Diablo II & Lord of Destruction
Original Poster: Ewoud
Post Date: 17-02-2005 For a Diablo collection DVD, I just first install all cd's, update, replace the executable and burn the whole folder to DVDR. You dont need specific registry settings that are made during official installation; the game will add them again when you run it next time. I have tested this on a clean xp installation. -Install Diablo 2 from its 3 CD's -Install LOD expansion -Update to version 1.10 -Replace the game.exe with one who doesnt ask for the original Diablo II LOD CD. (You will however still need the original cdkey to play online with battle.net) Optionally you can create a custom installer that copies all files from the DVD to your hardrive, but the game even totally runs from DVD only not that fast and you cant safe :P so copying the whole folder over is recommanded. Next to the whole DII & LOD installation on DVD, there is space left for the Diablo1 files or an ISO and Daemon Tools. I have also made a dummie file that replaces the D2video.mpq so you dont have to store the bigsize file on your harddrive if you never watch the movies again. You can modify mpq files with tools provided on the phrozen keep site (http://dynamic6.gamespy.com/~phrozenkeep/) d2music.mpq contains videofiles as well wich Ive replaced with zero byte videofiles of the bik video format. If you create a DVD like this, you never have to install Diablo II & LOD again from the CD's but just copy over the whole folder from DVD and you can play again. Extra: It also works to put this whole folder on a server or just one pc in your local network and when you add a shortcut from the server location to the other pc's, you can easily run the game from one central computer without having to install or copy the game to each client pc. You may have to alter the Diablo II "Save Path" value in the registry of the server. Run the game once to let DII add these registry values and lookup and alter them afterwards.

Diablo 2 and D2 : Lord of Destruction DVD5
1) Create a Temp folder on your harddrive. Name this folder: Diablo2_DVD. This will be the name (Label) of our DVD. 2) Copy all the contents from CD1 [installdisc] to the Temp folder. Rename INSTALL.EXE to INSTALL_DIABLO2.EXE 3) From CD2 [playdisc] copy all files to the same Temp folder [don't replace any files, replace folders if needed] 4) From CD3 [cinematics] copy all files to the same Temp folder [don't replace any files, replace folders if needed] 5) From expansion disc [lord of destruction] copy INSTALL.EXE and SETUP.MPQ to harddisk but not into our Temp folder. Open in any hex editor INSTALL.EXE from harddisk [that install.exe from expansion], search for string 'SETUP.MPQ' and replace to 'SETUX.MPQ' save and close. rename INSTALL.EXE to INSTALL_LOD.EXE and move to Temp folder rename SETUP.MPQ to SETUX.MPQ and move to Temp folder 6) Copy from Lord of Destruction all other files and folders to Temp folder. Not replace any files [except BINKW32.DLL, dont copy install.exe] Replace all folders 7) Open the AUTORUN.INF file in Diablo2 to look like this: [autorun] OPEN=INSTALL_DIABLO2.EXE ICON=DIABLOII.ICO or icon change to icon of expansion 8 ) Create another folder/s for any Updates, Serial, Patches and or Cracks etc. NOTE: Name this/these folder/s whatever you want. 9) Burn the contents of the Temp folder to a DVD with the Label: Diablo2_DVD menu for this conversion autorun menu download menu for d2 and d2lod extract/put into image replace all files rename folder with patches to 'nodvd' -patches must in this subfolder and dont rename it use orginal name : D2Patch_111b.exe LODPatch_111b.exe open serial_d2.txt add serial for diablo 2 open serial_lod.txt add serial for lord of destruction that's all my first menu , looks very badly... im use for my conversion - dont need good looking menu but must be useable , all in one page have start sound -the same like in orginal installer have on click/on hover button sound - thes same like in orginal installer
