Diablo 2SE manager, 1.10, and back to hellfire

[Grdg]

i have installed diablo 2semanager to get to patch 1.10 in order to play back to hellfire, how do i start this whole process? I have put the BTH folder where my diablo folder is, now how do i start playing it?

Back To Hellfire is not supported by D2SE, which is onyx's decision.
Only way to start the Mod, is the way everyone do - with it's executable.
For more information read the mod's ReadMe file.

which sux massive wish this and eastern sun were supported so i didnt have to go through a big process just to get this to work

I hope onyx doesnt mind sharing this (if he does, he can just remove this post) but in order to play BTH via D2SE you don't need a plugin.

BTH is a .mpq conversion mod only therefore just go to the D2SE folder, search for BASE files and go to the corresponding Version (theres 1.08 to 1.13 so should be easy and simply replace the .mpq there. (perhaps backup the old file first).

Then start D2se and launch the "normal" version where you pasted the BTH .mpq (like 1.10 or whatever.

you should be in bth and all the customization options work nonetheless.

enjoy

so switch it so that the vanilla button loads hellfire or other mods that arent supported as long as its an only a .mpq conversation mod?

gogodanny, as far as I remember from my conversations with Seltsamuel, there is a problem running BTH with D2SE and it's not as easy as you describe. I might be wrong, of course.

Yeh it's not as simple as that, I PM'd you about it though Onyx

[lyrikdis]

yah i couldnt get it to work myself but i am not good at these things though

problem with BTH is related to a new bug with microsoft ASRL I belive. If you are using a fixed lookup adress it will cause issues because microsoft decides to reallocate diablo dll's even if it's not even needed.
