Zonfire's Editor
Missing files
If you get a Missing files error with Zonfire's Editor, download his installation pack.

With all the problems that people have been having with the 6 "missing" Operating System files that are needed to run VB6 applications, like Hero Editor, I have written a "program" that will automatically install these 6 files, as needed, etc.

Download the ZIP file (2,200kb) UNZIP it. There should be three files ("setup.lst", "setup.exe", "OS Setup.CAB"). Run (double click) the"setup.exe" file, and follow the directions. When it finishes, you should be able to run Hero Editor.

Diablo II
Bad Dead bodies or Bad Inventory Data
Means you have some item with invalid Attributes

I'm having trouble with D2. I've checked for the invalid attributes multiple times. When I start a game in Diablo II (LOD), it repeatedly says Bad Inventory Data. Is there anything I can do in order for it to work?!

1. Create a new character... kill a few monsters... make sure you have gold in your stash and on your person, and at least one item in your stash.
Add an item from your editor.... Save... Open in D2....
Exit D2.... Open in your editor... Add an attribute.... Save... Open in D2....
Repeat as necessary.

2. To fix a char.... backup, backup, backup....
Open in your editor.... Save all items to item files (.d2i)
Delete all rares and uniques.... Save and Exit...
Try to open in D2....
If you still get the error, Open in your editor, delete one item... Save and Exit...
Try to open in D2...
Repeat as necessary.
When you identify the bad item(s) reload the good ones from your saved .d2i files.

Generic Bad File
Means you have too many hacked items,
Diablo can only handle about 256 attributes total
so if you have 15 items with 20 attributes each, you have too many.

Diablo Freezes
Diablo freezes for a number of reasons. Especially with characters over level 99.
Some of the "Chance to cast.... on hit" attributes cause freezing. Especially if you have more than one.

DIVIDE_BY_ZERO
You may have a negative number for faster walk/attack/block/cast/hit recovery? If so, then try a different one, If negatives dont work try alot of positives.

ptbuffer->nlegnth
It means you are trying to kill monsters with a high level char
