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.
