HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

To be able to create Diablo 2 closed game server one needs (beside d2gs): bnetd, d2cs and d2dbs. All three of them are part of PvPGN, which is open source and cross platform implementation of Battle.net server (not only for Diablo).

  1. Download D2GS and install it according to readme file (unpack it and copy needed Diablo 2 files).
  2. Import registry keys:
    $ iconv -f UTF16 -t UTF8 -o d2gs2.reg d2gs.reg
    $ regedit d2gs2.reg
  3. Launch regedit and make sure
    KHEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/D2Server/D2GS/EnableNTMode
    is set to zero.
  4. Launch D2GS:
    $ wine D2GS.exe
  5. If all is ok after a while one should be able to login into D2GS administration console using:
    $ telnet localhost 8888
    (default password is abcd123)
  6. Right now the server is not yet usable. It is required to set up bnetd, d2cs and d2dbs to be able to play. Please see Diablo 2 guide from PvPGN for detailed instructions.
WARNING

Right now, d2gs is not able to create any games, due to bug in Wine's winsock implementation.

There is an experimental patch for this problem in corresponding bug entry.

Working on old Wine versions
Danut Chereches has reported that D2GS is working with very old Wine versions, like 20041019. Although it is crashing at least once a day with 30 players.
