Well, what is the error message when you run the game? In the install.txt, it should say this if you edited only the setitems.txt:O patch_d2.mpq A setitems.txt data\global\excel\setitems.txt A setitems.bin data\global\excel\setitems.bin C patch_d2.mpq ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

You need to edit the tbl if you want your set to have a name but lack of a name will not cause the game to crash. Run the game in a window and tell us the error.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

You insert the files in your modded patch_d2.mpq, then you overwrite your actual patch_d2.mpq in your D2 directory. Don't forget to make a backup somewhere of patch_d2.mpq before. Then, run in -direct -txt method and it should work.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

That error can be pretty much anything. Did you generate the bin files and pack them in the mpq?------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

...make a batch file which has this:mpq2k s install.txt Actually, put the name of your txt file(that you added all those commands like 0 patch_d2.mpq, A misc.txt, etc where I put install.txt). Then run your batch file. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hey I'm only sixteen years old you know...anyways, did you type it properly. Again, type this in your batch file:mpq2k s install.txt Then in your install.txt, you had to type in: O patch_d2.mpq A setitems.txt data\global\excel\setitems.txt A setitems.bin data\global\excel\setitems.bin C patch_d2.mpq ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

okay, I double clicked on the install.bat and it made a patch_d2 file, do I replace the old patch_d2 file with this one, and then replace the patch_d2.mpq with this one?------------------ Jonathan S. Bowler
