Edited D2fx glide

[Santans Army]

I belive this is the file I need to run multiple copys of d2, But i need to create another set of mpqs, The process is a lil confusing to me to create them because it doesnt quite explain to clear for me how to make 2 diffrent mpqs.

I just want to make another Mpq for a new cdkey, that is all and I need to know how to get diablo 2 lod to use those insted of originals, if i have to put something in the properties or what on a shortcut to diablo 2 lod.

If you are thinking about trying to run 2 copies of the game using D2Loader than forget about it, blizzard has fixed it so you can't. The only option you have is installing 2 copies of the game on the same machine. Than changing the window title so it's different from the original.

This is a way to run 2 copies of D2 without any crashes on the same computer.
You need:
2 CD keys for BNet
1 Hex editor


1. Install D2 with key, patch it fully to 1.11 and enter battle.net.
2. Exit Battle.net again
3. copy your whole D2 install to another directory, eg "c:\games\diablo2a"
3. uninstall d2
4. install d2 with the 2nd key

Now you have 2 installs of D2 on your computer but you can't start a 2nd copy since D2 complains that only one copy can be run at the same time.

1. open d2gfx.dll from c:\games\diablo2a in the hexeditor. I used UltraEdit32 for this.
2. search for the bytes "C0 74 45". in Ultraedit: press ctrl-f and make sure the "find ASCII" is UNCHECKED. enter "C0 74 45".
3. the cursor will jump to offset 84ceh. Change the byte "74" to "EB"
4. save d2gfx.dll again

Now the install with the modified d2gfx.dll can be started while the other one is already running. it will work fine. including the usual "diablo ii.exe -w -ns"
