Help me?

I am trying to play 7L....after i've installed it i go to run it and nothing happens....the readme says that i need to download the d2loader v 1.09b but i dont' know where to find it....anyone have any suggetions??

The file you need to update Seven Lances is not there at the moment. We'll try to get it up there as soon as possible. What you need is this file: Seven_Lances_v1_27.zip

D2Loader is not needed. It's just a hack so you don't have to have your Diablo 2 Expansion CD in the drive when you play the game.

To play the 1.26 version you have to have Diablo 2 1.09d installed or something to convert your newer version to the old version. That's probably why it's not working for you.

Okie dokie thanks for the help...i'll get on that right away.



Edit:

So i downloaded v 1.27 and i still have the same problem...it says that v 1.27 will work for d2 v 1.12 so i am out of ideas

So i got it to work...all i had to was reinstall D2       but i have another question....i've run into a few unique monsters that are aura enchanted but there was no aura present...are the auras just hidden or is it a problem?

I couldn't say since I haven't installed it yet. I'd like to but I just don't have time right now.

Just so you know the proper install should be something like this.

- Install Diablo 2, the expansion and update it.
- Install Seven Lances 1.26b
- Install Seven Lances 1.27 by unzipping the files into the 1.26 folder. Make sure they go into the folder correctly and not into a new folder in that folder.

There is a good chance this won't work on Vista but that's just a guess.

Why would one need to install Seven Lances 1.26b first? I copied 1.27 over from the start and it's working smoothly.

Also, I know I've ran into several non-aura-having aura enchanted uniques before. I'm sure it's a bug in the mod.

[Zaranthos]

1.26b includes an installer that puts things where they belong and creates shortcuts to run the game correctly. It's not enough to run 7lgame.exe and expect it to work because it won't. Now I haven't even tried 1.27 so I don't know if it has any bugs or not. What I do know is that if you try to install 1.27 without installing 1.26b first you'll have to do a lot of manual configuration to even get it to work. I know the 1.26b shortcut actually runs this "C:\Program Files\Diablo IISeven Lances\RunModDirect.vbs" which is a script that sets up the MOD to work correctly. That's probably why you have auras not showing up along with other problems.

You guys should really watch your upgradeing. I just recently had my psp bricked cause I tried to download diablo,It showed a install screen and a upgrade screen when I first messed with it but then something called active "x" popped up and a degrade dialog box showed up as completed.
Are handhelds not ment for playin diablo2?

[Zaranthos]

Diablo 2 doesn't use any Active X stuff. Sounds like you got suckered into installing something bad.

Cute little chickens,but thats WoW.
Thanks for the reply. You made me feel real good about my internet actions.
I did get off the Active X thing just not the degradeing box.
