Good news: Multires working with 1.13c! Bad news: see inside..
Hey all!
Recently someone asked about getting multires working with Diablo II 1.13c, and I remembered that about 6 months ago I had spent a day and half figuring out how and was finally able to get it working. I searched around my HDD today and found the modified D2 1.13c multires install, so I retraced my steps and figured out how to do it from scratch. I grabbed the D2 multires files off some website, don't remember which one, but that's ok because you won't need to do the same, simply download the instructions below.
Screenshots:
Important facts:
Not compatible with BH (or any other known maphack, due to the strange mix of version DLLs to make multires work)
Cannot connect to bnet or Slashdiablo (read below for my guess as to why)
Clicks around the edge of the screen sometimes don't register to well
Screenshots work just fine
Fullscreen mode didn't work for me, only windowed mode
Limited widescreen support (not all resolutions available)
About connecting to Slashdiablo:
Back when I got this working originally, I was able to successfully connect to Slashdiablo and play a few hours. I just tried today and I get the 'unable to identify your application version' error. I believe something changed when the server was moved/upgraded a few months ago, the admins will have to disable whatever check is in place because there's no way to connect to Slashdiablo with the game patched to be multires-compatible. :(
Note that I performed these steps in a VM that had a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium, to make sure they worked 'from scratch'.
Install Diablo II and LOD from the bnet installers, I used these keys I found online: D2: 4EK2896KM6J8MYW98YWTH2CD6M D2 LoD: 7HRMZ9WF6NTV482F9EXXEK2HTT
DO NOT CONNECT TO BATTLE.NET, it will auto patch your game to the wrong version.
Download patch 1.13c (LODPatch_113c.exe) directly from Blizzard at: http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2exp/patches/PC/
Manually patch by double clicking D2Patch_113c.exe
Download the files that will make 1.13c multires-capable from my Dropbox account here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1868122/slashdiablo/multires/multires.zip
Unzip that file directly into your Diablo II install directory, overwriting when prompted. NOTE: If I were you I'd first make a copy of my D2 directory before doing this, for backup purposes!!
Create a shortcut to D2MultiResGame.exe and add the '-w' flag to run it in windowed mode.
Start the game, create any single player game, and change your resolution as desired, enjoy!
Manually Download D2 Patch 1.13c
Disclaimer:
I was able to get this working after hours of fiddling, if these steps don't work for you then I don't know how to fix it. :( I didn't write the multires hack, I only found it online and cobbled a working solution together.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
tl;dr You can get 1.13c multires working, but maphacks don't work and you can't play on Slashdiablo (for now?)
