OK so i really did get mpq2k to work, and so i insert some edited files. When i put my edited mpq file into my diablo II directory, there are no changes to the game when i run it. Why?

Try running the game with a -direct -txt extention.

Did you replace the existing patch_d2.mpq, or rename it? Renaming won't work.

I think what Apocalypse Demon meant was to try running the mod with the -direct -txt option and placing the changed files in your diablo ii/data/global/excel directory.

This will tell you if the files you edited are correct.

Once you get the files working right, you can add the .txt and .bin files to the patch_d2.mpq.

Hope this helps
