Er-- I feel dumb but..can someone help -_-;

Post by LunarLunatic » Fri Sep 26, 2003 8:09 pm

I've gotten any mod I've downloaded so far to work, and yet I remain a complete newbie in all fashions of the word. I downloaded this and extracted it to my desktop, but I can't seem to find any patch_d2.mpq .. and well I don't know how to "activate" the mod without it ^_^;; In fact, there's so many files here besides the normal four that I'm boggled and confused, and not even pie seems to be able to help me (And pie is almighty!) Sorry if this question has been asked before :( And if it hasn't I think I'll feel worse -.-

Greetz :) .

You need to extract all files to your Diablo II directory (Example: "C:\Program Files\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II\") and then read the following tutorial by Fusman on how to work with -direct -txt formatted mods.

Good luck :) .

Ok now i am really frustrated cause i screwed up and did something so this is the second time ive had to write this message. Ok i must be extremely stupid because i went to that site, found the tutorial, read it over and over, and did everything i could think of. I put the cryptforge files (after a long time) into a place i thought would work. Then first i tried adding -direct -txt to the property window which ofcourse didnt work. So then i changed the property window back and copied it, which without fail didnt work. Then i tried changing the start at line on the property window to where the cryptforge files were, which also didnt work. And so now i am starting completely over again. Will you please help me. Forgive me for my stupidness but i really am not gettin cryptforge to work and im determined to play it. (Im really frustrated right now :x )

To my knowledge, there won't be any way to get around the patch error situation.

CryptForge uses modded DLLs and, therefore, when you go to the Open Battle.net (Blizzard's Closed Realm isn't supported), it's gonna attempt to patch to 1.10 (Keep in mind that the currently released mod is only compatible with 1.09D).

If you're in need of a particular patch, you'll need to go to ftp.blizzard.com to download it.

For now, though, CryptForge's latest released version for 1.09D is only supported on TCP/IP and Single Player since going to open Battle.net will automatically attempt to patch the game.

ok, well i appreciate your help. No offense but i would have to agree with you on the fact that 1.09 has alot of bugs. Overall though its pretty cool. Ok, i hope that im not becoming to annoying (normally i become annoying very fast, natural talent) but from my understanding you could play as either diablo or baal too but when i go to play one player the only prime evil i can be is mephisto. Is there any reason for that. Once again i apologize for my annoyingness. Thanks again. :D

Yeap, 1.09D has a whole lot of bugs. Mainly, the reason for that is because it was a rushed release, put out on the net under pressure.

That's not intended to be the case with the 1.10 version although I will be releasing an ACT 1 demo for it very soon.
but from my understanding you could play as either diablo or baal too but when i go to play one player the only prime evil i can be is mephisto.
If Diablo and Baal aren't launching on your system, you may want to recheck your installation of the mod.

All contents from the downloaded Self-Extracting EXE file should be extracted to your Diablo II directory. You will need a properly setup -direct -txt shortcut to run the mod.

You also need Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction expansion installed with 1.09D.

You may have already looked at it. But, here's a link to the tutorial which explains how to setup a -direct -txt shortcut to operate with Direct format mods.
