The Phrozen Keep

you cannot use notepad for code editing. You must use hexworkshop, ollydbg or XVI32 for code editing (you can find hexworkshop in the keep file center, and possibly one of the others)

EDIT: if you go into edit, you can delete a post from their.

microsoft offers a free excel viewer program (it is limited to viewing the files, but you CANNOT edit them, so it should be ok for your purpose)
you can find it here http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2 ... iewer.aspx
Although, this may not be the most recent version of it, but it should work.

i think the problem would be using "any,nor" since any means ANY item at all in the entire game, and some may have a problem being specified as normal, such as misc items. (i think) what you could do is create a cube recipe for weapons, a recipe for armor, and a recipe for misc items (that won't use...

When a monster is spawned, its level is set in stone.
although it would work for monsters that have yet to spawn.

Welcome to the keep :) for your first question, in treasureclassex.txt you need to find all the rows that have the words "champ" or "unique" in them, those are the treasure classes for champions and random uniques. then in the columns called "unique" "set" "rare" set them to a high number. 1024 = 10...

is it enabled in Monstats2.txt for your monster entry?

i do not think the Fallen AI can use missles or skills. To get it to work you'll have to give him an AI that can use skills.
A listing of all the AI's can be found in MonAI.txt, an also if you look through monstats.txt you can see which monsters use skills, and try to use their AI.

well, you obviously don't have the COF files, you need them for each animation. Read the extended animation tutorial to learn how to correctly edit them for your animations.

1.10 is a patch, if you cannot find a file in the patch_d2.mpq then try looking in D2exp.mpq, and if it is not their, then try D2data.mpq.

well, i have found it useful when i am making new entries in animdata.d2 (after it has been converted to a .txt file) to look for unused tokens, since it will sort it alphabeticaly.

but for general everyday Diablo 2 text modding, it's not very useful.

i got mixed up a bit... for item_nonclassskill, the parameters it takes, and what the mix/max fields do, and where they look are hardcoded, so it automatically knows where to look. if you put nova in the parameter field, it will look in skills.txt for a skill called Nova, you can use custom made ski...

this is a short explanation: first, you need to give griswold an AI that can use a spell, then scroll over to a column that says "skill1" and put "Poison Nova" in their, and A1 as the mode and put whatever skill level you think is good enough. you might also consider cloning the poison nova skill th...

things like, hitpoints, strength, energy, maxdamage/mindamage, and now item_nonclassskill are all hardcoded in their functionality. how they work is laid out in one of the dll's (my guess would be D2game.dll)

life leech does work, it is just reduced a bit more. and besides, it won't be noticable if you don't do very much damage.

yes, it is possible to add new DT1's for use in D2, although how to do it is still a mystery to me.

the 1.09 D2gfx.dll change still works in 1.10. their are nor problems in using it.
Although, i have not tested it. It should also work in 1.10s. If you doubt it does work, it does not hurt to try, just remember to back up your original D2gfx.dll.

You can check the animation plug-ins here.
Although some of the DCC plug-ins do not have the corrects offsets and may require manual editing.

each class has a different actual attack speed for each and every weapon. It's not just limited to assassin claws.

it's basically the same for icewind dale, which is around 200mhz, 32MB ram, a mouse, keyboard, soundcard.

well, i may have thought of another way, but it could cause problems, and may crash the game... but hey, that's what happens. in levels.txt their should be a column that say "town" or something, it has a "1" for each town, so just set that to "0" and you should be able to use all the attacks and spe...

no, it does not exist in 1.10, and probably will never exist.

also, Diabloclone is a new monster in 1.10, and it does exist. it just can't be activated in vanilla LoD yet, so just wait until 1.10 final comes out, and play ladder on the realms.

well, if they continue on past that... then they could make nightmare and hell able to boost your character upto level 99.

well, that ration idea is certainly unique, and i can think of a possible way to implement it (though i have NO clue if it would work) but if it did work, i'm not sure if it could deduct 1 everytime the next time period came around, or if it would constantly deduct it during that time period. And fo...

the quest related columns near the end of monstats.txt are used to disable the quest TC after that quest has been completed. The quest's and their corresponding numbers are listed somewhere on these forums.

right off the bat, it has no main menu's or anything. any menu's it has you need to access by key presses. Although the menu's it does have are very easy to navigate and understand. Also, it gives you quite alot of options to edit the map to be just how you want it. If you can invision it using the ...
