What do you mean it won't find it? You put in your .dc6 graphics(with the correct paths written in the install.txt) and run the install.bat and it should work. Works for me.

i had the right path man . its simple i understand the path. But the actual method i posted does not run txt or anything so i have been doing my batch this way@echo off cls echo This mod was made by Wyvern echo With this Diablo 2 will (insert text) pause copy patch_d2.mpq patch_d2.old mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq ect. echo patching complete! the way i want to do just has this in the batch as shown on idiots tutorial. This threw me off at the begining and tried to do it but just wouldn't run anything so i tried the way i just showed ya and it works but not for the dc6 for some reason . anyways i would like to get the other way to work it is easyer than the way i do it. don't worry about the graphic yet someone helped me think i know how to get it to work. mpq2k s install.txt

Forget about this echo stuff, just use the normal methods. In the install.txt, type in the directory like:<filename>.dc6 data\global\items\<filename>.dc6 Then, keep your .dc6 in that same folder, run the batch and it should say it added it into the mpq...

Should i be having ms dos short cut being generated in there if so i got it to work. nm its just ms dos . i tried saving it as all files as install.bat and made a ms dos shortcut and install thing . i have been saving it as .bat is that the right way i tried this way thinking maybe i was doing it the wrong way. cannot figure out my problem does not load txt is txt not script file?[This message has been edited by Wyvern (edited 11 February 2002).] [This message has been edited by Wyvern (edited 11 February 2002).]

Your bat file should be nothing more thanmpq2k s script.txt "script.txt" can be any name, as long as it matches the script file name exactly, and isn't already used by another file. You can write it up in Notepad, just save it as runmpq.bat or some such name, as long as it ends in .bat. [This message has been edited by Myhrginoc (edited 11 February 2002).]

You need .txt for D2 text files, certainly. But your script file can be named just about anything you want, doesn't have to be .txt. It does have to BE a text file, and the full name must agree with the name used in the batch file that calls it. I use MPQLoad.txt because that name is self-explanatory  Your dc6 file will still have a .dc6 extension.
