Diablo 2
Diablo 2 in a Window:
Although not documented, you may run Diablo 2 in a Window
instead of full-screen. Simply add "-w" to your Diablo 2
shortcut. (ie: "C:\Diablo 2\Diablo II.exe" -w)
Retreiving Items from Dead Corpse: (Tested with version 1.01)
When you die and are transported back into town, shutdown
the game incorrectly (example: [Alt] + [Tab] back to Windows,
press [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Delete] and shutdown the Diablo 2 task).
When you load the game back up again, your dead corpse will
appear in town and you may collect your items/gold.
Savings & Load:
Unlike in Diablo I, you cannot save the game in the middle of a
dungeon, and re-load the game back to that point. That is, if
you pick up an unidentified magic item and want to save the game
before you identify it, so that you can reload the game and dump
the item if its actually cursed or useless, you cannot do it
directly through the main game menu like you could in Diablo I.
This is because your in-game menu options are various game setting
'Options', 'Save and Quit', and 'Return to Game'. To do this in
Diablo I you would just: save, identify item, load game, and then
dump the item if you wanted. To do this in Diablo II, you need to:
save and quit, load game, identify item, Alt-Tab (to bring up your
Windows desktop), end task Diablo II (ctrl-alt-del, select Diablo II,
click on 'end task'), then relaunch the game, and reload the game.
Your item now returns to an unidentified state, and you can unload
(sell, drop) it if you want.
Money:
This doesn't work for any class except the Barbarian.
It definitely takes patience. OK, first learn the find
potion skill. If u want to, after go to the skills shrine,
then go around and kill everything, in between use the find
potion skill and with the shrine enhancement u should be able
to get light health and mana, and maybe even a rejuvenation.
when your full go to the blacksmith and sell your potions.
Presto, Mo money!
Hex Cheat (Stash)
WARNING: Always make a backup of your savegame before
edititng!
To modify the amount of gold contained in your "Stash",
do the following:
1) Try to put at least 1000 gold in your stash. This cheat
will work with smaller amounts, but you may be limited on
how much you can add.
2) Load your game. Record the amount of gold in your stash.
Exit from game.
3) Load a Hex Editor and convert your gold to HEX. Open the
file savegame.d2s (savegame will be the name of your character)
in your Diablo 2 save folder.
4) Search for the HEX location (from converted amount of gold).
Modify the HEX location to FFFF (or any amount in HEX that you
wish - up to 65000). Save the file.
5) Re-load your Diablo 2 savegame and you will have 65000 in
your stash!
Gain money and items quickly:
Travel past the Blood Moor and look for a cave. The
cave has two levels, with a golden chest somewhere
at the second level. Inside are usually health potions,
mana potions, scrolls of town portal or identify,
unidentified weapons and armor, and sometimes even a
rare item that can be sold for a great deal of money.
If you identify the item and it is something that you
do not want, sell it. Save and exit the game. The next
time the game is loaded, the chest will still be there
with different items. This can be done as many times as
needed.
Cow level:
When you have the Horadaric Cube, obtain "Wert's Leg"
in Tristram (where you go to rescue Deckhard Cain).
Go to the northwest part of the town and search the
boy's body. Place both Wert's leg and a Tome of Town
Portal in the Horadaric Cube, and it will open a portal
to a hidden level filled with axe carrying cows. Do not
go through the portal until you are over level 35 because
the cows are quite numerous and strong.
Duplicating items:
Note: This only works on Open Battlenet, as the characters
need to be saved on your computer. This trick also requires
two computers with two copies of Diablo 2. Get the items to
be duplicated. Copy the "Save" folder from the Diablo 2
folder of that computer and paste it on your desktop.
Go online with both computers and meet in a game. Give the
items to be duplicated to the second computer, then save and
exit. Press [Alt] + Tab] on the first computer to switch to
Windows and copy the "Save" folder from your desktop back to
its original location, overwriting its current contents.
Return and join the other computer in the game. You will
now have all your original items and the other computer will
have a copy of them. Note: This does not work with the +1 Skill
book from Act 2, as you are only allowed to do it once.
Can't get your Dead body?:
Just save, exit and go back to the game. Your body
will be in the town.
Sound Distortion:
Type: "soundchaosdebug" in the chat box while in game.
All the sounds in the game will play as fast as possible.
Type "soundchaosdebug" again to disable the cheat.
