I have just began to go through the begining toturials for mod making in D2Lod v 1.09, and I have run into two problems:#1 I cannot find my .tbl files using mpqview. Just nothing is displayed! In the "Idiot's guide to mod making," it explains how you should get the uniqueitems.txt and patchstring.tbl. I found the uniqueitems.txt, but when i filter for .tbl files nothing is displayed. I even searched my whole comp for ".tbl" but nothing was brought up! Does anyone know how I can get the .tbl type files to show up? #2 This one is not as impotant, but none the less needs to be fixed somehow. When I downloaded the "JBouley's MPQ View Datafile," it brought up a html page with all the text displayed. I figured thats weird but whatever. I then copied the text from the page to a word document, (sinse it was to big for .txt) But then renamed it later to a txt file once saved on my hard drive. Then i put it into my MPQView folder and when I "opened data file" I used the "JBouley's MPQ View Datafile," instead of the normal defualt one that comes with MPQView, and used "opened archive" of patch_D2, like normal. Then a dialogue box with the warning sign appears saying that there is an: "Access violation at address 1513080 in module 'STORM.DLL'. Read of address 00f4ff98." All i know is that the 'storm.dll' file that the warning displays is a file that came with MPQView when i downloaded it. If anyone has any idea of what the hell is going on in either one of problems, I would be very happy if you messaged back why the problem occured and/or how to fix it. Thank you. Lord

For your first problem, type in this in the data txt file(at the end of it):data\local\LNG\ENG\patchstring.tbl data\local\LNG\ENG\string.tbl data\local\LNG\ENG\expansionstring.tbl This will "unlock" all the tbl files. As for your second problem, try doing "save target as" on the file link and it should download properly to your hardrive. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Well, as far as im concerned, your a genius! Thanks a lot. I typed in the names for the patchstring, and then ran MPQView, and it worked. Then I saved target as and it downloaded properly, and everthing is fine. Thanks again.

RE: My diabdata file.My stupid mistake. I uploaded it as a .txt file...which I should have realized would be pulled up as a "web" page. I have updated it to be a .zip file, so that now you can unzip it and get a nice, plain .txt file. I tried to test the link, but I'm still pulling up the old tools of the trade page on my system...I think it's an AOL glitch...but if anyone else finds that the link in Tools of the Trade is still pointing to the .txt version, let me know. ------------------ - 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

Cool thanks for fixing it. If I find out about anybody else getting the .txt version I'll be sure to tell ya.
