ATMA/GoMule/RWM etc - Help Thread

[:1]This thread provides support for all of the game alterations allowed in the SP(T)F. These are either unable to be used on bnet or will get you banned from there and our Realm trade forums. Always use a vanilla installation for Realm play/trading.

Other mods/mod-making isn't supported here, please use The Phrozen Keep for that. This forum will not assist with editors of any kind; asking for (help with them) results in a ban.

Please read the forum rules and Accepted Gameplay Rules for details on acceptable play in the SP(T)F. You may find the SPF FAQ and the D2 Terms and Abbreviations thread useful.

GoMule

Red Rune Mod (obsolete for 1.13)

Silospens Colour Rune Mod

Pretty much anything not listed above or in the Accepted Gameplay Rules. If in doubt, SPF Moderator for clarification and wait for a response before posting.



Links to supported mods, muling applications and utilities

These are things that make the life of an SPF'er easier and more fun. All .7z files are .zip files (you can rename them if you don't have 7zip.

Muling applications

This is a way of moving items around. It also allows a large number of items to be kept in stashes away from your D2 character. ATMA is the original muling utility, GoMule is a java-based utility that also works on Macs.

Both applications read each others files.

.d2s is save, .d2x is a stash file, .org are ATMA backups. If you rename .orgs to .d2s or .d2x (depending on what it is) you can open it in ATMA or GoMule. ATMA supports .d2i files but these should NOT be used. GoMule works better than ATMA with large (1000+ item) stashes.

ATMA - Installer download - guide

To get the Essences to show correctly in 1.13 download and install Misc1.13cATMA.7z and atma_gfxATMA1.13c.zip (both zip files). Replace the originals which come with the installer. Keep Tokens and Essences on Characters not Stashes in ATMA

GoMule - download and guide - The latest version of GoMule is here which works with 1.13. Tokens and Essences work fine in characters and stashes in GoMule



Symantec flagging ATMA as a virus/adware

It is a false positive. This post and this post shows how to get around it.

FAQ and Common Troubleshooting Issues

Q. I playing 1.09 Classic, and I have been muling items off into ATMA. Now, I can't move certain items back onto my characters.

A. Go to Options -> Game Edit and click on the "Character Link" tab. The last option (freeform) should be checked. If not, click on it and hit Apply.

Game Modifications

These change the game out of the box in some way. There are three which are accepted on the SPF:

RWM enables Bnet only runewords. RRM changes the colours of runes to red. CRM enables changing the rune colours to many different colours.

Remember that with 1.13 runes are orange.If you are updating to 1.13 from an installation which had RRM installed be sure to delete all the .bin files or you may not get the 1.13 drop rate for runes see here.

RWM for PC- download - Guide in download

RRM for PC - download - Guide

NOTE the .7z file is a .zip file with RWM/RRM conveniently packaged together. Just unzip that in the D2 folder as it is, change the shortcuts so they match the last photo in the guide and you should have BOTH RWM and RRM working.

Hey Huriel,

This one confused me for a while and in the end I repacked the MPQ's with the mods included so they'd work.

But recently, I found out how to do it without that.

3 important steps:

1) Install the mods in the normal way - Note you have to install RWM in the base dir, not a seperate one like the guide suggests.

So you should have something similar to:

D2 dir: /home/you/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo 2

RWM: /home/you/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo 2/data/global/excel/Runes.txt

RRM: /home/you/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo 2/data/local/lng/eng/expansionstring.tbl

/home/you/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo 2/data/local/lng/eng/patchstring.tbl

2) IMPORTANT: Cd to the base d2 directory: cd /home/you/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo 2

If you recall, windows has a box in shortcuts that says "run in". This is not present in Linux, the "run in" variable is taken from the current directory the terminal is in. This is the step I missed and without it, you won't be able to run the mods.

3)

wine Diablo II.exe -direct -txt -ns -w

(Or without the ns and w if you want sound and full screen )

Hope that works!

NOTES ON LINKS: If you find a broken link in any of the stickies, please drop a PM to the Mod of the forum. They'd appreciate it. |||When I try to change the Start In for RWM I get an error saying that the folder is not valid. What can I do to fix this?|||Are you trying to edit the Start In of a shortcut or the original icon? Try right clicking the original icon, send to desktop and edit the icon on the desktop. Use that to launch.|||I tried sending the original icon to the desktop and editing it, still didn't work. Also when I try to dl the .7z file it isn't showing up as a .zip file|||The .7z file is for RWM and RRM combined. Do you want that? For 1.13 you only want RWM because the runes are orange anyway.

Rename the .7z file to .zip. It is a zip file, I just prefer 7zip because it can handle other file formats and like the way it performs better than window unzip.

Are you running as administrator?|||I only want RWM. I'm using windowsXp and the user account has administrator access.|||Then just download the RRM.zip. Not the .7z file which (as it says in the first post) has them packaged together.|||Hey oh! It's fixed. Thanks for all the help. It even added the mods to my spirit automatically!|||Had a few PMs about this and there is a multi-instance .dll for 1.13c in the directory linked to in the first post of this thread.

Wasn't sure if it was uploaded correctly on Friday, so I've re-done it today.|||rwm for 1.13c is not needed, as they are orange now
