After you modded your experience.txt file, did you generate a new experience.bin file from the .txt file and inserted them both into your Patch_D2.mpq file?------------------ "To dream a life, or to live a dream ... only through desire shall the sleeper awaken."

You need to create a directory in your D2 directory which is data\global\excel, then after you alter your txt files, run the mod in -txt method, go into a game, exit the game and the bins should generate in your data\global\excel directory. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

So if I edit the exp txt. and put it back in the patch and run the game in -txt. format I should get the bin files in the dir? And if so do I have to do anything with the bin file besides putting it back into the patch? Also would the edited exp.txt be my moded one?------------------ Deranged

You put a copy of your modded exp.txt file in your data\global\excel folder ... there should be no other exp.txt files or exp.bin files in that folder ... only your newly edited exp.txt file ... then in your mod folder which contains the MPQ 2K program, put your edited exp.txt file along with your Patch_D2.mpq and run the install.bat .. thenEnter the game by -txt format ... then save and exit the game ... a new exp.bin file should now have been created in your data\global\excel folder ... put that new .bin file into your mod folder and insert it into your Patch_D2.mpq by running the install.bat again ... now your Patch_D2.mpq file has been modded with the changes you wanted to make ... in this case, your experience.txt file ... enter the game and you should see your results in effect ------------------ "To dream a life, or to live a dream ... only through desire shall the sleeper awaken."
