Zanny.. i just want to personally say thank you.... Everytime I have an issue with the majority of PD2 / Plugy related issues you have saved me. From how to install the loot filter correctly to this video here.. Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good fight
@@zannycakesgaming1986 Question. I have installed plugy pd2 last night. I think im going to make the switch perm because of the down servers and also the players x command. My issue is the stash box in plugy mod is smaller than PD2. Is there something I need to do to make this the normal PD2 stash size? My character inventory is correct though.
I don't think you can make your inventory the normal pd2 size. The biggest aspect of plugy is that it modifies the stash, so afaik youre kinda stuck with the plugy stash size.
@@zannycakesgaming1986 no biggie. They give alot of pages so its okay. Ive noticed a couple of things that doesnt work.. mainly shift clicks.. Now that ive gotten use them in PD2 multiplayer and now I dont have them its kinda bumming me out lol... But I think im making the move over to perm plugy pd2 solo.. The stash is amazing. MF is going to be crazy with setting Players to 8. Quick question.... Is there a certain cap for players command that maxes out my MF? Is it 8 players or less?
I had this problem until i deleted one of my backup copies of Diablo II folder. I think the plugy and mod were using that one as a base to load the game and not the one where the files were, maybe.
Worked like a charm 1. It works with my 1.13c which is what your PD2 should be 2. After you follow the steps in the vid, WAIT, plugy seems to take 5-10 seconds longer to load even on my SSD but it does load eventually
I have a problem I have done everything as is said in video the game is running but when i try to play my character i get "unable to enter the game. bad generic file" what is that mean?
had the same problem. i deleted all the savefiles and just keept the character file of my previous Project diablo character. if u had plugy in a previous diablo a sharedstash savefile was created. i think thats doing the generic bad file
Thanks bro! Love it! Got the 14.01 version because i used to have the 10.00v but it wouldn't load the characters saying " generic bad file "or something. Works now though
@@zannycakesgaming1986 I see you switched off of summoner druid. I switched to solo self found plugy pd2 because I was tired of muling. Thanks again for the tutorial!
Question, can old characters that I had created can also have the large stash feature. I tried doing this it worked however it did gave me the large stash feature on my characters
i think your diablo 2 installer are not from blizzard entertainment, same here. we need to buy a CD key from blizzard entertainment to proceed to that game
got same problem. running oryginal diablo and key but i just copied a folder with preinstaled game from other drive. pd2 alone runs ok but with pluggy i got an error
Before you install plugy first time must run pd2, hit play will update the game, once in go out listen good zanny indication and you will do just fine.
when running plugy the resolution is still the 1068-600 like pd2 gives you but compressed into the centre of the screen with black bars around the sides. any ideas?
Question for you guys. (using PlugY and D2SE )In single player your map typically does not reset and stays the same seed (for each difficulty it changes). I have recently ran into an issue after getting into Hell difficulty that my map now resets everytime I leave the game and come back. its a new map and I cant figure out why my map now decides to reset after I start a new game.. its a pita having to boss farm in single player now that I have to try to find the new location for bosses on every new game start up..
Well I got it installed correctly, but it deleted all the items in my stash that are on the lowest 5 rows. I guess that is because in PD2 You inventory has 5 more rows. just happened to be where I kept my runes.. Sad day.
Thank you for this. Do you know if it's possible to get the borderless windowed mode and keep it maximized? I have Param=-w -nofixaspect in the plugy config file and can manually maximize but it reverts back when save and exit. In vanila i was able to use sven glidewraper, is that useable with PD2?
I dont have a project D2 file. In your video I only have the files underneath the save file. Not sure why I'm missing that file. I downloaded D2 LOD from the b net website with a key because i purchased it a long time ago.
I also downloaded the retail version of d2 LOD from battle.net website. As for the Project D2 file, you have to download the pd2 launcher from projectdiablo2.com. Run the launcher and it does its thing and the pd2 files will be there. You can play pd2 with out plugy (singe player and online), and you can use plugy for D2 LoD (the retail version of d2) or PD2, single player only. But I'd imagine if the pd2 file isnt there at all, then you just need to download and run the pd2 launcher from projectdiablo2.com
@@zannycakesgaming1986 thank you. I keep running into version mismatch errors and incompatible graphics errors. I wonder if there is a place to download a ready to go diablo 2 file with the shared stash and such already set up?

