Im on step 5 of idiots guide to mod making and what it says on how to install your mod.
This is what it says:
"Once all these files are together, run the install.bat which will open up a DOS window and make MPQ 2K install your new files. Don't worry when it says that there's an error because it can't find the uniqueitems.bin, because you haven't created it yet."
Well mine doesn't say error for not finding uniqueitems.bin. It displays: "A required .dll file, LMPQAPI.DLL, was not found."

I am almost positive i have followed all the directions correctly too. I have all the files (uniqueitems.txt, patchstring.tbl, MPQ 2K program, instal.txt, install.bat, and the clean patch_D2.mpq) in a folder on my desktop. I click on the install.bat, and it displays that error. ("A required .dll file, LMPQAPI.DLL, was not found.")
I am confuesed what has happened, and why it is not working if you have any ideas on why this is not working correctly, or questions about this error, please message me back.

thanks;
Lord

ok, what you do is put in those files, along with: LMPQAPI.DLL from where your mpq2k is, then put in: staredit and storm.dll

this should solve your problem
