When I try to open the patch_d2.mpq of AR and ES it was the same... Im trying to view the hireling.txt but it appears that they're both the same as the hireling.txt of the unmodded patch... I cant see what they've done and what they have editted... im using the datafile of jeff... and seem to be not working with me... does the mpqviewer has some sort of cache? becoz it seems to be it always open up the unmodded patch_d2...
tnx in advance

Some modmakers only pack their modded BIN files, because they don't want others "borrowing" their techniques. If they don't explicitly delete the TXT files from the MPQ, the old, unmodded TXT files will still be there.
Just like Blizzard, they have a right to maintain control over their intellectual property. It is a lot of work to build a good mod, and I certainly don't blame anybody who does that.
