When I open patch_D2.mpq, the tutorial says I should have patchstring.tbl, and I have no .tbl files, just .txt files. Did I miss something? I d/l ver 1.06 of patch_D2, but it was the same way. Solutions?

If you're using mpqview then check your datafile, open it in a text editor & make sure you have the line "data\local\lng\eng\patchstring.tbl" and if you don't then just add it into the list and save it. You'll see it in your list next time you use it. Also, if you haven't got ANY .tbl files in your list, the others are "data\local\lng\eng\expansionstring.tbl" also in the d2exp.mpq, and "data\local\lng\eng\string.tbl" in the d2data.mpq. And bear in mind if you're using the filter (drop down menu at the bottom right of mpqview) that it's case sensitive, try deleting .TBL and typing over with .tbl

Thanks for the help. Doing what you suggested fixed the problem.
Now it's time to bury my head in excel spreadsheets for hours until I go crosseyed with data.
