[1.10] Allways -direct Param

[Lurix]

How would I edit the game files so when you start the game it's using by default the param -direct?
I know Plugy got's such an option, but I don't wanna use it since it's confilicting with some of mymod files.

So if Plugy can do it, there must be some way it's achieved by editing the game files, either.
Thanks in advance

D2SE has this function too

you can force -direct or -txt in the D2SE_setup.ini

Using Plugy, or this - doesn't make difference.
I wanna do t by editing the game's dll's if it's possible.

to do this (without altering game.exe), you need to make fog.#10117 always return TRUE (note: this makes the game check the HDD for all mpq's).

then you need to make storm.#263 always set the global to true:

it won't, all this editi does is for the mpq's to be loaded from the HDD
