Diablo 2 Fallen Mod v15
Introduction:
Diablo 2 Fallen is a semi-conversion mod for Sacred 2 that transforms the game world, character classes, items, enemies, and many more aspects into those of Diablo 2.
General Requirements:
* This mod requires the latest version of the Community Patch (1.60) to be installed beforehand.
* Do not have any other mods installed if you're going to play D2F. None. This is a huge mod and compatibility is very limited. Custom versions of many popular mods are already integrated.
* The music pack is required, otherwise you will experience some regions with no music at all.
* Leave "Commentary" set to NEVER in the options menu. If you don't turn commentary off you will hear a weird mix of vanilla and D2F character voices.
* Leave "Number of Speakers" set to STEREO in the options menu. If you try to use 5.1 audio then the music and many sound effects will not play.
* The fonts needed for the interface are located in the "pak/fonts" directory of the mod. They are three .ttf files. Right-click each one and select "Install" to install them on your system.
Detailed Install Instructions (New Users):
* Download the Generic Mod Enabler (GME) and install it to your Sacred 2 root folder.
** Mod Enabler is available at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/Generic-Mod-Enabler.shtml
** For Steam the root folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sacred 2 Gold
** For GOG or disk version, the root folder is wherever you installed the game, for example C:\Sacred 2 Gold
* After running the GME once, it will make a folder called "MODS" there.
* Extract the contents of the D2F .zip file into the "MODS" folder. There should be three folders: "Diablo 2 Fallen v15", "D2F v15 Inferno Patch", and "D2F v15 SuperSpawn".
* Extract the D2F music pack contents ("music" folder) into the "pak" folder of the mod. So the structure will look like: [Diablo 2 Fallen v15/pak/music].
* Run the GME and enable Diablo 2 Fallen v15. It may take a long time to install. The GME will back up your clean files and will allow to you to easily enable/disable the mod as you wish.
* - Optional - "Inferno Edition" and/or "SuperSpawn" should be enabled after enabling the main mod. Disable before disabling the main mod.
* The fonts needed for the interface are located in the "pak/fonts" directory of the mod. They are three .ttf files. Right-click each one and select "Install" to install them on your system.
* Play with NEW characters only.
Previous Users:
* Disable the old version of D2F with the GME (important!)
* Remove the old D2F folder from your "MODS" folder.
* Place the new "Diablo 2 Fallen v15" folder into the "MODS" folder. Enable as usual.
* - Optional - "Inferno Edition" and/or "SuperSpawn" should be enabled after enabling the main mod. Disable before disabling the main mod.
* Use old characters at your own risk. Legacy characters may have re-rolled bonuses on random items or odd/broken behavior for in-progress quests.
