Hi
I thought I would share how I run the game and my "Notification" criteria for D2Stats (Barb --> based on following the build "The TLDR 2H Barb")


Steps 1 to 4: will change Priority, Affinity Delegation (Processor cores) AND Powerplan for the game and D2Stats

1. Creating and saving: Main Batch file to execute everything.
Open new Notepad file and type the code in the following spoiler (star/asterisk = replace with your windows username)


► Show Spoiler



From the code:

"C:\Users\******\AppData\Local\Programs\medianxllauncher"
Depending on where you saved the Launcher, you will maybe need to amend this line to (besides username) the location of the launcher.


"C:\Users\******\Document\D2sigmaSetup\" & "C:\Users\******\Document\D2sigmaSetup\D2MainD2.ahk"
This is where I keep my AutoHotkey folder and AHK (& PS/PowerShell) file I use for D2 Sigma --> to rotate between skills and buffs. (I recommend everyone to create one, as it will save lots of time, and will be useful during your exploration in Sigma Universe).
Just rename this section to your win username or remove both these rows if you're not going to use AHK.

"C:\Users\******\Document\D2sigmaSetup\set_GameX_affinity_priority.ps1"
This is where I store my PowerShell file to amend: Process&Core-setup (the code for that file can be found further down --> step 3).

2. Saving the BAT-file
A: Save this file as what ever&where ever you want.
B: You will need to rename the type of file to: BAT
Example: "D2Sigma.Bat"


3. Creating and saving: PowerShell batch file to execute amendment of: Priority of the Process & Affinity/Core delegation & Change of Powerplan.
Open new Notepad file and type the code in the following spoiler:

From the code:
$p = gwmi -NS root\cimv2\power -Class win32_PowerPlan -Filter "ElementName ='H��restanda'"
As I'm using a laptop, I need to change the powerplan when I'm playing games, (& ofc where the adapter is connected to the outlet).
Change "H��restanda" to your gaming powerplan (if you have one).
Or simply remove this/these lines, if you don't want to change/dont have powerplan.

4. Saving the PS1-file
A: Save this file by naming it "set_GameX_affinity_priority" and make sure the directory (where you save the file) is the same as stated in the BAT-file:
Code line: powershell -executionpolicy bypass -file "C:\Users\******\Document\D2sigmaSetup\set_GameX_affinity_priority.ps1"

Thus the folder to save the file: "C:\Users\******\Document\D2sigmaSetup\" (or the directory you have manually changed in the BAT-file for "set_GameX_affinity_priority.ps1".

B: You will need to rename the type of file to: ps1
Example: "set_GameX_affinity_priority.PS1"

5. My endgame D2Stats Notifier for the Barbarian class, can be found in the following spoiler:
Remember, save your old "Notifier setup in a text document as backup, in case you regret using mine.

Just paste the text to your notifier tab

This will cause much, much less junk on the ground (by hiding the items) = More focus on battle/action.
Important: You still need to check if mobs/bosses drop rewards, as I haven't added them all (yet).

Happy hunting for everyone!

Is Great Helm in there twice for a reason? Happens multiple times.
