ok im a noob when it comes to modding.
i posted a question about a mod in general descusion but no answer yet.

anyways.

my problem is im trying to make a mod that
improves drops for uniques and rares while
also trying to change some skills and monsters. this is my first mod and im stuck.
i d/l the necesary tools and ive read the toutoriels on what i need to do. when trying to use mpq veiw and i open the
d2data.mpq file but when i do it freezes my whole comp. and its annoying.
ive tried to reinstall d2 and retry d/l the mpq viewer tool but i keep getting my comp frozen. any one know why i can do to fix this??

Now ... Im not sure about that but i have had a prob with MPQveiwer where it wont open an MPQ i will try to write down the error it gives me but it says its about STORM.dll
if someone could help me up with this i could start modding again...then i could help you out there...but i cant do any thing with my tools right now so...one thought tho your comp might be 2 slow... but it would have to be very iffy on the prossessor to do that...

no its not a prob with the comp.
i have a 1.8 ghz 248 mgs ram
with a nvidia geforce 2 30 gig
bout to get a ram chip.

so i know its not the comp.
i think we have the same prob.
i can start mpqview but it wont open
an mpq of any sorts. if i can get past
this part then the only thing i would need
help on is getting to actually start messing with the txt files for the items and monster.
the hard parrt i think for me is going to be
with charcater skills and balanceing them out with everything.
if someone could just help us out with the prob. with mpqview that would be nice.

thanks for idea anyways jason.

yea i also freeze when opening patch_d2.mpq.
its wierd cause i have tried this before only to run into personal problems and had to quit. well i had to end up reinstalling everything due to a wierd lightning strike that came through the window and hit my comp and the tv. well not just reinstalling but getting new parts but anyways.

what it dose when it freezes it will open up the file select screen and ill pick either the patch file or the data txt file and click open.
when i do it freezes the program and even ctl/alt/del wont get rid of it. i have to restart cause after 5 min the whole comp. is running slow for some odd reason.

yea i had to get a whole new board and everything thats when i upgraded what i had. so everything is new and updated.
but im 100% sure that the new parts dont have anything to do with this.

i was actually surprised when i came home and the house wasnt burnt to the ground.
other then not haveing a comp for a few weeks i was more ****ed about not haveing cable for a full moth due to the damn cable company's slow a****.
