How to make an unique small charm and how to make a npc sell it! 1.10 and 1.11lod
You need these tools:
MPQView v1.1 beta
D2Excel v1.0
AFJ_tbl_Edit_0.52b
D2 modders is also an excellent alternative
Now use MPQView to extract these 4 files:
ItemTypes.txt
misc.txt
UniqueItems.txt
expansionstring.tbl
Make a data folder in your diablo2 directory inside datafolder make a folder called global and a folder called local
In global folder make a folder called excel
In local folder make a folder called Lng , in Lng folder make a folder called ENG
Move the txt files into data-global-excel
Move the tbl file to the data-local Lng-ENG folder.
Open ItemTypes.txt in D2Excel, right click to ad a new row at the bottom: Scroll down to small charm row (think its row 34) copy the row and paste it in the new row at the bottom of the page. Now we only need to edit code column give it a new 4 letter code (i put mgde in code column) now save itemtypes.txt.
Now open Misc.txt and again right click to ad a new row at the bottom: Scroll down to Charm Small row (think its row 37) copy the row and paste it in the new row at the bottom of the page, now scroll right to the code column and give it a new 3 letter code (i put cm4 in code column) scroll right again to the type column here u put the code from itemtypes.txt, in my case i put mgde in type column. Continue rightscrolling to unique column where u put 1 ,then scroll to AkaraMin and Max columns and put 1 in both. then finally scroll al the way to the right to Permstoreitem column and put 1 .
Save misc.txt.
Open UniqueItems.txt right click to ad a new row at the bottom: Scroll down to Annihilus row (think its row 382) copy the row and paste it in the new row at the bottom of the page.
Edit the following columns:
index : put the name u want for the charm, i put Izual here
nolimit : put 1 here, 1 means this item can spawn many times in same game.
lvl :put1 here (this column controls the level of the monster that can drop the charm)
lvl req : this column tells what level the character must be to use the charm, i put 1 here.
Code : The code from misc.txt , i put cm4 here
Carry1 : delete the entry ( 1 means u can only carry 1)
Flippyfile : delete the entry
invfile : delete the entry
Prop, par1 min1 max1: these columns are the magical properties of the charm, i suggest u look at Kingpin's Magical Code Master List (you can find it at the Phrozen keeps Knowledgebase).
When your done with prop columns svae and exit.
Now the item needs a name, so open expansionstring.tbl with AFJ_tbl_Edit_0.52b ad string from uniqueitemn.txt in my caze Izual and in right screen area Izual. save and exit.
Start a game in -direct-txt mode and go to Akara to bye your charm
Tip : How to run the game in -direct.txt mode
Make a copy of your Diablo2 icon, then right click on the icon and click properties and change the DII shortcut to add -direct -txt
It should look like this "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -direct-txt

I have a question Where do i find the files that you said to extract
ItemTypes.txt
misc.txt
UniqueItems.txt
expansionstring.tbl
I can not find them and I also cant find "D2Excel v1.0" Please help me Thanks
the txt files are in patch_d2.mpq and expansionstring.tbl is in d2exp.mpq
For modding tools go to www.d2mods.com
Wait, wait ,wait got another problem ! i Tried the different .mpq in diablo II lod folder and found all the txt files and sh!t i was looking for. i found it in d2exp.mpq but when i did all you said in the turtorial and opened Diablo II LOD through the shortcut with -direct-txt and i just got an error when i was trying to start singleplayer. This sh!t is starting to annoy me :(
Where is annihilus i can't find it o.O
And the only thing i find in patch_d2.mpq is .dc6, .xxx and .wav files :O
Hello!
First to say that I am Bulgarian and i don't speak very good english.
I did everything that you wrote but when i go to Akara the charm is not there ...
I play a Diablo II v1.10 LoD mod (EFTA Crusade). I think it is not because the mod, because i make other changes in patch_d2.mpq and they work.
Cant find the ItemTypes.txt but i can find everything else O.o
