Keeping two D2 screens open at once? - The Mob - 07-26-2008

is it possible to keep two d2 screens open simultaneously?
i know that you can have two instances of d2 running at once with d2 loader.
what i really want is to have both d2 loaders open at once, and not one minimized while playing on the other.

it would be nice for dual monitoring and other stuff

whoops.. please disregard this.. i found the answer already >_<

ok as for instructions.

i hope you know how to fill the cdkeys.
first make a cdkeyx.mpq for each set of keys you have.

then make multiple shortcuts on your desktop for each one.

right click on the short cut and make them look like this
key one
target: "D:\Games\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -mpq cdkey1.mpq -title "1"
key two
target: "D:\Games\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -mpq cdkey2.mpq -title "2"
key three
target: "D:\Games\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -mpq cdkey3.mpq -title "3"

your d2 folder will be somewhere else so make sure you get it right. the important part is the -mpq cdkeyx.mpq part after the game location. also if you want each window to have a different title type anything in the quotes after the -title

if you want it windowed use -w and if you dont want the window to minimize use -nohide after the -w

The -nohide command tells that particular instance of Diablo II to stay open even if you click out. I usually have at the most three open at once.
