## Installation

1. Download **[Paradox](<https://themovingcaravan.com/diablo/sunrise/Paradox (0.2.7 Alpha).tar.xz>)**
   and Install **[Cactus](https://codeberg.org/fearedbliss/Cactus)**. The hash can be downloaded
   **[here](<https://themovingcaravan.com/diablo/sunrise/Paradox (0.2.7 Alpha).tar.xz.SHA512.txt>)**.
1. Copy the worldstone into **`Common/Worldstones`**.
1. Add a shard to Cactus that uses this worldstone and launches **`Game.exe`**
   with the flags set to **`-direct`**.
1. Click **`Summon`** and Enjoy <3.

## Uninstallation

1. Delete the worldstone from **`Common/Worldstones`**.
1. **`Destroy`** any shard in Cactus that no longer uses it.

## Includes

- Base Worldstone (1.10)
- Paradox (0.2.7 Alpha)
- MPQ Fix

## Known Issues

- The in-game native screenshot functionality doesn't work. You can work
  around this by setting the **`keyscreenshot`** value in **`ddraw.ini`**
  to **`0x2C`** (Print Screen). It will save your screenshots into the
  directory defined by **`screenshotdir`**.

## 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`**. Everything
  loaded properly after that.

- Removed **`glide3x.dll`** and **`glide-init.exe`**.

- The MPQ fix was applied to the mod's own **`Storm.dll`**.

	  to Cactus.
