How to run multiple copies of D2LOD 1.10??
 

Can anyone help me plz i need to run multiple copies of D2LOD 1.10...

So you can sell them!!

Nah but seriously, why would you want to do that...?? LAN games? You mean you need to run multiple CD's or you jsut need to have the game running at the same time, as for LAN games? If so you dont need to make copies of the game, just use the no-cd crack from one of the sites in the thread titles "where to get game cracks" :D

I have a single PC which has d2lod well i do have LAN, but others coms don't have it and installing it there is not an option... there's no editor available for 1.10... and i'd like to mule some items, i have only one copy of d2lod and only one cd key... how do i go about that?

What do you mean "mule" some items you mean share the game? on e-donkey or something? I think talking about that stuff on this forum will get you banned......maybe a moderator can clear this up?

So please be more sepecific when you say you want to have multiple copies running so we can help you.....

Running two instances on one machine is nice for transfering and holding items. Start the game and create a game. Start another instance of the game and join the first one. One instance is the main character doing whatever, and the other character is a bank and items holder. I havent done it since the original D2 and it was nice for all the special equipment storage.

Nihilism, Quit viewing the thread, and post what you actually want to do? Otherwise, I'm closing this sucker...
And yes I can see what thread you are looking at... ;)


I Pity the Foo' who dont splain proper


And then ash explained the situation below...

He wants to transfer items for storage, I think.
You only have so much space on a character so you cant keep all the goodies you want to. There was a program that let you "mule" by allowing you to run multiple instances on one computer. All using the same install and CD key. But that was for the original D2 and I dont remember what it was called.

Oh thats what it (mule) means! I have never played a magical game like diablo in my life so i would know.....how come you only have limited space for storing characters? i this because they take up too much space....or a way to handicap the game, like against the computer to make it harder?

The game allows only so much space for storing swords, gems, etc in your backpack and chest. When it fills up you have to decide what to throw away or sell.

You get a "mule" whose only purpose is to carry your stuff in their backpack or chest. When that mule fills up, you make another "mule" character.

I see, but still Nihilism post still doesnt make sense......he asks for help with one thing, and then completely changes it to another....he hasnt replied so......

Nihilism are you going to reply so we can help you????

but both instances of the game would share the same ip address and would therefore conflict and not be able to join the same game. I would see that as being the major problem with what u want to do.

Unless u run Virtual PC, allowing u to run another operating system on the host pc.

MY GOD!!! does any of u actually play d2lod???? for those who do not play it PLZ QUIT TEACHING ME SOMETHING U KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!!!
Viper what is there not to understand??? muling means transfering items from one char to another !
Who's the smart ass suggesting that i just run two instances of it and move the items???? Why u not try it and go figure why i can't! 'COS IT WON'T RUN TWICE!@!!!!!! u can only run one instance of d2lod! there used to be a d2loader for 1.09 and below, but i'm not sure how does it work and there's isn't one for 1.10 at least as far as i know i've been searching internet for the last 2 days with no result.....

i'm sorry to say this but those who don't know anything about this issue PLZ DON'T WASTE TIME POSTING NONSENSE!!!!

oh and BountyWarrior
i'm sorry for just viewing the thread and not saying anything.... apparently ur forum started to lag so much that i had to wait literally 15 mins to upload this page with no graphics or anything else plus it was telling DNS look up error for about 9/10 times i'd try, go figure why i fell asleep without being able to actually see all of u talking here.... :)

Look here and get this
 

Check out diabloii.net
I was having the same problem wanting to mule items. Its a small file you put in your diablo2 directory, just make sure you rename the original version to something else.

http://www.alsterlichtsatz.com/d2/d2.html

Download the d2gfx.dll from this site:
Make a new shortcut pointing to game.exe in the diablo directory. (Your normal game start shortcut points to "diabloii.exe". Do not change this, you'll need to use it as well.)

Procedure:
- backup or rename the original d2gfx.dll
- copy this special d2gfx.dll into the diablo II directory
- start up normal D2 or LOD
- host a TCP/IP game
- use "ALT-TAB" or "CTRL-ESC" or Windows Key to get out of D2 or LOD
- start up D2 or LOD with the newly created shortcut (you'll have the game running twice at the same time, off of the different short cuts. the d2gfx.dll allows this)
- join the TCP/IP game with your mule (type the displayed IP number)
- exchange items

Blow me.

You are then stating you are trying to run more than one copy of the game on more than one machine with one cd-key. Not to mention this thread is off topic.
