## Includes

- The Hordes of Chaos Beta Version (8.1)
- MPQ Fix

## 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. Therefore the mod is now **`Platinum`**. Documenting as an FYI.

- Renamed some files to allow D2Mod to function on Linux/Wine:
  - Renamed **`thoc.ini`** to **`D2Mod.ini`**.
  - Renamed **`thoc.mpq`** to **`D2Mod.mpq`**.

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