OK so i set up the txt files with the modded txt in them, and the bin files and everything,(the files i included to overwrite were cubemain.txt , cubemain.bin, armor.txt and armor.bin)
So, i save the Bat file, and i run it.
Guess what.
Mpq2k runs, then 1 second after it starts running, it closes. why?

You don't run mpq2k, you run that bat file.

Well, since you said you generated the bin files already, run the game in -direct -txt method and see if it works.

You see, this is why I gave you a ration of crap in one of your other threads. You post multiple threads and you get answers that are disconnected. That's why you got your first warning. I won't hammer you with a second warning since you hadn't been warned when you posted this...but don't keep doing this.

My response to your other thread (which I will now go close off to prevent further confusion) is on the right track I think. I don't believe you have your .bat file and assocaited .txt file set up properly. Either that or your modded files aren't in the same folder or you are missing some file that goes with mpq2k...please go back and carefully read the tutorials. You strike me as the kind of person who skims over tutorials instead of really reading them.

Ok, just incase Stupid STILL hasn't figured anything out, open notepad.txt

Then, cut and paste the information below.

@echo off
cls
echo This mod was made by HelpMeImStupid@email.address
echo With this mod Diablo 2 will (insert text)
pause

copy patch_d2.mpq patch_d2.old
mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq cubemain.txt data\global\excel\cubemain.txt
mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq cubemain.bin data\global\excel\cubemain.bin
mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq armor.txt data\global\excel\armor.txt
mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq armor.bin data\global\excel\armor.bin
echo Patching complete!

Now, save this file as install.bat

Is it that hard???

Now, if you ever edit any other files and wish to put it in your mpq, just add a line like this

mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq (file name) (file's location in the MPQ)

ez as 1 2 3.

To run a txt, you save the txt file as .bat file.

Poor Stupid fella...

My advice: play safe and stay with the basics. Wanna crash the game? Go ahead and go wild.
