## Includes

- Cactus Platform (1.10)
- The Hordes of Chaos Beta Version (8.1)

## Installation

- Extract the platform into your **`Platforms`** Directory.
- Add an entry to Cactus called **`The Hordes of Chaos (8.1 Beta)`** that
  launches **`Game.exe`**, with the flags set to **`-mod thoc`**.

## Known Issues

- None

## Porting Fixes

- THOC will normally force save to the **`mods/THOC.dev/save`**
  directory in your Diablo II root folder. However, I've included a
  **`PlugY.ini`** file that sets **`ActiveSavePathChange`** to **`0`**,
  but allows the existing behavior to continue of allowing PlugY to
  fallback on its internal defaults. This allows Cactus to manage the
  folder.
