1.10 Beta D2 drop mod -- DOWNLOAD ME

Hehe.

Hmm, actually you don't have to change the name for Patch_D2.mpq everytime.
You can create a new folder in Diablo II, name it..say, "dropmod" or something.

Then Put the dropmod's Patch_D2.mpq in that newly created folder.

Make a new shortcut for Diablo II.exe, and right click > properties.

By default it would be:

Target: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" _________________________________________________ Start in: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II"

Change that to:

Target: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" _________________________________________________ Start in: "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\dropmod"

Or whatever new folder name you've chosen.

Then you can just run the new shortcut to play dropmod, the old one for Plain 1.10.

That should work for any mod...
