You probably packed the file wrong.

I suggest testing using the -direct -txt method, it works much much better. It's also a heck of a lot faster.

ok i did that and put all the stuff in but i still can't find the item. i tried to make her sell the item but its not there. what am i doing to make the item not showup in the game? I did the tut and i still can't get it to work(the one on adding new helm), should be the same thing for the armor but not sure.
if there are any better tut can you tell me beacse the ones that are there just mess me up and don't tell how to do everyting.(i'm a newbie)

I don't know about a better tut...

If she's not seeling it change a few columns.

1 ItemLevel
2 Level
3 Rarity

Make the top 2 both 0 for the test. The 3rd should be 1.

Make sure you put at least 1 in CharsiMin and CharsiMax as well.

That should make her sell it. Heck, try making Akara Sell it. Since she never sells any other armor there will be 100% chance of her selling that armor so long as you make the level 0.

If it doesn't show up after that, make sure you put in the right token codes in you string table. Also, make sure they are in the patchstring.tbl file. That one works the best for me.

i dont think you read it you looked at it there is a diffrence, how ever add the item code to one of the rows in treasureclass.txt or add a new row to treasureclass.txt and change a monster to drop that class.

Correction, add it to treasureclassex.txt, not treasureclass.txt...

i think this is logical they are making a lod mod. if they wouldent know this without help then they should better start with something like changing tome quantity.

Yes Apocalypse Demon treasureclass.txt is only used if you start the d2-classic game.

@Physco sorry that i can't help you.
The only idea i have is to read all posts which asked something about drops and maybee so you found what you need.

Decreasing the nodrop and increasing the chance for that particular item. You could also make it appear in the file a little more often...
