I´ve just started modding and tried to make a firegolem that uses the hydra fire as primary attack... i´ve read the newbie guide and so i opend the patch_d2.mpq ad editet the monstats.txt (under skill 1 where hydra got 202... so i gave the golem the same skill) then i saved the file packed it into the patch_d2.mpq and startet the game.exe wirt the -txt parameter ... but i never got some bin ( i did exactly that what the nub guide descripe, only with the monstats.txt and without editing the patchstring.tbl is that the right way to get the golem to use hydra fire and why i never got some .bin? or is it because i am using lod?

Did you create the folder data\global\excel\ in your D2 dir? if not, you need to create it then load the game with the edited text packed in your patch_D2.mpq, then save out of the game. Next look in the folder data\global\excel\. The bin files should be in there...

Give him the skill in the skill1 columns is useless. Because his programmed AI does not tell him to stop and cast hydra. Thus, you will need to use a different AI. Try using the council AI(but then you have to make him heal as well). And for your bins, they should generate in your data\global\excel folder.
