## Includes

- Cactus Platform (1.10)
- Le Royaume des Ombres (5.00)
- Le Royaume des Ombres (5.03 Update)

## Installation

- Extract the platform into your **`Platforms`** Directory.
- Add an entry to Cactus called **`Le Royaume des Ombres (5.03)`** that
  launches **`Game.exe`**, with the flags set to **`-mod LrdO`**.

## Notes

- This mod is available in three languages, and can be easily switched between
  by changing the **`SelectedLanguage`** section in **`PlugY.ini`**. Change the
  value as follows:

	- French = **`FRA`**
	- English = **`ENG`**
	- Chinese = **`CHI`**
	
  I can't test this since I only have an English installation, and am missing
  some files. However, with the **English** installation, I was still able to
  successfully test the **French** version though.

- Do not use glide with this mod, or you may experience slowness or other
  issues. The normal DirectDraw mode should work smoothly.

## Known Issues

- None

## Porting Fixes

- The mod normally depends on another launcher for its hooking mechanism. I used
  the **`D2ModSetup.bat`** included in **`D2Mod102`** to patch the
  **`D2gfx.dll`** on **`1.10`** so that it loads **`D2Mod.dll`**. Once that was
  done, I rewired the rest of the system by:
	- Renaming **`D2Mod.ini`** to **`LrdO.ini`**.
	- Removed **`pSpell.dll`** from **`PlugY.ini`**.
	- Added **`PlugY.dll`** to first position in **`LrdO.ini`**.
	- Added **`D2Dreamland.dll`** to second position in **`LrdO.ini`**.
	- Added **`pSpell.dll`** to third position in **`LrdO.ini`**.
- Changed default language from **French** to **English** by changing the
  **`SelectedLanguage`** from **`FRA`** to **`ENG`** in **`PlugY.ini`**.
- Removed **`glide3x.dll`**.
- Since Cactus isn't responsible for applying patch updates from multiple MPQ
  files, I've merged the **`Patch_LrdO.mpq`** into **`LrdO.mpq`**, and that
  worked perfectly since we have no unknown files. Thanks for providing the
  listfiles, Xaphan. Much appreciated!
