![]() ![]() The good news is the default installation only has the stash features active when you install PlugY after Median XL, so you don't need to do anything else. ![]() To avoid losing your characters or breaking your game installation, stick to using the stash features. Since Median XL has changed nearly all of those features, trying to activate them may result in character corruption. However, the great majority of them are tuned towards "exporting" realm features into singleplayer mode, such as making Ladder runewords available, and activating realms quests. If you did it successfully, you should see PlugY's version information on the lower right side of D2's main menu screen. After installation, from now on launch the game using the PlugY executable instead of your old game shortcut. When you install PlugY, change the default install-to folder from \Mod PlugY\ up one folder to the main D2 game folder - i.e., instead of \Games\Diablo 2\Mod PlugY\, install to \Games\Diablo 2\. Finally, when using PlugY with Median XL, you need a clean d2gfx.dll - in case you were using a modded version (for example, a multi-instance-enabled one), revert to the original file before you attempt to install PlugY. NOTE: PlugY has not been updated to support the latest game version (1.12 currently), so keep your upgrade at 1.11b at most. What's more, PlugY also allows you to toggle between that character's personal stash, as well as a shared stash which other characters on your computer can access. The maximum number of pages is 2^32, so for all practical purposes you have near-infinite stash space. PlugY is a very handy addon that enhances your stash by adding "page tabs", so instead of one single stash area, you can flip forward to additional pages and keep more items. If you are playing on open, at the very least password-protect your game so that non-mod players will not accidentally join and crash your game. Please make sure everyone is using the exact same version of the mod. However, you can still play in open as well as direct TCP/IP mode. Obviously, the official Blizzard servers don't have the mod installed on them, so you can't play Median XL in closed. The game's netcode has not been changed in any way. Q: Why don't I see the special effects like shown in the official website screenshots? A: You must be playing in fullscreen, Direct3D mode. Q: Is the PlugY addon supported? A: Yes - see the mini guide section Using PlugY below. Q: Will cheats / maphack / bots work with Median XL? A: No. Q: Will characters from the original game / Median 2008 / work in Median XL? A: No, Median XL uses its own characters. Q: I have the classic Diablo 2 game, but I don't have the Lords of Destruction expansion, can I still play Median XL? A: No - Median XL is an expansion game mod. ![]()
