Quote:ok i downloaded 'exe' from http://homepages.inspire.net.nz/~lennylen/diablo/mods/ but where
do i unzip it to to get the mod to work. into the diablo file in c drive?
I'm going to just copy/paste my answer to this question from when I was asked it recently on GFaqs:
The answer depends on format the mod is in, .exe or .dat.
In either case, you first need to ensure that you have the version of Diablo that the mod is based on. Most are
v1.07 with some
v1.08 and
v1.09. In order to do this, you need to download the appropriate patch. I like to have one directory for each version. What I do is install the game, then run the v1.07 patch. Then I make a copy of the Diablo folder and rename it Diablo107. I then repeat this for v1.08 and then finally run the v1.09 patch and that becomes the current version of the game (the version any shortcuts in your Start Menu or on the Desktop point to).
Now for the mods. If they are .exe versions, just copy them into the correct directory, and double-click the .exe to run it.
To run the .dat versions, you will need a copy of DHack, which you can get
here.
It doesn't really matter where you put the .dat files, though you may wish to put them in the directory for the version of Diablo they are based on. If the mod also comes with extra files, these also need to gointo the correct installation directory. Once you have everything copied, run the correct version of Diablo.exe, then ALT-TAB back to the desktop.
Next, run DHack, and load the .dat file. The click the "Activate All Hacks" button. You can now go back to Diablo, and the mod will be applied.
