Im doing a d2exp mod for me and my friends that we are gonna use in our LAN games in 2 days and im having some troubles. I changed misc.txt so that you can buy runes and stuff at all the chars. the problem is i made it to be able to buy FULL Healing and Mana potions too and that as we all know is not in the original game but anyways when i got i.e. akara i can see the full healing and mana potions and what they cost but on the info txt. it says something like this: "hxp -something something" what is causing this and how can i fix it please try to simplify the explanations since im kinda new to this. Thx------------------ Get a grip!

I checked what it said on "info thing" it said this: "hpf -not xlated call ken" what is that? and also could you help me with the drops of unique, set and rare cuz i only get the monsters and chests and everything to drop 2 piles of gold, i set the pick to -2 on the chests and on the base monsters and i set the probability of finding gold to 3 and the other probabilities higher than that 15-25 or so and i dont get a single thing other than gold! I can´t seem to understand these files and what the different stuff in them do: itemratio.txt TreasureClassEx.txt i´ve understood misc.txt almost completely but the other files are just a blur. Thx------------------ Get a grip!

I'm just a newbie too, so bare with me. Okay, first of all, I personally don't activate items that Blizzard eventually left unscathed. Maybe because of bugs. But reactivating stuff could still be the same as adding new stuff, because both are unknown "at the moment" to the game. Basically when you add new stuff they have to have new names too. So add the new names to string.tbl or to patchstring.tbl. The game won't be able to identify the new item if they don't have the proper new previously unused names. Maybe the full healing potion doesn't have a name registered in one of the .tbl's. So you just have to add names and then see what happens. With the drop, I guess the best thing to do is to change the probability of the items. If your first item is gold, maybe set it to 1. Your next item, if it's supposed to be unique or set, maybe add 2. In this case, the probability of the second item to drop is 2 out of three chances (66.67%). Gold has 1 out of three chances to drop (33.33%). So I guess that would help. Make sure that the second column is negative, and equal to the amount of items you wanna drop. In my example, I should use a -2 value, if I want gold and the 2nd item. Also make sure that NoDrop column is set to zero. If this has a value, item probability goes down to 25% for gold and only 50% for the 2nd item, because NoDrop itself has 25% probability. If the 2nd item you wanna drop is set or unique, make sure that item's level is LOWER than your character's level. For example, The Gnasher has a level of 7, so if you're lower OR EQUAL TO that level, the item won't drop. You have to at least 5 levels higher than the item's own level. So try my suggestions, because those are what I did when I tested for my new unique items. I made Rakanishu drop the same item ALL THE TIME, as long as my level is greater than the item's level. If not, I get a rare. Hope all this can help you. My fingers are alrady sore!

What exactly did you change in misc.txt?------------------ "The great secret, is not having bad manners or good manners...but having the same manner for all human souls." - George Bernard Shaw

You need to add in the item code in the tbl files...and I believe that the Full Healing and Full Mana potions in Diablo 2 don't do anything at all(because there is no built in functions).------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage
