Ouch...Jbouley, that must be insulting... Anyways, don't call other people's mods lousy just because they don't fit your criteria.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

In your mymod.bat file, type in:mpq2k s mymod.txt Now, in your mymod.txt for editing itemratio.txt, you type in: O patch_d2.mpq A itemratio.txt data\global\excel\itemratio.txt A itemratio.bin data\global\excel\itemratio.bin C patch_d2.mpq Hope this helps. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Uhh, make a seperate folder for your mod files. The mymod.txt, bat, your patch_d2.mpq(you should have a backup too), your modded txt files and bins as well as StarEdit, lmpqapi.dll, storm.dll, mpq2k should ALL be in that mod folder. Also, in your main diablo 2 directory, make a folder named "data". In that folder, put another folder named "global". In that global folder, make another folder called "excel". You will need this later. Now, when you do this, go back to your mod folder and run your batch file, then run the game in -txt mode. This should make a bunch of .bin files generate in your data\global\excel folder you made. Copy those bins and paste them all inside the mod folder, then run your .bat file again. When that happens, copy your modded patch_d2.mpq and paste it over the patch_d2.mpq in your main D2 directory(make sure you have a backup). Then, run the game in -direct -txt(this is how I do it and it works fine) and the mod should work.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

It would be pretty hard for me to take offense at any comment regarding the Power Item Mod...I threw it together in about 20 or 30 minutes in response to complaints that other "drop mods" weren't generous enough.I don't have enough emotional investment in the mod to take any comments personally. Now, if you were to insult my Sanctuary in Chaos mod...then we'd have a problem.  In any case, all questions about what a .bin file is and how to do basic modding and all that can be answered by visiting our home page (link is at the bottom of the page: Phrozen Keep) and clicking on the tutorials link. Start with the Idiot's guide and then go on to the other basic tutorials. It's not really all that hard to mod. It's just that some files are harder to understand and manipulate than others. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer." For my latest mod (for LoD/expansion), download Version 1.1 of Sanctuary in Chaos - Or for old stuff (for classic D2), visit my orignal mod site at www.planetdiablo.com/sanctuary
