Diablo 2 Exp File list

__BANNED USERS regular
Anyone have a list of the Diablo 2 exp files. No mods no add-ons. I'm trying to install a mod but it requires there be no add-on files and or other mods, which I have a shit ton of.

It's possible people don't want to go to the effort of listing out every single file.
I'm kinda thinking there should be a way to get your CD-key from a currently installed copy. You could look into that, and then download the game from blizzards website.
Also, many mods will replace the d2patch file, so you might have to reinstall in any case.
'What: Outputs the contents of the directory it is currently being run ' from to a text file named DirectoryTree.txt. Recurses through ' all subfolders of the working directory. 'Note: The script and the output file will appear in the directory tree ' so you may want to edit them out once it is finished. set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") strFolder = objFSO.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName) set tree = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strFolder & "\DirectoryTree.txt", True) set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolder) tree.WriteLine(objFolder.Name & "\") set colFiles = objFolder.Files for each objFile in colFiles tree.WriteLine("| " & objFile.Name) next RecurseSubFolders "+---", "| ", objFolder sub RecurseSubFolders(indent, indent2, objFolder) set colFolders = objFolder.SubFolders for each objSubFolder in colFolders tree.WriteLine(indent & objSubFolder.Name & "\") set colFiles = objSubFolder.Files for each objFile in colFiles tree.WriteLine(indent2 & "| " & objFile.Name) next RecurseSubFolders indent2 & "+---", indent2 & "| ", objSubFolder next end SubSome sample output (just my etc/ folder from my cygwin install), again, spoilered cos it's kinda big.
It's not really the prettiest thing ever, but I'm pretty happy with it. Also, I am aware that you could just copy and paste the results from a tree /f in the command prompt, but it only lets you scroll up so far. The script allows you to view large trees in their entirety (Unless there's some way to do it via the command line that I don't know of, which is probably likely and would make me writing this pretty redundant).
So if someone wants to run this against their D2 directory (apparently I don't have it installed anywhere, and my disks are at home) and give this dude the results, go for it. And if you don't, well at least I had some fun.
If you have a clean copy of the game in a backup folder, then:
Go into your current D2 install, copy the folder(s) with your saved characters to somewhere else. Copy & paste the entire contents of the backup folder into the current D2 folder, let it replace everything - as someone has said already, many (all?) mods don't add extra files, they modify the existing ones.
After the paste, copy the saves folder back, run the game, and connect to Battle.net once so you get the latest patch. Problem solved. I've done this a couple times myself when i've screwed up.
If there are any extra files by some chance, just open up the backup folder and the current install side-by-side and do a simple visual comparison - there aren't that many files, any extras should be very apparent.
Why wont anyone do this it's maybe 25 files if not less? Here I'll write a list of what I have and you can pick out what doesn't belong.

Please don't post with a suggestion of another way to get this done. Either post your files or comments on these files.
Also, thanks guy for writing that script now someone run it!
Care to explain why it won't work? Seems to me like a perfectly reasonable solution. As was mentioned, some mods make changes to existing files, not just creating new ones (though they may do that as well). So if you have a file that's been edited it's quite possible it won't work with whatever mod you're trying to add.
As Daenaris, myself, and others have said now....lots of mods make changes to the base files (patch_d2 almost certainly, and probably others), so there is more than likely no way to remove all your mods without doing a reinstall.
You might (MIGHT) be able to just delete patch_d2, then re-run the latest patch from Blizzard and be clear if you're lucky...It's been a long time since I messed with any of that, and I have no idea if that'll work for sure.
Frankly, nobody is getting too excited about giving you help because you're coming across as a bit lazy and rather unpleasant - you've gotten a few different ways to solve the problem already, but you seem upset that it's going to involve more than just tapping delete a few times.
I even made it easy for someone to just compare their files to mine. Yes I am trying to make this as simple as possible why wouldnt I?
So can someone just post their files or compare to mine?
Edit. Look some dude just wrote a script that one of you could easily run.
Yes... and as several people here are trying to explain, just deleting the files that don't belong is very possibly not going to be good enough, because other files that are supposed to be there may have been edited from their original state by some of the mods you've installed. So when the next mod you install tries to patch them it's going to fail because it's expecting an unmodified file. Your best option is going to be to find the CD key and download/reinstall from scratch so you are sure you have a clean install with no mods. At that point you should make a backup of the installed files so you can replace them later on if need be.
I'm at work, and don't currently have my Diablo 2 installed at home, so can't give you a list of files. Sorry.
You're not getting it - someone posting their file list isn't going to help you. I'm not at home right now, but offhand (and with a couple Google searches), every single file in the list you posted is always there except for D2Loader and possibly D2CustomTbl.
Yet again, It is almost 100% certain that one or more of the base files have been altered, which is going to leave you SOL without a reinstall or some sort of uninstaller from the mod maker.
Whether you want to or not, this+reinstall is probably your only option other than buying new CDs.
Some of us are at work and don't have access to our gaming PCs. And for the umpteenth time, it probably wouldn't help you at all anyway.
If it was that easy for you to find it on Google why don't you throw me a link to this site.
Also I realize this may not help so telling me this for the umpteenth time isn't going to help. Now that I think about it, I've never installed any mods it's just been loader and loader based programs.
I also tried running a copy of Diablo in a separate folder one file at a time, which didn't work. This also takes forever because of the time it takes to copy the .mpq files to another folder.
Thanks for the help and suggestions but if you could just answer the original question that'd be nice.
If you're too lazy to do that, do the legal thing and buy the damned game. It's not exactly expensive anymore and you can buy it from the online Blizzard store. You've already gotten plenty of help, as stated before.
As you suspected a simple "tree /f /a > DirectoryTree.txt" gets you the exact same results. But still, it's good VB practice.
Maybe you missed the part where both of us said we were at work. What, exactly, happened to your original CDs anyway? Did you even buy the game in the first place?
You seem to be a mite too reluctant to just dig out your keys and download for someone that actually has a legit copy, unless you're on an ancient dialup - which if that is the case, you should have mentioned right after the first time someone suggested it. You could have had the game downloaded a few times over by now.
You're being a jerk, sorry.
You can just Google the filename(s), and make inferences from the resulting pages which is all I did. If I had a link to a file list I could give you, I would have posted it a couple hours ago and avoided this whole lovely back-and-forth, believe me.
We already did. Even the D2Loader program requires replacing a base EXE file, so unless you kept clean backups, you continue to be SOL without doing a reinstall or otherwise getting an original file. This will not change no matter how much you complain about it.
Lol don't get too mad.
So you googled the filename and found the list but you cant give me the link.
I didn't find a full list, you lazy git. I Googled "D2CustomTbl" and inferred from looking at the pages about installing some random mod that came up that it might not be part of the default install, but I wasn't sure.
You've gotten several perfectly workable solutions already, but if you don't want to take the advice...You're the one that installed a "shit ton" of mods without backing up anything and no apparent idea about what they changed, so have fun figuring it out, i'm done
Anyways, your CD keys can be found in your install folder somewhere, I forget where. We didn't know you had no space on your computer, you never mentioned it. Other dude explicitly mentioned that he DID NOT find a full list of the files, he just googled a couple of the filenames. Go google it yourself and figure it out.
Thanatos Edit: Nice RickRoll. Hope it was worth it.
