M17 Released!

[Texalic]

All works great, thank you all who are involved in the process of making the best mod ever.

Changes are visible from the very start, I really like it.

Hey Folks,

Thanks to all of you for keeping this game fresh.

I am having similar issues with others regarding the line halt error that is listed on the first page of the forum. I dont mean to be redundant, but I am not tech savvy enough to understand the process as to how to try and fix the error.

Ive been playing MedianXL via the launcher with no issues, I updated it to run the game earlier today, and the halt exception appears when attempting to join a game (im sure its the same situation for everyone else that ran into the problem) I just dont understand the tech jargon well enough to fix it. Can anyone PM me a dumbed down version that might help me bypass this issue?

Thanks

Dear god what's the drop rate for a "Runestone" now?

Been maybe 10 levels dry of a single one.
5/6 of the other stones.

so even using the instructions for D2SE mod manager i bricked my vanilla diablo2 which is a huge shame since the reset is coming and i have friends who want me to play it with them. (i get the "failed to retrieve" error on vanilla d2 but median works fine)

i'll have to reinstall everything and not play any median for now i guess :\

Now one more QoL that would really improve things, if it was possible to ever get it working with new core, then having the ablity to hold shift+click items to quick transfer items back and forth from stash and inventory.

I wiped my old files and reinstalled D2/LOD/Median XL. It got me into the game, but the launcher opened in windowed mode, I went to change the settings and now im getting a critical error while trying to initialize DirectDraw, any suggestions?

So I reinstalled D2 which was 1.14b. Installed the 1.13c patch and then Median XL. Came up with a "Failed to retrieve process" error. Ran as admin and came up with d2data.mpq corrupt. Dying to play on this 4 day weekend.

K, been fighting with this "2239" error for 3.5 hours now. Game works fine on SP, but error pops up when trying to create/join game on TSW. Using standard D2SE/PlugY setup (PlugY disabled when joining TSW, obv) via WINE on Linux. Read through forum threads/posts and tried the suggested solutions ppl offered. Anyone on Linux have this problem and/or could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

I had the same problem earlier but after fiddling with the plugy.ini it worked.
Here is mine (Linux Mint-Wine-D2SE&Plugy)

[GENERAL]
ActivePlugin=1
DisableBattleNet=0
ActiveLogFile=0
DllToLoad=MXL.dll
DllToLoad2=[GENERAL]
ActivePlugin=1
DisableBattleNet=0
ActiveLogFile=0
DllToLoad=MXL.dll
DllToLoad2=
ActiveCommands=1
ActiveCheckMemory=1
ActiveCommands=1
ActiveCheckMemory=1

This is the only important part. After that the error disappeared. Also make sure your plugy is version 10.0

Yeah, mine looks like that, too--except I didn't have the "DisableBattleNet=0" line, but adding it didn't change things. And yeah, it's PlugY 10.00. Thanks for the help, though. I'll keep playing around with it a bit longer.

I just don't get why SP works fine, but TSW doesn't. Almost positive it's something super simple that I'm overlooking...

Edit:
It seems PlugY is the thing loading MXL.dll, so having the "Use PlugY" box unchecked means MXL.dll isn't being loaded. Same error in SP now with box unchecked, but no problems in SP or TSW as long as box is checked. fml.

@Nicolas72, giving you a cookie for your efforts, and because my stupidity is embarrassing.
