when i open a character to make the bin file appear. will dat overwrite the existing bin file in that same folder that i use it to keep the bin file for my mod?(data\gobal \excel)<--- something like dis , i follow the tutorial path

Or do i need to delete the existing bin file first then open character to make the bin file appear

1 more question , do i need to put the txt file which i wan to mod at the same folder which i use to collect the bin file?

sorry my english language not dat gd hope u all understand wat i trying to say

I think I understand... let's see.

I think the bin files will overwrite, but it's safest to delete the existing bin first.

And yes, you MUST put the txt file in \data\global\excel BEFORE generating bins, otherwise you'll get an unmodded bin.

hey Z, I see you're from Singapore too. nice to see another one of us around! I think that brings the total to four? Good luck modding.

You must remove all the bins before starting up the mod, because the game looks for .bin files before .txt files, and if the .bin file is already there, it will not generate and hence your modding .txt file will not work. allow me to share my clearbin.bat file:
---
@echo off
d:
cd\progra~1\diablo~1\mod\joe\data\global\excel

if exist *.bin goto clearbin
goto fin

:clearbin
del *.bin
:fin
exit
---
well this is customised to suit my setup, where the Diablo II directory is in D:\Program Files\Diablo II, and the mod starts in ....\mod\joe\

so say if your Diablo II directory is C:\Diablo II, you should change the D: to C: and remove the progra~1\ from the target directory

well save the result in a .bat file (make sure it's a .bat file) using Notepad. and voila! you'll get a one-click file to remove all the dumb bins
