mistakes.

Forsaken u obviously don't see that I am not a quiter on mod making! My mod will prove to be fun and worth the past months it took work on a good timespendor maybe u should try my mod maybe u will like it.Although only 35% done it rules in my mind but we'll see what people think this mod will make a non-beta release when it's done in direct-text!!!!

Win 98 is difficult with full-screen crashes on my 400 MHz in a way that XP/NT/2000 isn't. Usually it takes 2 or 3 minutes for the alt-tab to finally take effect so I can close the error window, but if it's an "unhandled exception" type error it usually crashes completely. In NT kernal it's near instantaneous.
