i am now getting an error msg when i try to load up any characters. here is the error that i keep getting

AssertionFailure:
Location:Fog\scr\Excel\excel.cpp,line#529
expression: data==SYM_EOL

b4 this error i was getting another error after i killed some monsters
here is the error.
Location 2common\items\itemmod.dpp,line#1182
Expression:Pskillinfo&&pskillinfo->fcanbeitemeffect

could the 2nd error be of the weapon i was using(a unique dagger icr8ed) or could it be of an item the monster was dropping?

if anyone can fill me on any details of either error i would be very grateful

Not sure about the first error, but the second error is due to your weapon or armor/item have a charged or gethit or hitskill that does not work. Not all of them work. For example, Hurricane as a gethit skill gives you that error message.

thats odd though because the only skill mod the weapon has is +1 to all skills

i havent used n e charges on any weapon or armor i have cr8ed

could it be something else?

yeah that 1st error is really getting to me ... though i may be able to find out at least what txt file is causing the error ..since the game stops cr8ing bin files at a certain point....dos the game cr8 the bin files alphabetically? i hope so cause it would make it a lot easier for me

That first error is often generated by a faulty mod of Runes.txt. Are you changing this file, and what program do you use? Runes.txt is VERY touchy and should only be changed with a program that keeps trailing tabs, such as D2Excel available here under Tools of the Trade.

Other files might cause this error, if you left the last column blank in your changed rows. Some files have a "Term" column that should always be zero.

Yeap, even simply opening, saving, and closing the runes.txt file in a program like Excel (even if no changes were made to it) can cause the game to crash.

If you have StarOffice, that will also allow you to successfully edit the runes.txt file. Usually, when you save the file in a program like Excel, and then open it back up in D2Excel or Staroffice (or another capable application), you'll find that alot of your rows have a bunch of spaces in between them.

I think I can help you with your first error.

There are trailing zero's at the end of most of the text files, if you forget to enter these #'s Diablo will crash after selecting your character and before the little window lights up.

So in summary just check what you edited and make sure that you have a 0 or a # matching whatever is in the last column.

By the way I have created this bug in both the cubemain and magic prefix files.

Hope this helps

the 1st error can pop up in a lot of file (technically all of them) what you need to do is go thru all the files you have modded. go to the last column and move down until you find a blank. if it's not the end of the file or a separator (say 'Expansion' in certain files, eg. Armor/Weapon etc), the you need to add a 0. A lot of file have this term column which is like a placemarker.

2nd bug: this is due to the item that was dropping, not what you already have. only way to find this is to go thru MagicPrefix/Suffix (if you've modded them) or automagic, if you've done some crazy stuff with it and look for something that sounds suspicious. oh personal finding, you can't use +X to Magic Arrow. Don't ask why, it just crashes the game, period.
