Original Message: It works the first time without the ini.
Without the ini file, ski_edit will look for the original skill block inside the exe. So you need to be using the unmodified exe (from a fresh install, from a patch, or just having restored the skills to their original settings). Then it'll find the skill block and make a new ini file. Once you start modding with ski_edit, don't delete the ini, or ski_edit won't be able to figure out where the skill block is. Here's a shortcut, though: Make your own ski_edit [dot] ini file. If you have Greyface's patch installed, the ini file should consist of just the line "offset=972824" (no quotes). The ini for the plain English 1.1 version (with or without Mok's patch) would instead be "offset=977040". And always back up your original exe file before modifying it. BV

Once you start modding with ski_edit, *don't* delete the ini, or ski_edit won't be able to figure out where the skill block is.