I'm not sure why it would cause an issue with your sound. I have had sound issues with d2 that were due to discord, go into your windows sound settings, click on "advanced sound options" and make sure that diablo 2 isnt muted in there. thats about the only thing I can think of
Thanks for uploading this video, but it didn't work for me once I run Plugy.exe as administrator I get an unhandled exception and the game doesn't run with plugy. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?
You may need to edit your registry key for diablo 2. "win+R" --> "regedit" and hit enter --> "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II" --> find "InstallPath" right click and modify --> enter your diablo 2/ pd2/ plugy directory (where ever/ which ever diablo2 copy you have the plugy mod installed) and click "ok" ie. C:\Games\Diablo II\Diablo II - PD2 Plugy. Then try to start the game.
Also the default installation of PlugY seems to mess seriously with gameplay? My merc and shadow are suddenly getting slaughtered on players 1 where they had no issues before.
You're the best. I've been finding all this stuff single player like 'well, I can't transfer any of these cool new items or runes I've never found... Fuck.' HERO!
So far been playing solo self found for 3 days and I've already found a 2os CoA and a 44+ poison damage Death's Web. Also found Ohm and Vex. Been on a crazy run today
Yeah I’ve just been running nothing but ancient tunnels players 7 with perf topazed gear and also spamming Pindle runs. I’ve never found Dweb before today in all the years I’ve played and to have it roll really nice made my month 😁.
I honestly can't say. I'd think that it would be possible as you can use shitfest with plugy on vanilla d2 so it is very likely you can do it with pd2 as well. I haven't tried though.
Try installing the 1.13 patch for vanilla diablo 2 and see if that works. I cant remember which version I had installed for vanilla diablo 2 before plugY with pd2, but 1.13 might work out better for you. It's been a long time since I've played vanilla d2, prior to pd2 I spent quite a while on path of diablo
Hey thanks it worked :) but do you know why all items from the buttom are gone :( lost about the buttom 4 lines or something and they are also gone in the pd2 singeplayer now :(
@@pope9349 damn that sucks :( mine was not that important, a few set items and unique but still something i kept for use. tal belt was the most important thing i lost :)
Warning: The stash side in PD2 and in PlugY is different. So when you do this you will lose all the bottom 4 or 5 rows of your PD2 stash. So to avoid that, make sure to move all you items off these bottom rows to the top rows. I lost quite lots of my runes. But I'm only in A1 Nightmare, so its not a huge loss, but still I dont like that. Anyways, it has been working good so far. But when I play in PlugY, the message says "Player set to 1". The PD2 wiki said this "The current droprate is Players5", without actually scale up the difficuty. So what do I do now to get the same droprate as in PD2? I definitely dont want to sacrifice my droprate, considering its single player
to get the things back from the bottom rows log back in to single player pd2 via the pd2 launcher, not the plugy launcher and move stuff up in your stash or into your character inventory. Also you can change the "players set to 1" thing in single player pd2 with or without plugy. "players set to 1" in pd2 single player still has the same droprate as if you are playing by yourself in an online game. Plugy does not affect the gameplay/drop rate/exp gains in any way, it just modifies your stash and gives you the ability to reallocate stats/skills. if you change the player number in sp pd2 (with or without plugy) it will be as if people join your game. According to the devs, a full 8 player game on pd2 will have roughly player9 drops. so if you type /players 8 in single player, you will get drop rates similar to players 9 on vanilla. If you leave it on players 1 you will still see drops similar to players 5 on vanilla d2.
@@zannycakesgaming1986 "If you leave it on players 1 you will still see drops similar to players 5 on vanilla d2" - that would mean that PD2 drop rates have been massively increased compared to regular/Plugy D2, is that true? Previously only odd numbers (players 3/5/7) would affect the drop rates, wondering if it is the same here.
How viable is single player? I've been wondering if there are ladder specific runewords and such like D2 had. I don't always have internet connection and single player has been tempting, but I don't want to pour time into something that isn't viable.
How wll this work in the future when they update and change stats on items and runewords and also change numbers on skills to balance? Will it update those changes into my single player Plugy?
plugy just alters the stash and gives you the ability to reallocate stats/skills. Any patches/item changes/etc that happen with PD2 will still happen for the single player version. If you update PD2 via the PD2 launcher, those changes will carry over to single player and will work with plugy. That being said, if they update an item stats (for example say they make spirit add +2 skills again) you will have to remake the spirit. That is the case in both single player and multiplayer though. As far as the actual gameplay/patching/balancing/etc goes it doesn't matter if you have plugy installed or not. If pd2 changes something and you download the patch with that change, it will carry over.
