You need the zonfire hero editor to work the items.

Extract he files you dl'd and put em in diablo II save folder

i extracted them to the save fodler and nothing happens, how do i do the characters??

have to use them on open bnet they won't work on closed

What exactly does elmy wants?
U just need to paste the file(s) tto the CORRECT d2 directory and open the directory with HE...make sure u dun go to the wrong folder...HE will open any .d2s files in that specifically selected folder...
