Druid summonables as enemies? Go to the Tutorials section and read the Monster tutorial 1 (newly added to the roster). The steps in there for making enemy golems work equally well for druid pets.As for your laundry list of questions: 1. Change them either in string.tbl (if they are from Acts 1-IV) or expansionstring.tbl (if in Act V). Use Baron Darkstorm's table editor at the Keep. You change what is in the RIGHT-HAND column, NOT the left 2. No can do...D2 does not like it when outdoor areas are altered to look like those from another areas from other acts. You might not crash...but it will look really funky. 3. You can change the base monster type in superuiques.txt, as well as the powers (there is a list of the superunique powers in Resources at the Keep). You can change the names in the appropriate .tbl files as described in #1 above. 4. Changing the area names actually requires changing gfx files...it's not a simple .txt file change unfortunately. 5. I suspect this is the same as #4 6. Use the code for Extra Strong. See #3 7. Check out the TreasureClassEx tutorial. Check back in the forums with specific questions if you cannot figure out exactly what to do. Also, some recent threads in the past week or so have covered this. Do a search. 8. This is available in the Plug-Ins section of the Keep, already set up for easy insertion. 9. Already addressed this at the start of my reply. 10. cubemain.txt 11. Set Spawn to 1 in monstats.txt. Set eboss column to 0. Put their Populate ID #s in Levels.txt where needed. See the two new monster tutorials in the Keep's tutorial section for more info on monster modding. 12. Do you mean add unique items? If you just want more varieties of powers on rares, add some new rows to the bottom of magicprefix.txt and magicsuffix.txt. Rares pull their powers from those two files. 13. MOdify skills.txt and missiles.txt. Numerous threads have addressed this. Use the Search feature here in the forums. 14. Missiles.txt...same advice as in #13. 15. Cannot change maps really significantly...though you can alter size and appearance of dungeons and may be able to achieve other changes with isilweo's level editor. 16. NPC.txt file is the one to mod. The columns are pretty easy to decipher.

Minor suggestion, if you want us to take you by the hand and show how to do stuff step by step instead of reading the tutorials first like everybody else, you might want to tone down your voice down a little bit...------------------ So much bandwidth, so little time

If you don't understand the tutorials and the .txt file descriptions in the Resources section...you're either reading too quickly or more likely, it's the fact that English isn't your native language.  Some of them can be a little tricky...but a lot of what you want to do is explained pretty clearly in stuff here at the Keep, or in old threads in the forums. You can try extracting .txt files from mods to see how other modders did things...but the best way is to start fiddling with the files yourself. I modded the entire sorc skill tree long before most people had done extensive work with skills. I did it without a tutorial and with minimal resources to tell me what the columns even did. True, I have a ton of crashes and pains in my arse while doing this...but the end result was that I learned how to mod largely from that initially experience. No tutorial can substitute for simply looking at the files and fiddling with them. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer."

If you're not willing or able to read the tutorials, and you're not going to play around with the files yourself, it will be likely that we will eventually get tired of pulling you along the road to being able to do this on your own.------------------ 54x.

Or, you could ask someone who happens to speak your language as well. Met andere woorden, schroom niet te vragen, als je het maar vriendelijk doet ;-)------------------ So much bandwidth, so little time
