Diablo 2 Accelerator
Readme.txt
D2Accelerator v 1.0 by FoxBat
for Diablo II & Lord of Destruction 1.09
Introduction
Diablo II often slows or stutters on machines well above Blizzard's "recommended" system specifications. High-level characters can quickly re-cast spells over and over bringing your computer to a grinding halt, or a huge army of monsters and minions can make the game unplayable. In many places the programmers could have been more efficicent with CPU usage but it was simply not a priority.
This utility improves performance and framerates for a wide range of computers by offering additional graphic detail options. It also includes a few system settings to improve loading and hard drive performance.
The changes are visual only and are completely compatible with Diablo II and Lord of Destruction 1.09, realms and open. It can even work on "-direct -txt" mods
Instructions
.To use, start up the D2Accelerator utility. In the box beneath the text "current configuration", choose a configuration that matches your processor. Then click the Apply button. You can now click "Run Diablo II" to run with the changes.
You can also run Diablo II without starting up D2Accelerator by clicking on the "Diablo II Accelerated" icon on your desktop or in the D2Accelerator folder in the start menu.
To turn off all changes, select the Off configuration and click Apply.
If you want to uninstall D2Accelerator, go to the Control Panel and look in Add/Remove Programs.
Features
D2Accelerator offers many detail options that you can customize.
To create a custom configuration, select one of the current configuration choices, click the Add button below the list, and enter a name for your new configuration. Up to 10 configurations can be stored.
To modify, check or un-check the various checkboxes. The Remove checkboxes, when checked, will remove the specified component.
The Fix checkboxes will modify the selected components to make them less processor intensive. Click Apply to save your changes and apply them to Diablo II.
Explanation of Fixes
Most are self explanitory, but a few can be slightly confusing.
Fire: this will modify all "burning-ground" fire spells. This includes firewall, immolation arrow, meteor, and blaze.
Lightning: this will modify all lightning-bolt spells. This includes lightning, chain lightning, lightning strike, and the gloam's lightning attack.
Plague Javelin: this will reduce not only the poison clouds of plague javelin but also the clouds from poision potions, poison explosion, and many monsters' poison cloud attacks.
Diablo: this will modify diablo's lightning inferno and fire nova/snake attacks. Baal: this will modify baal's fire nova.
Monster Light: a few monsters have a light radius around them, most notably necromages. This will remove that radius (but it won't affect the light that bosses and champions give off)
Translucency: checking this box will make many translucent (see-through) spell effects opaque (can't see-through) This can improve performance but a black outline will appear around many spell effects.
Click the Remove button below the Configuration list to remove a configuration
System Enhancements
Some system enhancements are avaliable by clicking the System... button. This will bring up a box with a few options.
Optimise Disk Cache- the disk cache is a place in your system memory that acts as a buffer for reading from the hard drive. This setting can make a very noticable difference in how long it takes to load new graphics in Diablo II. A few computers may experience crashes with this setting, so disable if that happens to you.
Optimise Swap File- the swap file is the space for your Virtual Memory. These settings can be accesed from the Preformance tab in the System section of the Control Panel. Choosing this option will make a fixed swap file of 300 megs on drive C:, so only use this if you have the space.
Converve Swap File- if you have 196 megs of memory or more, then you don't really need to use the swap file at all for Diablo II. Using this option will force Diablo II to rely more on your ample faster RAM. Use this setting if you have 196 or more megs of memory, however if you have less you may suffer a decrease in performance
Click the apply button in the system settings box to apply these changes. You must restart your computer before any of these settings will take effect. If you don't want to change anything then click cancel.
Note:
(If anything does goes horribly wrong, you can find your previous cache and virtual memory settings in C:\windows\d2asysbak.ini. This isn't a backup of the entire system.INI file, just a few setings that you can copy over.
But you should usually be able to recover these settings simply by unchecking the boxes in D2Accelerator)
Mods and D2Accelerator
D2Accelerator also works on some mods. It only works on mods using the "-direct -txt" paradigm. These mods are distributed as folders containing text and other data files rather than a modified MPQ file. D2Accelerator can apply to any "-direct -txt" mod, but it will not take into account visual changes to skills in the mod.
This will not modify gameplay, but for example if a modder changes lightning nova to a fire nova, and you check the "nova" checkbox with this mod, it will make this nova look just like it would if you clicked the checkbox in standard Diablo II. Fortunately it will still deal fire damage however.
Modmakers can provide custom definitions to change the appearance of skills to something more fitting for their mod. These are distributed as files called "d2adef.txt" and should be placed in the appropriate mod folder.
To add a new mod, find the small text box under Current Mod. Click on the arrow to the right of the box, and scroll down the list to Enter the name of your mod, then you must select the directory of the mod. The configurations for different mods are kept seperate. So you can have another 10 custom configurations for each mod.
To remove D2Accelerator modifications from a mod, select the mod to remove and click the Remove button next to the mod textbox.
If you plan on uninstalling D2Accelerator, you should first use this button to remove modifications from all your mods. Some mods may use special batch files, script files, or executables to run. The Run Diablo II button will not execute this, so it is recommended that you run your mod as you usually do.
Tips to Tweak Your System
Other things that may improve system performance:
Defragment your hard drive.
Set all the .mpq's in your DiabloII directory to read-only, except for patch_d2.mpq.
Make sure you have no programs running in the background.
Use DirectDraw or Glide instead of Direct3D.
Use 640x480 resolution instead of 800x600. For some computers 800x600 may not lag too bad in most areas, but it does bog down in places with many translucent walls, such as the catacombs, kurast, etc.
Changing lighting options and turning off music will make a minor improvement.
On some systems, turning off sound completely will make a noticable difference.
If you like sound and are using enviornmental/3d audio, turning those off can improve performance. Make sure that it is turned off both in Diablo II and in your general sound card settings.
