That's one good reason why it's branded as an alpha version ^^'
Someone who's going to be upset if he loses precious items (or perhaps his whole character save) probably shouldn't play it.

If it's a fresh Windows XP install, then the requirements probably aren't met.

Data\game_data\settings.chuj

Well, looks like the game's version of the Blue Screen of Death
Probably means "stop messing with the thaumaturgic shrines" :p

Get a legitimate retail CD and copy the diabdat.mpq from it to where you extracted the mod.

There would be several possible workarounds, including :
- get back to and older version of the driver (and Windows if you need)
- use another sound card

Hmm you may try deleting/moving away the data\game_data\settings.chuj file, see if that resets the settings.

That's not a bug, you can't craft until you brought the Anvil of Fury to Griswold.

As for how to take a screenshot, just press the "print screen" key on your keyboard and the game will automatically save the picture as a .bmp file in its folder.

That sounds unlikely. Because unless I'm mistaken, it's not actually a patch or a mod, but another engine made from scratch, which only uses the game's original resources (sounds, pictures, texts). So if I understand what you have in mind, "without anything else" would still mean "rep...

Nice idea :] If I may, I'd suggest reducing the weight of the documentation by converting all GIF files to PNG (or at least all non-animated ones, since not all browsers support animated PNGs yet :/ ), then optimizing the weight of the PNGs. There are various freeware tools for that. PNG Gauntlet wo...

Hey there .o/ I found that question interesting as I also sometimes play for only 1 hour and, due to my obsessive compulsive disease of always cleaning the whole level, don't always have enough time to go down 2 levels and find the waypoint. And so, I did a bit of searching around, but found this an...

Hey there .o/
Are you sure you have installed all the requirements, including .NET FrameWork 3.5 and Visual C++ 2010 runtimes ? (see at the bottom of http://mod.diablo1.eu.org/features/ )

First, I have never found the Butcher on level 1 Because it's not where he's supposed to be, not even on vanilla. I think even in the pre-release demo it was already in level 2. I found what looks to be the Chamber on level 2 and cast the spell. Nothing happened. OK, then it's weird. It should open...
