## Includes

- Cactus Platform (1.10)
- D2Scrabble (7a)

## Installation

- Extract the platform into your **`Platforms`** Directory.
- Add an entry to Cactus called **`D2Scrabble (7a)`** that launches
  **`Game.exe`**, with the flags set to **`-mod D2Scrabble`**.

## 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 **`D2Scrabble.ini`**.
	- Added **`PlugY.dll`** to first position in **`LrdO.ini`**.
- Installed fresh copy of **`PlugY/`** directory from **PlugY 9.00** since
  the mod was missing these files, causing the game to crash at launch. I'm
  re-using the rest of the PlugY files provided by the mod.
- Removed **`glide3x.dll`** and **`glide-init.exe`**.
