Ok recently I installed a different mod. In order to do this I was told I'd have to do a fresh unintall/install of D2. I did this, and installed the other mod. My problem is, I cannot seem to get Hu properly reinstalled now. I really hope I can get some help, here is what I did.
I copied the contents of my diablo 2 folder inside another folder on my desktop named "Diablo 2 AM" and left the empty folder where it was. I installed the old, old d2 discs, and everything was installed into the empty diablo 2 folder. So far so good.
I already had a copy of the 1.21 full rar, and the 1.21z update in another folder. But first I downloaded the 2 lod files from
http://www.arimyth.com/hell.htmOne of the files is called LOD110.rar and the other is the LOD110.exe. I extracted the lod rar into the diablo 2 folder and hit "yes" to replace all. Then I ran the lod.110.exe but it said, "An error has occured while preparing the patch, the problem can commonly be corrected by reinstalling the game and trying the update again." I did this three times and the same error keeps occurring. When I hit the "details" tab on the error box it says:
"ERROR: 'C:\Program Files\Diablo II\d2exp.mpq' does not exist
The system cannot find the file specified. I have no idea why this happens.
If this is any help I am using the lod.iso and not the disc. The only hard discs I have are of the old diablo 2, pre LOD, pre expansion. Any suggestions?
ps. I went ahead and extraced the full1.21 HU edition as well as the small 1.21z file, even though I still am not getting past the error when I run the lod.110.exe file. When I do this, it says "insert play disc". But the iso is open and running, the lod image is also mounted.
