Hi,

I have the German version of Diablo and know that there's some trick with
swapping the german language DLL against the english one.

Anybody got a download location for the English DLL and instructions on
how-to apply it?

Thanx,

Oliver

After browsing around for a way to convert my french-speaking diablo
into english, I found out a few ways...

....the more convenient one would be to start the game using
"-locale eng"

I don't know if that would fix your whole dll issues, though.

Are you kidding? This is for real? I also have a French version and
pestered so many times at it. I had no idea you could change it. I'll
try it as soon as I get home.

I guess you add this in the command line (like -act n, etc.)?

I have been fruitlessly searching for a reference for the command line
options for Diablo. The manuals don't seem to have them, and I haven't
found anything online. Can someone provide a link?

TIA

hummm... been trying "-locale eng" and it doesn't seem to work. What
am I doing wrong?

So that's the one to change the language of the game? In a french
version, I just add

-lng eng

at the end of the command line in the shortcut and the text will
change to English?

I'll try again tonight.

Thanks for the information!

The question is more: "what am I doing right?" :p

The first method I used was this one:

Step 1:
_Create a folder named "data" into the Diablo2 folder.

Step 2:
_Create a folder named "local" into the Diablo2/data folder.

Step 3:
_put a little, little file named "use" into it. Just like that, "use",
without any extension.

Where to find this file? over there:

http://babebridou.free.fr/use.zip

extract the little "use" file (it's a 1 byte in size) and put it in the
aforementioned directory.

Step 4:
_using a shortcut to diablo2.exe, add the option "-direct".

Step 5:
_if you can read "Single Player", "Battle.net gateway xxxxx"... it works!

This should work with *any* non-US version. To switch back to the
previous language, remove the "-direct" from the shortcut.


The only problem is, it doesn't work with mods You have to remove them
first.

Then I tried the "-locale eng" command line parameter, and it worked for me.

First method: perfect (where did you get this tarabiscoted one?!)
Second method: no way (-actX works so I don't understand what's wrong)

What's the implication of -drect? More use of the CDROM?

Anyway, merci!

Where did you find that extremely frenglish word? :)

I can't find my sources right now (it's been almost half a year now),
but I think that had something to do with the "judgehype" french diablo2
community.


> Second method: no way (-actX works so I don't understand what's wrong)

Now that's strange:


"D:\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -locale eng -skiptobnet -title "#1"

is how my 1st instance shortcut looks like. When I replace the "-locale
eng" part with anything else, I get a french game.

> What's the implication of -drect? More use of the CDROM?

-direct tells diablo2 to go and fetch any game files in the "data"
folder rather than in the .mpq files.

mine is
"D:\Diablo IIf\Diablo II.exe" -locale eng

because I had to reinstall d2 when I bought the expansion (I had
D2classic in English) and created a new folder instead. I doubt that
this makes any difference...
