[BETA] D2Driver - the alternative game manager

lord2800 · **Joined:** Fri Jul 05, 2002 8:51 pm **Location:** /sbin/

As those of you who hang around IRC know, I've been working on an alternative game manager for quite some time now. I've finally gotten it semi-stable and what I would consider feature-complete. For now. So I'm deciding to beta test it to a wider audience.

Download: here

And once again, NEW VERSION!
This version is the culmination of the basic featureset. There is only one more feature I will be adding to the core of D2Driver before I revamp the entire UI--key switching. After I add that and revamp the UI, I will be adding plugin support, so everyone's pet features can be included without hassle or waiting on me to get around to it. And I'll likely be pushing lots of features out of the core of D2Driver and into plugins.

Anyway, READ THE README if you are upgrading from a previous version.

Code: Select all

D2Driver
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D2Driver is an alternative game manager for D2BS. It focuses on simplicity
and ease of use over features and flashy GUI. It sports a clean layout, a
profile and settings editor (to simplify the installation process), and a
new starter script.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy the contents of the zip file into your D2BS directory. That's it!
Everything else is handled automatically. D2Driver will pick up on your
existing settings and profiles.

NOTE: If you are updating from an older version, you MUST click "Edit
Profile"--I moved a bunch of the settings into D2Driver, which means that
they have to be re-initialized in order for things to work. If you do not
do this, then you will see an error that says "Invalid mode".


RUNNING INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open D2Driver.exe, select the profile tab you want to run (you can run
multiple profiles at the same time if you wish), click the enabled checkbox
(if necessary), and click start. The rest should Just Work(TM).


SCRIPT MANAGER INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The script manager allows you to keep up to date with your script. When
you click on the Manage Scripts button a new window pops up and displays
available scripts and existing scripts in two list boxes. Highlighting an
available script and clicking on "Check out" will download the script and
put it in your D2BS folder. That moves the script to the other list box--
the Current scripts list. Highlighting a Current script and clicking on
"Update" will update that script. Using these two mechanisms, managing
scripts is as easy as a single click.

Nice work! I'm having more luck with yours than Bobode.

One FYI: Do not add -skiptobnet or login with fail.
One question: On occassion (2 out of 3), I do get "Diablo II must be frozen, missed 5 heartbeats in a row! Restarting..." during the Baal script. Is there something I can do or this is due to the length of script? I know nothing about programming so this is merely my own reasoning.

Only a few runs so more testing is needed.

Once again, thank you!

Should we expect hide, CDkey etc. :-p

I also get the "Diablo II must be frozen, missed 5 heartbeats in a row! Restarting..." error. And even though I click the red "X" at the top the D2driver.exe process is still showing... Didn't do a successful run with it yet. Awaiting the next version !

This is now fixed. New version with more features and extra chewy goodness.

[EDIT] Updated minor forgotten setting in the starter.dbj file. If you downloaded it just now, update it from the link in the first post again.

[EDIT 2] Fixed a script warning and added a missing dependency. Whoops. Redownload again. Last time, I swear.

Is there a way to use multiple CDkeys with this?

would it be possible to get a rapidshare mirror? or any kind of mirror for downlaods? this assembla thing that is hosting the d2driver terminates your connection after a sertine time..... makes it hard to dl on dialup. well makes it impossible.

Much appreciated!

Got prob.

I had installed d2bs with oog (the newest one)...

i copied all files to "OOG with 1.1.2" folder and than starter.dbj and libs to the same folder.

When bot starts he says got no config. I set config but which DLL i use ?

I thought about cguard.dll but not sure.

thanks

If you're running on 1.12, then yes, you use cGuard.dll. If it's the PTR, then use d2bs113.dll.

First off, make sure that you placed the starter.dbj in the "scripts-ntbot" folder, and the gamemanager.dbj in the "libs" folder. After that's been done, aldo add the following to the d2bs.exe.config...

Code: Select all

<add key="LoadDelay" value="1000" />
