D2 loader Problem

[Zionel]

Hi, my first post here

Yesterday i went and bought myself a 2nd copy of diablo very cheap. My plan is to rush mules to hellforge. I downloaded d2loader (latest version). Then i followed the instructions, meaning i copied the files from the CD and copied the d2loader file itself to my diablo directory. I never used d2loader before, so i guess there are no 1.10 plugins for me to remove. Then i executed the d2loader and nothing happend. Tried to rename the file to Diablo II.exe and it still wouldn't work. Im not getting any error messeges or anything, nothing happens. One thing happened tho, my firewall asked if it was ok to let this program access the internet (wich was asked for the original diablo II.exe when i installed the game too). Any suggestions on what is wrong and what i need to do? Thanks in advance. I

You are
1) Missing the required .mpq files needed to run d2loader
OR
2) Firewall is disabling you from opening such a program (did you choose "Allow" option when the message came up?

Only reasons i can think of.

Did you un-zip the zipped folder to your Diablo II Directory?

Bow:
1. I have all the 3 mpq files from the CD in my Diablo II folder. (Any more needed?)
2. I did allow the program to acess internet

Kyle:
I didn't unzip the file into my Diablo II folder, but i copied the .exe into my folder after i had unzipped it. Does that make any difference? (Maybe some hidden files or something?)

Thanks for trying to help out.

First, you only need 2 of the 3 mpq files, the music and video ones. Second, im not sure if there is a difference but thats what the readme says and thats how I did it.

Ok, i used -l to log whats happening when im starting the file, and this is what my log says.

"Error searching plugins" Anyone know how to solve this?
Do i need to make a folder called "Plugin" or something?

Never mind, firewall was messing it up. Turned off NIS and it worked properly. I downloaded the file from this site. I'm guessing/hoping that makes it 100% safe?, just need to be sure