@@zannycakesgaming1986 Sounds good man, thx for the answer :). Hope I can get it to run properly, would be nice to play at my own pace without the constant server crashes and cheaters wreaking havoc on the economy with dupes.
@@zannycakesgaming1986 What if I have PD2 with Plugy, but I would like to play multiplayer too? Won't the save files get mixed? Can I have two separate launchers: one for PD2 Plugy single player and the other for just PD2 multiplayer, but all within the same Diablo II instance? Or do I have to have two separate instances for that?
Has anyone taken down Dclone yet and not had Anni drop. I killed Dclone this morning only to be real upset when nothing dropped. Can anyone confirm that this is a glitch or had this happen?
**WARNING!** If you are adding plugY to a PD2 save file: you can lose 1/3 of your stash! PD2 stashes have 15 rows, PlugY uses the base game's 10. Loading in PlugY will wipe out everything in the bottom 5 rows. I loaded back in on PD2 afterward and the bottom 5 slots are empty. Lost a lot of mid-tier runes :( If anyone knows if this can be salvaged please let me know, but I think they're just gone.
if you have it set to players 1 you will get roughly p5 drops just like if you were solo online. if you change to p8 it will be like p9 as if you were in a full game online. plugy doesnt change anything regarding exp/drops/content/etc it just modifies the stash/gives you the ability to reallocate stats/skills. It is possible to spawn the vanilla dclone though lol
Does Plugy work on MP for PD2? If not I refuse to play Pd2 LOL. Sorry - they refuse multiple connections from same IP = no Mule item swapping = no thanks.
nah plugy is a single player mod only. I think it can be used on tcp/ip for multi player in a sense, but other than that you cant use it on bnet or the pd2 servers.
Now, we'r talkin. Thanks for the guide! Two questions tho: 1. will it mess up the current stashed items for my existing chars when I install it? 2. Will PD2 launcher update still be able to update the game?
anything in your stashes on pd2 single player need to be moved into your character inventory or moved up to the top 10 rows in your stash, since PD2 stash has 15 rows instead of the 10 that plugy has. And yes, pd2 launcher will still be able to update the game. launching the game via the plugy exe will not update the game, but launching it via the pd2 launcher will. If you update pd2 with the launcher, those changes will also carry over to single player with or without plugy. So yes the game will update/patch/all that fun stuff like normal as long as you run it through the pd2 launcher instead of the plugy one.
Wait man, I'm back in d2 from like 12-15years ago so I have no clue at all. Can I use plugy in project diablo 2 multiplayer? If I'm playing with my friend duo and we want more stash. Or do we have to wait for plugy being implemented into project diablo 2?(like hopefully and we as community can't do it?) Oh my god man, I'm sorry 1min later you talk about battle.net button not working :D. Thanks for info anyways :D
To anyone out there that struggles - here's your fix. Install d2 Install lod Install 1.14d patch (can find it on battle.net) Install project diablo 2 Install plugy, following the method in the video. To get this to work you MUST run PD2Launcher.exe ONCE. This will download all assets and stuff to make the game run properly. After this close, run plugy and be on your merry way.
Yes dude! I've been really hoping this mod gets Plugy support!
you can even add Enjoy-SP mod that slightly increased boss drops. useful if you don't have hours and hours to spend on mf grinding for one little unique

plugy just alters the stash and gives you the ability to reallocate stats/skills. Any patches/item changes/etc that happen with PD2 will still happen for the single player version. If you update PD2 via the PD2 launcher, those changes will carry over to single player and will work with plugy. That being said, if they update an item stats (for example say they make spirit add +2 skills again) you will have to remake the spirit. That is the case in both single player and multiplayer though. As far as the actual gameplay/patching/balancing/etc goes it doesn't matter if you have plugy installed or not. If pd2 changes something and you download the patch with that change, it will carry over.
@@zannycakesgaming1986 Sounds good man, thx for the answer :). Hope I can get it to run properly, would be nice to play at my own pace without the constant server crashes and cheaters wreaking havoc on the economy with dupes.
@@zannycakesgaming1986 What if I have PD2 with Plugy, but I would like to play multiplayer too? Won't the save files get mixed? Can I have two separate launchers: one for PD2 Plugy single player and the other for just PD2 multiplayer, but all within the same Diablo II instance? Or do I have to have two separate instances for that?
