The process to setup the launcher should be simple and straight forward, but here's how to do it:
- Step 1: Download and Install the .NET Desktop Runtime 7.0 which is required for the app to run.
- Step 2: Download D2RLaunch from D2RModding, then drag the D2RLaunch folder from the downloaded .zip to your Desktop or other convenient location.
- Step 3a: Browse to the Launcher folder and run D2RLaunch.exe.
- Step 3b: Depending on your version, an update notification may appear in the bottom left of the app.
- Step 4: Click the Download New Mod button and select your desired mod from the dropdown box.
- Step 5: View the QoL Options and other settings to customize things to your liking.
- Step 6: Press the Play Mod button to start the mod with your chosen configuration and enjoy!
*You may need to run the launcher as Administrator and/or exclude the folder from your Antivirus
**For any issues or questions, please reach out in our Discord
In order to fully support the various features of this launcher, some additional steps will be needed from you.
Some features will require your permission to use, additional files provided or mod download/community links.
As mentioned, no coding is needed for any of these customizations and the instructions are outlined below.
All of the D2RLaunch customizations are determined by this file, since it is included/required by your mod already.
With that said, please edit your modinfo.json file using the following template, being sure to respect the line counts.
The launcher will compare the players file to the web file to determine mod version status and control features/info.
Change your enabled/disabled options as desired (Expect the Option Controls to be updated in future releases)

In order to provide downloading, updating and configuration changes to be made dynamically by the launcher, we need to setup proper links.
For a proper link, it needs to be both static and direct.
- Static - This means when the file has been updated/replaced, the link itself does not change
- Direct - This means that when the link is clicked, the file is downloaded directly, not a webpage button download
To setup a link that satisfies both of these requirements, you can use services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Github, Amazon S3, etc. Provided below are instructions for some of them I have used previously or currently:
- Github - Click the green Code button, then right-click the Download Zip option and select Copy Link Address
- Google Drive - Copy your google provided link into this Online Generator to convert it to a static-direct link.
When updating the file, you must use the File Properties > File Information > Manage Versions method - Dropbox - Replace the &dl=0 at the end of your dropbox provided url with &dl=1
The First time you upload modinfo.json, you will need to use a dummy config link, because you havnt uploaded it yet
I recommend adding your mod to the Mod Database, which allows players to easily view and install your mod.
As long as you follow the above linking rules, then the links provided in your modinfo.json file will never need to be updated between mod or config changes!
For some features, additional files must be provided to D2RLaunch, due to the variety of changes/complexity.
As an example, the Event Manager cannot host Special Events if it has no instructions or files provided for this task.
Any feature that is optional or requires file-safekeeping will use a new D2RLaunch folder in your mod directory.
Each feature will be placed in it's own subfolder within it, following these rules:
Runeword Menu Sorting: Utilizes a folder named Runeword Sort and may contain up to 6 files:
- runewords-ab.json / helppanelhd-ab.json: Used to display the runewords sorted Alphabetically
- runewords-it.json / helppanelhd-it.json: Used to display the runewords sorted By ItemType
- runewords-lv.json / helppanelhd-lv.json: Used to display the runewords sorted By Required Level
helppanel files are optional if you've chosen to replace it with your runeword menu (quick-access)
UI Theme: Utilizes a folder named UI Theme and should contain 2 folders (for now):
- Retail: Used to display your own modified UI, based on the Retail Theme.
- ReMoDDeD: Used to display the heavily customized UI, based on the ReMoDDeD mod.
Buff Icons: Utilizes a folder named Buff Icons and should contain X files (explained below, not yet complete):
- Skill_Names.txt: Used to provide the launcher with your mods list of buff skills (if different from retail).
- Preview_SkillName.png: For each custom buff icon you have, include an image the launcher can use for it.
Custom Mod/App Logo: Looks for a file named Logo.png to be used in the top left of D2RLaunch.
The size of the logo can vary to your liking, but I recommend something around 200x200 or so.
Merged HUD: Contains the needed files for the Merged HUD Option:
As previously mentioned, some folders will be created automatically by the launcher, mostly for file-safekeeping:
- Customizations: Created to store unedited copies of the armor, misc, weapons, levels and treasureclass txt files.
This is needed for the Monster Customizations options to work correctly. - Monster Stats: Created to store edited copies of the monster hp bar layout files, for various option displays.
This is needed for the Monster Stats option to work correctly.
To update your mod or config files, simply replace the .zip or .json file used in w/e you service chose in Step 2.
If you followed those instructions carefully, then the link does not need updating and your edits are immediately live.
When D2RLaunch goes to download the mod or access the config file; it will retrieve the updated version(s).
You can use this to dynamically update mod files, allowed features, news messages, app logo, etc.
Keep in mind that you are pushing data to the web, and the launcher is automatically pulling that data down.
In order to fully utilize this app, or receive staff support, some requirements must be met.
- .NET Desktop Runtime 7.0: This program is included in the D2RLaunch download, but can also be found via the Microsoft website. It is needed to run the program itself.
- C++ Redistributable 2015-2022: This program is included in the D2RLaunch download, but can also be found via the Microsoft website. It is needed to perform CASC Extraction of internal game storage.
- Windows OS: This is the only supported Operating System for the launcher, although emulation layers may also work for it (WINE, Lutris, etc)
- Battle.Net Purchased: This program is only intended for and actively tries to be restricted to, legally purchased D2R copies. If you want to support modding, then purchase the game!
- Code Base: This program was designed using C# and WPF. I am a novice coder, so expect inconsistencies, inefficiencies and general issues.
- D2RHUD.dll: This file is used to enable hotkey controls and advanced monster stats display options (Source)
- CASCLib.NET.dll: This file is used to enable file extraction from your internal game storage (Source)
This app was made because I am passionate about helping everyone get the most out of their D2R experience.
I put much effort into making it easy, open and powerful, while balancing it with author intentions/efforts.
So thanks for everyones patience and support during this free-time side project of mine; some final words on it:
To The Players:
Enjoy the many new QoL features, mod controls and hassle-free modding that comes with using D2RLaunch.
I know sometimes the worst part about modding, can be dealing with all the frustration and confusion around them.
I also know that everyone likes to play just a little bit differently, and noone can say no to some added QoL.
So I hope this app helps fill in a large gap of what may have been missing from your mod experience.
To The Authors
Enjoy what I hope is a very simple, code-less method to control the launchers various systems to your liking.
I know sometimes it can be frustrating dealing with so many files, troubleshooting with your community, etc.
I also know that many of the same features get requested by players or wish were included by default.
So I hope this app helps provide some of that to your player-base; letting them enjoy your mod even longer.
To The Developers
I respectfully request that you help improve this project rather than fork it, if you wish to modify it.
Much effort was made to allow authors control of the launcher in a dynamic fashion, without coding needed.
I wish for it to be open and hope you might be convinced to help improve it further.
With that said; a standard GPL License has been attached to this project.
In order for build deployment, you will need to provide your own Licenses/API Keys for the following services:
SyncFusion: Used for various form controls and library functions
Google Sheets: Used to retrieve the Mod Listing from the Mod Database and update the Download Dropdown
File should be named appSettings.json and placed in the Resources folder. An example file has already been included.
Special thanks to the following people or groups for their help along this project's journey so far:
- Ethan-Braddy for helping convert this project from WinForms to WPF, improving stability/performance
- Dschu012 for being there to answer my dumb questions and D2RHUD's base implementation
- D2RModding Community for being patient, supportive and assisting with bug-reports or improvements
