Mine refuses to work.

I tried adding the blank space for the last column (using MSExcel), but no cigar.

If anyone has successfully modded v1.09 Runes.txt and/or knows what else must be done to get it to work, please post here or mail me. If you've modded v1.09 Runes.txt could you mail your Runes.txt so I can see if I've just got some corrupted version (hope not) or something. Thanks!!

It seems runes.txt is very unstable. Try using D2Excel for it.

Yeap, D2Excel (or another program that better handles trailing tabs such as Staroffice) will be able to function better with that file. Usually, after saving the file in a program like Excel and then opening it up in something like D2Excel or Star Office's Spreadsheet program, you'll find that alot of your rows have 5 or more spacse in between them. Not good for runes.txt as the game will crash upon attempting to execute it.

I've tried D2Excel (only just ) no cigar again

gorothon, use pre-109 runes.txt? won't that be unaccepted. Will try tho thanks.

Zhoul, I read that post on D2Excel and StarOffice too. Anyway, when I opened it up in D2Excel, did a single! change to the Ancient's Pledge so I could test. No luck there. Do I still have to create the extra column at the end?

And will the pre1.09 runes.txt work? thanks.

No, but I have the beta runes.txt file and it has the runewords from 1.07(about 50-60 runewords) that were disabled. You can add those in your 1.09 runes.txt if you want.

Quite odd, D2Excel and Staroffice worked with my runes.txt without any troubles. Anyway, good luck with it I'm not sure what might be keeping it from working unless the change was made to an already corrupted runes.txt file.

This post here has a bit more detailed explanation about the runes.txt problem.

Other files might cause this error, if you left the last column blank in your changed rows. Some files have a "Term" column that should always be zero.


That post was found in the following thread...

runes, runes, runes...
i just figured these puppies out today. forget MS excel, and try isilweo's editor. also, when adding the keys into patchstring.tbl, make sure you put RunewordX (from runes.txt 'name' column) for the key. the actual runeword name is it's value. (Ancient's Pledge)
Also, if you have Runeword029 or anything with a leading zero, drop that zero when inputting key into patchstring. (Runeword029 = Runeword29)
...at least that worked for me. good luck.

First off, you are talking about Baron Darkstorm's Table Editor. Secondly, we aren't taking about string editors, we are talking about spreadsheet programs that save the txt files.

Edit: Ignore this post, I never read your post carefully enough...

so has anyone got a 100% non-corrupted runes.txt? I extracted mine straight from v1.09d and used D2Excel immediately without using MSExcel.

But still no luck. I've got to go already, but I'll think abt it today and work on it tonight (again~~!!)

Thanks for the many responses! Mucho gracias.

Did you clear out the BIN file created by the previous attempt at runes.txt? I'll send you mine, I haven't had any trouble with it since I learned about D2Excel.

This has been posted before, but everyone seems to ignore it. Just add a column of 0s and runes.txt works fine with Excel.

I haven't really messed around with Runes.txt, can't come up with any good combinations. The only text editor i'm using is d2textviewer, it works pretty well, Except it doesn't have Cut and Paste, and you can't add any columns.
Bummer i was hoping to add a Transform, and Transformcolor column to the CubeMain, and find out which rares affixes, turn specific items into colors.
Bah i'll never get it, if i knew the Offset and Address for them, i'd change them myself, I just started learnin Hex, it's way confusing.
