Installation instructions :

Copy all files from .7z archive to your main Diablo II - Lord of Destruction directory,
you don't need to install any patches for the mod to function properly.

VC Runtime 140 is required:
Aka.ms

Preferred graphic mode is 3dfx, it is needed for the functioning of color mod. If you have new Blizzard D2 installers, first do vidtest (d2vidtst.exe and glide-init.exe included) and make shortcut from "game.exe" and add this line at the end of the target path: " -3dfx" without quotes.

Direct draw mode offers additional changeable shaders (can be configured in ddraw.ini), but this mode is not fully compatible with color mod. To get Direct draw mode add this line at the end of the target path: " -ddraw" without quotes.

To get windowed software mode add " -w" (or if you want to get 3dfx windowed mode set: " -3dfx" and set "windowed mode" in parameter section in glide-init.exe)

IMPORTANT :
-Mod works properly only with the official English Diablo II release
-The game starts and runs without any issues from "Game.exe"
-If you are Windows 10 user, you may need to set administrator privilages for "Diablo II.exe" and "Game.exe"

(d2xmusic.mpq and d2xvideo.mpq are included for old installers that requires LoD cd/iso to work)
