i dont know what you're saying lol
i dont care if i get rares, as long as some sets and uniques drop
just as long as EVERYTHING in blood moor and anywhere else can drop the items and the items have same ilvl
you just said "skip the step" but which step are you talking about? im really a nub and i really wanna learn so hopefully you can tell me some more info :)

With skip the step I meant simply don't set the qlvl of all the uniques to 1 and leave it unchanged. You won't get many unique items in the blood moor though, the monsters there are too low level for it, you'll get rares there.

And that was just unneeded spam, which is as bad as double or triple posting. Your need to change tcs to get alot of runes, as for sets, cause your always rolling uniques the chance for set is never rolled

Hi there!

I´ve got a slight problem with the drop mod.
I did everything like it was said in the first post.
I created the \Diablo II\Testmod\Data\Global\Excel Folder, extracted the TreasureclassEx.txt there and edited it.
Then I started the game with the shortcut I created.

Normally it should work now but nether I get uniques nor get I any other items. The monsters just don´t drop anything. Not even gold.

What did I do wrong?

So I followed the steps only to make the boss mod part. I started up the game and tried to start up one of my characters but it tells me that it can't load because of 'bad inventory'. This has only occurred when I modded the level's txt and monster txt. Don't know whats going on, all the bosses have their rarity and iSpawn set at 1 and filled the respective fields in levels.txt in correctly. Any help or am I doing something wrong? I see the game make the bin files as well, so thats good.

P.S. I am running windows 7 if that makes any difference.

If you haven't figured this out yet, you can also get that message if you have 1 character class with more skills than another. Which has nothing to do with anything inventory or item related and can be hard to trace out if you are new.

-Countess is line 8 in the SuperUniques.txt

Should we do what we're good at or get good at what we do?

I thank the Nefarius for this short and concise tutorial and making this so easy to understand... hope to see more tutorials like this one. =)

Does anybody know how to make modding compatible with TCP/IP game and with Plugy 10.0?

Modding is compatible with TCP/IP games as long as everyone is running the same modded version of the game.

PlugY 10.0 does not work with v1.13d, only with v1.13c or earlier.

I have LOD 1.13c installed.. I made a mod following the tutorial but it doesn't seem to work with plugy. how do I put the two mods togetheR?

edit: Oh nvm I got it figured out. All I had to do was copy the files from Mod PlugY folder into my own mod folder and then make my plugy run from the mod directory.
