well, I tried it and it seems to work! I made a GRIEF axe and the stats
look ok.

Anyhow, after switching back to the original patch_d2.mpq file, the GRIEF
axe went POOF..

So, I guess it also won't work on open b-net.

So, SP players, will you use this mod? If no, why not? Anybody got an idea
how stable and reliable these mods/patches are?

Regards,

Oliver

There's a problem that causes a crash of the german version when you point
on an item that provides an aura when equipped. I guess the aurafix fixes
that.

IIRC you can play with mods on open bnet, so you could give it a try.
I remember several people there asking for games with a specific mod
to be opened.

I don't care too much about open bnet, just need it to work in TCP/IP games
for rushing chars on my one PC.

Anyhow, there aren't too many runewords in there I could afford, so I might
just skip it for good..

Oliver

I'd say a "VEX" is pretty impressive (I NEVER got one of those,
i'll have to admit :-( )
That should be useful for quite a few RWs
