Modding D2 via text files doesn't work

[ubeogesh]

To reproduce

1. Make a simple D2 mod with some text file change, for example:

• Change data\global\excel\armor.txt file. Make some obvious change, for example change graphics for cap to use graphics of skull cap (in 2nd line, V column change value to skp)

2. In plugy.ini set up Param= -direct -txt
3. Start PlugY

Result:

The changes don't take effect. The game has recognized the command line - it has spawned *.bin files in the \excel\ folder; and I have checked game.exe in process explorer - it was started with with "-w -direct -txt" parameters; but the change that was made doesn't happen.

I have been looking into this and have found the following function is causing this issue. If I remark out where this function is called then txt files in \data\global\excel work. Looking at the code it looks like it was a work in progress.

`void Install_PlugYFiles()
{
static int isInstalled = false;
if (isInstalled) return;

log_msg("Patch Storm to found custom file. (PlugYFiles)\n");

// Try in Diablo II\PlugY\ if file not found
mem_seek R8(Storm,	192C6, 19296, 18677, 2CC69, 14259, 121E9, 28D89, 2DA79, 19369);//( (DWORD)D2Storm268 + V7(Storm, 01A8, 01A8, 01AB, 0429, 0429, 0429, 0000) );
memt_byte( version_D2Client == V114d ? 0x8D : 0xFF ,0x90); // NOP
memt_byte( version_D2Client == V114d ? 0x85 : 0x15 ,0xE8); // CALL
if (version_Storm == V114d) {
    MEMT_REF4(0xFFFFFEF8, caller_isModFile_114);
} else {
    MEMD_REF4(LeaveCriticalSection, version_Storm == V114d ? caller_isModFile_114 : version_Storm >= V111 ? caller_isModFile_111 : caller_isModFile);
}

log_msg("\n" );

isInstalled = true;

}`

I have fixed this ready for testing.

Now fixed on https://github.com/ChaosMarc/PlugY. @markm11 Thank you very much. I will create a new release with a precompiled binary very soon

I'm still experiencing this issue on 14.01

[ChaosMarc]

Please open an issue in my repo for that. Haxifix has nothing to do with 14.01

edit: and I just tested it. I have no problems loading my changes from data/global/excel:
