This is a short guide to show how to setup D2Loader and use its many options. D2Loader is a no-cd loader for Diablo 2 and Diablo 2 expansion, with lots of other functions built-in.
Step 1:
-Install Diablo2 and upgrade to 1.09D (Follow This Guide)
Step 2:
-Download D2Loader and extract it to your desktop. Then copy the D2Loader "Diablo II.exe" to your Diablo 2 directory.
--Additionally you can create a shortcut by right clicking the exe, and selecting "Create Shortcut"
Step 3:
-At this point you can edit the target line by right clicking and selecting properties
Target Line Parameters:
-The following below is a list of arguments that can be applied to the game at startup, doing so is done by placing the code after the target line: ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w -ns -lq). This is done on the shortcut you created of the D2Loader.
-w (window mode): Start the game in window mode
-ns (no sound): Run with no sound at all, useful when running multiple windows.
-nonotify (not notify error): If an error happens, this will make the game exit instead of showing a error box
-lq (low quality): decreases the quality of graphical aspects of the game, therefore speeding up the game which is useful when running multiple windows
-title : Changes the title of the window (Ex: -title "Diablo II")
-skiptobnet: (skip straight to the realm): Go to D2Region directly, just saves one mouse click :P
-sleepy : This is for older computers, it makes the window "sleep" when you minimize it. This fixes the "100% CPU Bug"
Step 4:
-Copy the files d2xmusic.mpq, and d2xvideo.mpq from your game cd (the d2x files will be on the expansion disc) to your Diablo 2 directory (You can download them here and here)
Step 5:
-Run "Diablo II.exe" to start the game
All credit goes to Onlyer, we would be without this hack if he did not crack this many years ago!
