(I know this topic is long dead, but I couldn't find the answer online)

Patch_D2.mpq (specifically "patch_d2.mpq") appears to be referred to by two DLLs (1.13d):

• D2Win.dll
• D2Lang.dll

It appears to be null terminated giving it a minimum length of 1 and a maximum length of 15 in both DLLs.

You can change the value pretty easily if you know how to edit binary files.

If you use D2SE simply not only you can read it on demand, but also specify extend MPQs to read.

如果你使用D2SE的话不仅能决定是否读取，而且还能指定载入MPQ的名称。
