Changing Splash screen version text
Just want to know how to edit the splash screens version text. I assume it's somewhere in patch.mpq since it's updated with every patch but can't find it for the life of me. thanks.

It actually requires code editing.

I see. How difficult are we talking and could you point me directions?

Re: Changing Splash screen version text
its actually rather easy to find with a text search inside D2Launch, you just don't have much space; I'd recommend re purposing an exception string if you plan to make it longer.

Re: Changing Splash screen version text
I get what your saying but that's beyond me atm. Don't want to ask how to hardcode here since I've seen heaps of guides on the site about how to do it already. I'll go read up on them, thanks
Edit Actually wouldn't it be easier to change the splash screen image? Might do that lol

So done lots of what I wanted with my mod now, how do I go about learning how to code edit? The "Diablo II Code Editing Tutorial" in the knowledge base links out to a site that doesn't work anymore.

Re: Changing Splash screen version text
This is pretty easy to do as stated, and if it is the only code edit you're looking for, it may be easier to just ask. The version you're running and the updated text would help with that.
If you want to learn, YouTube has become an amazing resource for this now as well checking out the discord.
Best of luck!

Re: Changing Splash screen version text
PlugY has the option to change the Version-Text, as far as I know.
Re: Changing Splash screen version text
Version I'm running is 1.13c.
I did do as suggested and run a text search for a load of values like: 1.13, 13, 1(wildcard)13, ver and a hex search for 31 33 and still couldn't find it?
PlugYs option is for changing its ovn version text on the right side of the splash screen not the vanilla patch version on the left.
Edit: [Solved] search for the string "v %d.%02d" and replace it with whatever you want, do note as mentioned above there is not much room.

Re: Changing Splash screen version text
just for completeness, plugy has the desired option:
[MAIN SCREEN]
ActiveVersionTextChange=1
VersionText=
ColorOfVersionText=0
[MAIN SCREEN]
ActiveVersionTextChange=1

ColorOfVersionText=0
