Cube recipe editing in 1.13c

[ouapapaladam]

Hi !

I'm playing single player 1.13c with plugy and i would like to change some cube recipes(especially rune ones).
I open the d2data.mpq and find no cubemain.txt in it.

Is it normal ?
Can someone explain me where to find and how to edit this file please ?

Thx

These are the files from 1.11, they should be mostly up to date regarding cube stuff, the only updates since then have been mostly to levels.txt monstats.txt and misc.txt.

You should be good to use the cubmain from this zip.

So i should make a new d2data.mpq with those files ?

no because CubeMain.txt is in Patch_D2.mpq. Have a look there.

i see .xxx files only in patch_D2.mpq

[ouapapaladam]

Ah ok nvm i found it it's File00000010.xxx Thx for the help !

Grab an mpq "list file" in the keeps file center and it wont display
File00000010.xxx.. anymore, instead it will display CubeMain.txt

[ouapapaladam]

it works ! you're so pro man !

Well sorry to abuse tour time ... but i can edit the code but it seems not effective in game.
Atm i have this in cubemain.txt :

2 rune 01 -> rune 02 1 100 2 "r01,qty=2" r02

I want to make a eld from 2 el only instead of 3 as you see but doesn't work in game.

The recipe looks fine if you have the values in the right fields.

Did you put a 0 for EOL at the end of line?
Did you run the game with -direct -txt at startup?
Does the old cube recipe for El to Eld still exist above the new one you added?

Didn't see anyone else mention it but delete your .bin files in the same folders as your .txt files and don't have it open in excel when you start up the game. I've chased problems for no reason a few times when I forget one of those simple things.

[ouapapaladam]

thanks for your answer guyz,

Yes there is a 0 at the end of the line, i didn't add this code i just changed old one and i tried with -direct -txt but still not work

I don't find the bin files you're talkink about it's in the .mpq ?

The .bin files will be generated next to the .txt files when u run the game in -direct -txt mode.

Okey i see, when i delete them i have Unhandled Exception : Access violation(c0000005)

Well, do they get regenerated when u delete them and start the game with -direct -txt? If not, it seems like some of the files u edited is corrupt.

if the bin file was not generated in InstallPath\data\global\excel\ then how did you setup your "-direct -txt " option?
