Diablo 2 No Cd Patch
Also a tip to any people who are making Diablo II hacks that install by finding the D2 window: EnumWindows / GetClassName / GetWindowThreadProcessId are your friends. Don't go enumerating the executable names as these aren't 100% reliable due to renaming. The D2 window classname is 'Diablo II'. Small note, the last version recommended using '-nocleanup' to do a 'nice' shutdown of D2 - a word of warning - don't use -nocleanup with -skiptobnet or every time D2 tries to exit by going back to the menu, it will reconnect to bnet and you'll be stuck in a rather nasty foreground-hogging infinite loop.
I wonder why Blizzard still hasn't released an official No CD patch for the original Diablo, since they have just recently done it for Diablo 2.:confused: C'mon Blizz, a No CD for Diablo 1 is way overdue. Pretty please, pretty please. Cause: User has overwritten some of the MPQs in the Diablo 2 directory instead of copying only the missing MPQs from the Diablo 2 CD. Solution: Uninstalling and installing Diablo 2 again and copying only the MPQs from the CD that are not present in the Diablo 2 directory. Patch Notes 1.12.
I'm amazed this didn't actually crash since there was a jump into the middle of an opcode (*blushes*):D. Bound the executable to Diablo II v1.11b and WinXP SP2 entry points for maybe a slight improvement in load time. D2Loader v1.11b (Sep 22 2005) ----------------------------- Patched the D2Lang.dll patches so -locale works again. Since I don't have a Korean D2 or whatever, I can't test this actually works, but it looks like it should - my D2 crashes looking for some Korean fonts with -locale Korean. Added ability to read extra command line options.
This new code section also makes it much easier to extend D2Loader functionality at a later time if needed. New in this build is a bnclient.dll patch to generate the bncache name based on the PID of the D2Loader process.
Mac users will need to copy these music files and rename them to 'Diablo II Music' and 'Diablo II Expansion Music' respectively. Anyone who did not perform a 'Full Installation' will need to re-install from CD again to ultimately play without the CD. In this case, a 'Full Installation' is required, followed by file copy step noted above.

Diablo 2 No-cd Patch 1.13d
This version simply fixes the ordinals for v1.11b and again, D2Loader is back in business. One small fix, if you Alt+F4 out of D2, the cache file handle is properly closed and deleted. As usual, keep an eye on the D2Loader redirect - for the latest versions. D2Loader v1.11b02 Sep 09 2005 ----------------------------- Added some code to the resource section to support extra hacks which wouldn't fit in any other places. This may cause some virus scanners to go crazy since code shouldn't be running from the resource section:). It's quite safe, just heuristic scanners may give false positives.

And yeah, my LOD cd has pretty much lived in my drive since i bought the damn game. Now it's time to put up an eviction notice. =) i'll work on creating an iso image from the cd in the morning. I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow. Right now it's time to get some shut eye. Thanks again to everyone for their help and suggestions.

Transferring from the XP machine worked but the game crashed. This is probably due to my winecfg settings. But I'm not sure what I am doing differently this time on KDE. Links that I've tried to follow (unsuccessfully): Last edited by jgreen1tc (2011-06-18 16:46:26).
Secondly, i would like to keep my game disks in as good of condition as possible to preserve them for future use. And finally, i'm just plain lazy.;-) i'm asking here rather than using google because i would prefer something that i know is most likely going to work properly and not contain any viruses/trojans/spyware. I can understand if an answer cannot be given directly in the thread itself. If such is the case then please either pm me, or email me at thank you.
