You must have both the MPQ and the file your adding to it in the MPQ folder or you must type in the path exactly to where they're at. For example if your adding monstats.txt you could just use:

mpq2k a patch_d2.mpq monstats.txt data\etc\monstats.txt

But if the your txt file and the MPQ your adding it to aren't in the folder you must type in the path like:

mpq2k a c:\whatever\diablo2\patch_d2.mpq c:\whatever\monstats.txt data\etc\monstats.txt

Nonexistent file just means it's not finding the file where your telling it to look for it.

Adding and extracting files never changed between x-pac and CD2. MPQ2k still works the same way it always has. Don't try adding a txt you took from a CD2 patch to a x-pac one though.. and vice versa

Also, with a lot of files (paricularly the .txt files), if you try to add them into the patch while they are open in another application...it won't work.

Just so you know...
