Ok, here I just started working on my mod... I have the bin files and I have the edited txt files, I can insert them, but..... they don't work I am pretty sure its because I have the paths of the bin files wrong...... I have been puttin them in the same path as the txt files (dont laugh, I'll get a complexe )

use the -direct -txt methode and you can send those bin files into trash can.

YOU DID NOT USE -DIRECT -TXT you used only -TXT you do not need to put files back with -direct -txt, there is a tutorial about how to run it in -direct -txt on the main page.

Hey sneakyraven, the bin files go back into the location that you extracted the .txt files from. Just make sure, before you try making any .bin files, delete all existing .bin files from your data\global\excel subdirectory. Then after running the game in -direct -txt mode, copy both the new .txt & .bin files into your mod's .mpq, this is how i used to do it before running everything in -direct -txt
Incidentally, when you're putting files into your .mpq with a batch file for mpq2k, you're wondering if you're putting them in the right location?
Any .txt/.bin file that you're likely to mod is gonna need to be added like this:
O patch_d2.mpq
a new.txt data\global\excel\new.txt
a new.bin data\global\excel\new.bin
C patch_d2.mpq
Hope this helps you in some way
