Frustrating problems modding with Windows 8.1
Posted: Thu Nov 14, 2013 10:15 pm
I recently got a new computer and it came with windows 8 (upgraded to 8.1). However, I am having strange problems modding. I am using direct txt
The first thing I did was mess around with a new UI, I didn't like it so I deleted it. However, it still shows up. I even replaced the one in the data directory with the original, but the one I made is still there!
Next, when I try and make a backup of my Data folder, copying it to any other location gives the original version of all the files, not my modified ones. For example, my copied skill.txt has all the original entries, not my changes. However, the skills.txt in my D2 directory does have my changes.
Now my most frustrating thing just happened. I had edited a few other files (charstats, properties, ect). When I came back to it later they were all gone! BUT, when I open D2 the changes I made are still there!
I don't know why this stuff is happening but its making modding impossible, and my google searches are not giving me any ideas
