Below are links to download HUv2.0. Each package includes the core files, change log and webpages with lots of item information. Once you've got your package:

  1. D2SE users should paste these files over the old files in their 1.9 folder or make a new HUv2.0 folder in their Mods folder, decompress their package into it, and start D2SE.
  2. Non-D2SE users should decompress their package into their Diablo2:LoD v1.10 folder, then run d2modsetup.bat, and then start D2.
  3. All users should double check that programs are being run with administrator privileges, compatibility for WinXP (or similar), etc. Don't be afraid to post or read in TechSupport if you're running into trouble.
  4. Review the webpages, they have a lot of information describing Uniques, Sets, Cube Recipes, White Weapons and Armor, Runewords, Gems and Runes, Boss stats, Monster properties (mostly the spells they counter-attack with), etc. If you want to use the javascript features of the Prefix and Suffix pages, then I don't recommend Chrome because the filter button will not collapse the table rows. If you have to use Chrome, then after filtering use the search feature to look for "Group", since that will appear only on the visible rows and let you jump quickly through a long list with lots of blank area.

NewMusic (380MB) vs OldMusic (130MB)
Once upon a time, Soulmancer introduced some new music for boss fights and some town themes. Those new pieces of music are included in the NewMusic version, but note that these nearly triple the size of the download. If you choose OldMusic, then you'll still have the traditional Diablo2 music. Note that for some people, Diablo2 has a bug where it will mute your music volume without telling you, so if you have no music at all, then check your Options screen first. The OldMusic packages are named with "NoMusic" because they do not contain a Music folder (so D2 will use it's own). The new music only comes with HighResolution.


HighResolution vs NormResolution
NormResolution supports up to 800x600 while HighResolution (I think) supports 1024x768. The game screen radius at HighResolution is about 15% more than at NormalResolution. Most skills and effects were designed with NormalResolution in mind (their radius might seem painfully small on HighRes), but HighResolution has the advantage that you'll see monsters slightly earlier than Normal. This is the most arbitrary choice, pick one and have fun. The new music only comes with HighResolution.

Also DuFF answered me and together with the reset I'll be joining the hosting crew :-)

I can run single player just fine, but when I try to connect to multiplayer it tells me that it is "unable to properly identify my application version", whatd I do wrong?

There is also a folder tree extra in the patch mpq. I assume this was for testing, It contains all the text files and bin files which are seemingly just duplicates of the one that will be read by the game.

I just spot checked a few lines in the crafting file. It looked the same. Did anything get changed here, before I go through it all in earnest?

Not sure where to post this, but wasn't the Werewolf supposed to receive more AR, since Bear gets an innate +maxlife% bonus?

On my game Werewolf and Werebear both have +48% attack rating at lv 1.

Also, was Maul given the same AoE treatment as Feral Rage? Only Feral Rage has the Area Attack listed in the tooltip.

Werewolf gets godlike fhr and way better fbr than bear and reaches low frame attacks with fury easier than bear does with maul.

Maul is for single target, feral is for aoe.

magic arrow skill description says: 1 missile per 4 base level.
From that I would assume that: level 1-3 1 arrow; 4-7 2 arrows 8-11 3 arrows; 12-15 4 arrows; 16-19 5 arrows; and at 20 6 arrows.

I maxed it but only get 3 arrows :?:

Do you want 6 arrows at 20 hard points or is the skill as intended and the description wrong?

Looks like there are no etheral bows and crossbows anymore. Did you miss to mention that in the patch notes?
