To share some of the info that I have learned from all the wonderful people here.

If you are using a mod, which you probably are, then it is caused by something being called on that doesn't exist. As for an exact reason this occured, you will have to ask the mod maker on that one. I get errors like that all the time, I just try and pin point when it is happening and then either try to figure it out myself or post in the authors forum.

Oh and I am sure you will get a kick out of this, before I realized that it was the mod that had caused the error, I emailed Blizzards tech support..... Oops... Boy did I feel silly when I relized it was because of the mod. Hope this helps some.....

this is a txt / bin error.

Dang, I got you to respond? WOW! You rock almost as much as Jeff...

Um, well, TreasureClassEx, Runes, and monstats. Those are the only things I've edited... at all. Jeff can tell you the ones I"ve modded with his help, but I don't understand this one. I gave the runeword I made dmg-pois 175 25 35, that's along with others, If you E-mail me at DavidB0002@aol.com, I'll explain more, do you have AIM or YahooIM? Anything like that?

David, lost and hoping he can become the next 54X

I was getting errors like this when I modded Runes.txt. On this forum I have learned that Runes.txt is VERY sensitive to the program used to edit it. D2Excel (available this site) works...text editors (and MS Excel?) don't. I think it has something to do with the fact that Runes does NOT have a line-terminating column (with some value always present) like most other text files have.

Yes, definitly ... modifying the runes.txt is very sensitive ... when I first tried to that, my game would freeze up or not load at all ... did you modify a specific runes attributes? For, example, editing an 'ohm' rune to be more powerful than it originaly was? Doing this the wrong way can cause all sorts of problems ... what was your exact procedure when did the edit?

Ah, I figured it out, I didn't know that Runes.txt was a *****...Sorry, MPHQ.

Well, I"ll look at that d2Excel program right after I finish my downloads of my Over 18 movies....Good day..

AresGodofWar (cool name), the rune.txt can indeed be 'moded' ... *****?? Do you mean h***k? You don't need to do anything like that to edit runes ... Just like anything else in the game, it can be 'moded' ... it is just that in the case of runes, it is very sensitive, because there are many factors involved ... I don't think there are any tutorials that outline how to do this ... if you need any help, I'll be glad to assist ... (D2 excel is a very user-friendly program to work with, I also suggest that you use this program) ... you could probably learn how to mode runes on your own, just through experimenting ... doing it this way makes everything very intuitive, and you pick up many subtle details that you would only gain through actual experience ... I hope you enjoy your 18 movies !! ... good luck ... and we (or I) will be here if you need any help

Actually, I was trying to swear, Axalon....

I managed to make that work, but now I'm having trouble making someone drop the neccassary runes... All it does is drop the same rune three times....Amn... As much as I would like 21% life leeching.....

I don't understand why the runes don't drop, and I'll E-mail you later as well with some more info....

David

PS, thanks for saying it's a cool name...

Well, I finally got all that working now! YES! But, I guess the -3 is better than the +3 I'm using. If anyone can tell me how to paste a screen shot here, I will....

Ironicly my trident is at 63-112 damage! hehehe...


Well, maybe I won't show a pic, people might know how to do them....:-)