Has anyone taken down Dclone yet and not had Anni drop. I killed Dclone this morning only to be real upset when nothing dropped. Can anyone confirm that this is a glitch or had this happen?
I haven't killed dclone yet myself in single player or online, so I can't confirm. I would have to imagine that is a glitch.
@@zannycakesgaming1986 Read more into it and apparently anni is not a 100% drop
Not so sure that's twice today i've killed dclone without a anni dropping. I have a bad feeling that Anni may be glitched on SP plugy PD2
**WARNING!** If you are adding plugY to a PD2 save file: you can lose 1/3 of your stash! PD2 stashes have 15 rows, PlugY uses the base game's 10. Loading in PlugY will wipe out everything in the bottom 5 rows. I loaded back in on PD2 afterward and the bottom 5 slots are empty. Lost a lot of mid-tier runes :( If anyone knows if this can be salvaged please let me know, but I think they're just gone.
Will all content from multiplayer be available? Runewords, maps, dungeon, uber?
yes
what are your shader specs? yours looks so much more clear and nice than mine lol
.exe .dll .ini files missing from download what did I do wrong? Haha can’t even get past the first step
Will this get you banned? Since its a 3rd party software?
One question bro, is it player 5x drop rate , or i need to command x players? 😊 tnx
if you have it set to players 1 you will get roughly p5 drops just like if you were solo online. if you change to p8 it will be like p9 as if you were in a full game online. plugy doesnt change anything regarding exp/drops/content/etc it just modifies the stash/gives you the ability to reallocate stats/skills. It is possible to spawn the vanilla dclone though lol
@@zannycakesgaming1986 tnx bro soo much 😊 peace
where did you get the folder ProjectD2 folder ?
Thanks alot dude! You're awsome
Does Plugy work on MP for PD2? If not I refuse to play Pd2 LOL. Sorry - they refuse multiple connections from same IP = no Mule item swapping = no thanks.
nah plugy is a single player mod only. I think it can be used on tcp/ip for multi player in a sense, but other than that you cant use it on bnet or the pd2 servers.
This was made for me - Kokanee
you know it buddy :D
Now, we'r talkin. Thanks for the guide! Two questions tho: 1. will it mess up the current stashed items for my existing chars when I install it? 2. Will PD2 launcher update still be able to update the game?
anything in your stashes on pd2 single player need to be moved into your character inventory or moved up to the top 10 rows in your stash, since PD2 stash has 15 rows instead of the 10 that plugy has. And yes, pd2 launcher will still be able to update the game. launching the game via the plugy exe will not update the game, but launching it via the pd2 launcher will. If you update pd2 with the launcher, those changes will also carry over to single player with or without plugy. So yes the game will update/patch/all that fun stuff like normal as long as you run it through the pd2 launcher instead of the plugy one.
@@zannycakesgaming1986 yup, learned about the stash the hard way :p thanks for the reply Man ;)
This helped alot! Thanx =)
ive done everything.. still doesnt work T_T
Thanks for the video!
thanks man. really helpfull.
Wait man, I'm back in d2 from like 12-15years ago so I have no clue at all.
Can I use plugy in project diablo 2 multiplayer? If I'm playing with my friend duo and we want more stash.
Or do we have to wait for plugy being implemented into project diablo 2?(like hopefully and we as community can't do it?)
Oh my god man, I'm sorry 1min later you talk about battle.net button not working :D.
Thanks for info anyways :D
Thank you great video.
Damn I must be an idiot, this working fine on the base game but not Project Diablo 😮💨 Uninstall Plugy and reinstall?
you are the man !
it works, thanks.
you are the man, thanks
Omfg bruh tnx soo much 😊 Gg wp!
youre welcome :) hope it is helpful
@@zannycakesgaming1986 of course bro, i am crushing as frenzybarb atm like crazy 😊
To anyone out there that struggles - here's your fix.
Install d2
Install lod
Install 1.14d patch (can find it on battle.net)
Install project diablo 2
Install plugy, following the method in the video.
To get this to work you MUST run PD2Launcher.exe ONCE. This will download all assets and stuff to make the game run properly. After this close, run plugy and be on your merry way.
Big thx man!!!
Youre welcome :) Glad you found it helpful
for me it worked by NOT running as admin
Good stuff!!
Why does your game look so good? Mine looks like ass
Does it work for ladder characters?
