Sorry Brevan, I should've stated that I have indeed ran D2VidTest. Yeah, I found that filetree too but the link was dead
I'll look into D2SE.

| Post subject: | Windows 10 -- Can't get it to work. |
Used to play a LONG time ago, I want to play the solo version because I don't have a ton of time to play. Here are the steps I've tried, in many different orders, particularly the ones you're told to. Downloaded Diablo 2 1.12A from Blizzard. Installed D2 and LOD. Extracted LOD_110.rar content into the game folder. Extracted Hell_Unleashed12_Solo.rar into the game folder. Had to move the game folder to c:/users/myname/Diablo 2/ to get d2modsetup to run, which did work. This was a solution I found here on the forums because d2modsetup was erroring out until doing this. At this point, I would attempt to use Hellunleashed.bat and I would get a "Please insert your LOD disc" sort of error, so I downloaded the NewLoader.rar here: http://forum.arimyth.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1288 I followed these instructions to a T, including creating the shortcut and adding -direct -txt to the end of it. I'm familiar with this sort of process from hosting my own servers for other PC games. When this still didn't work (I'd get the "busy" mouse icon for 5 seconds when attempting to launch via the shortcut then nothing), I followed the instructions for hexediting d2gfx.dll in the post further down. The no cd launcher still will not work. I've even tried mounting an ISO of the expansion disc, it still causes hellunleashed.bat to ask for the disc. I can't think of anything else and I REALLY want to play again. Thanks in advance. |

It sounds like there might be a couple issues to resolve. For the issue where the mouse cursor shows "busy", and then nothing happens, it sounds like maybe you forgot to set Compatibility Mode (for WinXP or similar). That would need to be re-done whenever you move the folder around your computer. You could try running the VidTest.exe program too. For the issue about the CD, I'm not too sure about a quick fix. In the HU forum there used to be a complete filetree download for folks experiencing troubles with their installation, but I see that option was removed at some point. You could try using D2SE later, that tends to solve quite a few install issues (seems to work a bit better with newer operating systems, has a no-cd option (might require that you copy some of the .mpq files from the discs to the install folder first), etc). |

I tried to get my edit done in time, but the main thing to consider was Compatibilty Mode. |

However.. there is no option for Hell Unleashed, just a ton of Vanilla stuff. I'm sure its something simple, but how do I get hell unleashed in this list? |

Quick update, I tried putting the entire Hell Unleashed 1.2 Solo folder into the mods folder. Do you have to have a D2SE specific version of HU for this to work? |

Brevan, I just wanted to say that you are amazing and I can't thank you enough. I found an .ini file that you had created back in the day here viewtopic.php?f=8&t=89 Added that to the Hell Unleashed folder in the Mods area and its working PERFECT! I wish this entire post could be stickied for anyone in the future that wants the single player experience. You are awesome man. Thank you so very very much. |

No problem, your post was made while I was getting the following ready (so I'm not revising the tenses of words below) - Note that the D2SE setup file I've linked to here was created a few minutes ago, with a few touches not in that older one (although online I overwrote that older one, so I'm not sure which you've got). Don't forget to collect the webpages. D2SE needs a filled-out "D2SE_SETUP.ini" file for each mod, I happen to have one already filled out for HUv1.21z. Since you haven't been around for a while, you might want some webpages detailing v1.21's stuff. D2SE will expect to see the following files in the MODS/HUv1.21/ folder: (some might not be needed, but I've got it running off of a flash drive with these files) CharStart.dll D2Client.dll D2Common.dll D2Game.dll D2Mod.dll ExtLvl.dll GemFix.dll LevelFX.dll LvlReq.dll MercDesc.dll MercMod.dll NewTxt.dll Portal.dll Utility.dll D2Mod.ini D2SE_SETUP.INI patch_d2.mpq If you're curious, in that drive's D2 folder, I've got these files (no emphasis meant by capitalization): D2SE/ (holds some of the .dll and similar files for each D2 core) MODS/ (holds your mods, each in its own folder) D2SE.exe D2VidTst.exe Diablo II.exe Game.exe glide-init.exe (I think this is the glide test run by D2SE) unins000.exe (uninstalls D2SE I think) binkw32.dll glide3x.dll ijl11.dll SmackW32.dll D2SE.ini bncache.dat default.key D2.LNG d2char.mpq d2data.mpq d2exp.mpq d2music.mpq d2sfx.mpq d2speech.mpq d2video.mpq D2XMUSIC.MPQ d2xtalk.mpq D2XVIDEO.MPQ |
