ITS OUT


It again will need a full reinstall (im REALLY sorry!)
For the last time. As I solved the BIN compliation bug which means the TXT files are not needed any more

It uses EZ install again
with the setup.vbs file

here are install options generally:

1. extract all files to your desktop (or wherevere you want)
2. run SETUP.EXE, select your diablo 2 folder in the extract to field (its by default set to c:\program files\diablo ii\)

3. run SETUP.VBS, it will replace the dlls and make backups of the d2 dlls in case you want to play normal lod or another mod. It will also create a shortcut for you.

4. thats it, run the new shortcut and go party
