Enjoy-SP Mod for Diablo II: Lord of Destruction

Enjoy-SP Mod

Single Player and Co-op Mod: Better drops, faster leveling, ladder-only content, always-open Cow level

This mod is devoted to people who want to enjoy the single player mode to the full extend. This is mainly achieved by increasing
the overall drop rates of unique, set and rare items as well as runes. Also, the drop rates of very rare items such as Tyrael's Might
or high runes have been adjusted to a reasonable degree. Bosses in particular received an independend increase of their dropchances
for unique items, thus are more satisfying to slay. Some Boss-drops were altered to fit certain themes. All ladder-only runewords
and unique items were included. Furthermore The Secret Cow Level is now always accessible, even if the Cow King was slain.
A more fluent gameplay is provided by adjusting the experience gain on higher levels - so no more hard grinding after the 80s.
The Stash size has been increased and gambling got a higher chance of getting uniques and sets. And many more changes.

The goal for this mod was to enable all the Diablo-content for the single player while keeping the "vanilla-feeling". This mod
emphasizes on the distinction between Drop-Mods such as "The Perfect Drop Mod". It is not the goal of this mod to rain-down uniques
on a player. It rather wants to give a player the opportunity, or better, the possibility of exploring the full content of the game in one go,
without losing its core mechanics. So if you want to play a single player session and want a realistic chance of actually getting
unique items like Tyrael's, Windforce or Grandfather, then this mod is for you. It is of course not guarenteed that you will find all
of the items the game has to offer, but it is certain when played multiple times!
And combined with the PluGy Mod, it is even possible to challenge the Uber Bosses!

This mod is also fully functional with TCP/IP local multiplayer and works with the newest version of the game (1.14d).

so it looks like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo II\Game.exe" -direct -txt
3. Start the game with the new shortcut and enjoy your single player experience!

P.s.: if you want to play the normal version just start the game via the original shortcut.
