Send me a PM with your request, I will try to be of some help.....

I didn't know,
thanks for the info.

I hope the following may be useful:

Installation instructions:
1)Downgrade (or upgrade) to a fresh 1.13c patch of LoD. You will find it, for example, at Plugy.free.fr
2) Replace D2Client.dll, D2Common.dll, D2Game.dll, d2data.mpq, d2exp.mpq, d2speech.mpq and patch_d2.mpq files of the vanilla game 1.13c inside the Diablo II folder with those of the Stra-d2Mod. It works for sure with the English version, not tested with other languages.
3) install PlugY version 14.03 (http://plugy.free.fr/en/index.html);
4) replace the plugy.ini INSIDE the Mod PlugY folder with the one of Stra-D2Mod folder.
5) replace statsiterface.txt located in .....Diablo II\Mod PlugY\PlugY folder with the one of Stra-D2Mod folder
6) make a shortcut of PlugY.exe which is inside the Mod PlugY folder on your desktop
7) Use the latter shortcut to launch the mod and enjoy.

What's wrong? Please explain the issue encountered

Version 1.23 coming in few days

Hi Andsimo,
you were right patch_d2.mpq archive was too large!
I have just released a compressed patch_d2.mpq qrchive (version 1.21b) of my mod Stra-D2Mod.

Thanks!

Dear Endsimo, as regards point 2, you are right there was an issue with compacting the archive. It will be released a correct compressed version in the next few hours.

1.Are you sure that you are using the d2data.mpq from Stra-D2mod? Be sure you are using a clean version of Diablo LoD 1.13c and replace the original files with those of Stra-D2mod.
2. I don't know exactly why the size of patch_d2.mpq is so large.....but it is ok as is.

Version 1.20 just released.

In few days version 1.20 will be available

In few days version 1.20 will be available.

Hi,
what do you mean?
I just verified that for each java or bolt used, the quantity of java and bolts decreases by one accordingly.

Could you kindly explain better the issue experienced?

I don't suggest to use the mod via D2SE.I didn't figure out yet how to properly launch the mod via D2SE with the latest version of PlugY (14.02). So I would go by using plugY only.

Try to replace your d2data.mpq file with that provided with the mod.

Hi petri53.
"An evil force" text generally appears when the d2data.mpq file is not updated. Are you using d2data.mpq provided with the mod?

Disabling shared stash was my choice. However, you can modify this option in the plugY.ini that you have download from my mod. Just click on it and it will open as a text file. Go to the shared stash row and replace 0 with 1. That's all

Dear Paul, i am glad that now the mod works fine.

As regards your suggestions, i think that bigger inventory and allowing Mercenary to wear additional stuffs (amulet, rings and so on) would significantly alter the mechanic of the game making it much more easy. This is beyond the scope of the Mod but thank you anyway for your suggestions.

As stated in the file description this mod is based on 1.13C patch files. Thus, many features may be not available on other patches such as 1.14D.

Dear Paul,
I am sorry for the troubleshooting you have encountered.
I think that the uploaded files are good.

I will try to help you by reporting below the installation instructions.

1) Be sure that you have installed a not corrupted copy of diablo2 LOD of Destruction patch version 1.13c (best option). Re-install if needed.

2) Install PLUGY version 11.02. You will find it at Plugy.free.fr
(You could also download patch 1.13c from the above site)

3) Replace d2data.mpq, d2exp.MPQ, D2client.dll and D2Game.dll files inside your Diablo II folder with the ones provided with Stra-D2Mod (D2client.ddl and D2Game.dll are inside the folder denoted as "D2Game.dll for 1.13c"). It works for sure with the English version, not tested with other languages.

4) copy the “data” folder of Stra-D2Mod into the “Mod PlugY” folder (if you have installed a previous version of Stra-D2Mod, delete first the old "data" folder and then add the new one).

5) replace the plugy.ini INSIDE the Mod PlugY folder with the one of Stra-D2Mod folder.

6) make a SHORTCUT of PlugY.exe located in the Mod PlugY folder on your desktop and add to the file path: -direct -txt
In my case, the path is the following "C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo II\Mod PlugY\PlugY.exe" -direct –txt.
Please note that -direct –txt is OUTSIDE the quote.

7) Use the latter shortcut to launch the mod and enjoy.

Let me know if you solve the problem!
I'll be happy to further assist you.

1) These cube recipes are not activated in this mod. Please search in the cube recipes file of this mod how to sock white items.

2) "An Evil Force" is shown when the mod is not correctly installed.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the aim of this mod is to preserve all vanilla items without adding new items.

In hell difficulty, you need to collect the Essences dropped by Andariel, Mephisto, Diablo and Ball (one from each Boss) and use them in horadrim cube to obtain the Token.

Uhm....maybe you could reinstall the original patch 1.13c and then reinstall the mod

By token of absolution

Nope sorry.

Now download works properly

Uhm the link is working, although there are some issues with the rate of download

Hi! Your issue is probably related to d2data.mpq file......Have you replaced the old one with that of my mod? You may follow the installation instructions enclosed in the mod download for more details.

Hi,
Are y playing in hell difficulty? These items drop in hell difficulty

I got plugY too . No issue with it. However cinematic intro does not appear to me too lauching the mod.
