Allways when I make a mod with .txt and .bin files, I can only open my modded game when I use -direct -txt.
If I don't do that, I just get the normal game.

Yup

That's how you activate the .bin and .txt files, through -direct -txt. If you want to make it a permanent, you need to install them into your .mpq file...

When you run using those commands, -txt tells the game to create bins using the txts in the MPQ, and -direct tells the game to run using those txts. Like Syntaks said if you want to be able to run the game normal with no extra -direct -txt you need to add the bins from c:\program files\diablo2\data\global\excel.

Seems to me it's becoming more convenient to just send your mod out in txt form and have people run with -direct -txt than send out a 10mb mpq file..
