You need to make a subdirectory (folder) in your Diablo II directory named "data" and one in that named "global" and another inside that named "excel". When you edit your txts and pack them into the MPQ you put them in the excel folder before you make the bins. If you have no idea what i'm talking about I suggest you read the tutorials here at the keep because you sound pretty clueless.C:\Program Files\DiabloII\Data\Global\Excel ------------------ Softcore's for wussies.

The previous poster just explained that. Please read slower.You Diablo 2 folder is on your C: drive (most likely) and specifically inside a folder on your C drive called Program Files. Inside your Diablo 2 folder, you create a folder called data. Inside that data folder, you create another new folder and name it global. Inside the global folder you make a new folder called excel. That is how you get: C\Program Files\Diablo 2\global\excel\ A subdirectory in essence is nothing more than a folder inside another folder. As you put folders inside folders inside folders, you create what is called a directory tree...a set of subdirectories all descending from a single main directory...the main folder. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

It's nothing personal against Carnage from my direction. But he was spamming the forums with multiple thread about not being able to find the .tbl files the other day and his response here had the distinct flavor of someone who didn't read the response that was provided by Juggernaught.I didn't mean to sound harsh in my post, and if I've made Carnage feel uncomfortable, my apologies...but there have been a lot of people in the past several days who aren't really paying attention when people give them help...and who aren't even bothering to read the tutorials...and it's kind of frayed my nerves.  I like to help, you know...but when people don't seem to be listening, I can get kinda peeved. Again, my apologies.  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

Maybe we should have an intro to the tutorials page saying: "Please read these tutorials very carefully, because they will answer basic questions and prevent you from driving other modders insane with pleas for help."------------------ 54x.

Unfortunately, there will always be people who won't even think to look for tutorials, much less read them.Part of the problem, I think, is people who are directed to the forums by other people or through Web searching...who haven't yet figured out it is part of a larger site (Phrozen Keep). Also, a lot of people don't read older threads...either because they lack time or lack the will to do so. So, there are some semi-legitimate reasons why people might ask a basic question...not realizing that it's driving us nuts.  So, it will always be an issue. Believe me, after all the time I've been with the Keep, one thing is clear: People will always ask basic questions...not matter how much you try to "head them off at the pass."  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

LOL. Btw guys, the next time someone asks how to make a directory.....you might want to advice them to: -> rightclick in the windows -> new -> folder -> change the name to what you need....You guys need some help answering questions? Up until now I worked in techsupport. I might start missing the helpless ***cough*** lack of knowledge... ------------------ So much bandwidth, so little time

Tech support question #1:Have you turned your computer on? Tech support question #2: Is it plugged in? Tech support question #3: Are you sure you're not trying to boot up your microwave oven by mistake, sir (or madam)?  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.
