Modding support

Technical Support
1

So, I’m a long time modder on many of the games I play. I know a bit about Diablo 2 (Legacy) modding and I heard that D2R would have modding support.

I managed to extract the game’s data (TXT) files just fine and would like to use them.

I know about the -direct -text launch parameters for Diablo 2 (Legacy) and tried those on D2R.exe, to no avail.

Could someone from the team :

  1. Confirm that modding support is still a thing for D2R
  2. Explain how to make the game run from TXT data instead of the data contained in the CASC files

That alone would help tremendously but if there is any additional information, I would gladly have it.

Thanks !

So I created a new shortcut and added -direct -txt. Make sure that global, hd and local folders are in the root data folder. Meaning put them in this location: \Diablo II Resurrected\Data\

Lol the game starts with the files, but not with some issues. I did a simple test and removed mana from Fire Bolt, it works but for some reason the new HD Fire Bolt texture disappears. If you flip to legacy mode it displays just fine.

It’s sad that we can only mod single player. I have several family members that will only play with TCP/IP and mods, in total that 6 copies of the game that’s not being sold :frowning: Plus it’s soured everyone on diablo 4.
