Does not meet the parameter

Post by Boge42 » Wed Sep 29, 2021 2:31 am

I've recently installed PlugY, PD2, D2DX, and Basemod. Everything is working great. However, I have some custom recipes I'd love to add to my experience. From what I understand, when you're using the data folder with .txt files, they ignore the .mpq file. So I either need to rip all the PD2 mpq files and run with a date folder instead, or I need to modify the recipes in the mpq file and recompile it.

I thought I was doing it okay with MPQeditor. I can extract the files. They're all File00000000.xxx files, but editable with notepad. I'll add my recipes to that file and try to add it to the mpq and I get the "Doesn't meet parameter" message. Even if I just extract the files from the mpq and try to create a new mpq without modifying anything, I get that same message.

I asked on the PD2 discord channel and they referred me to here.

Help please?

EDIT: I got the files extracted to the data folder. When I try to add recipes from my old file, I get an unhandled exception error when trying to log in with a character. If I use just my old files for the recipes, the recipes work, but the PD2 ones don't. I'd have to juggle between them to get the best of both worlds unless I can figure out how to merge them.
