Cactus Porting Database

Post by fearedbliss »

This page contains a list of mods and their status in Cactus.

Compatibility means that the game can be launched with Cactus and there are no major issues. Please read the "Known Issues" section for any mod you play and make sure that it still works correctly with the rest of your Cactus platforms, modded or not. The lists are displayed in alphabetical order.

For mod authors: Please take a look at my Cactus Porting Initiative post for ways to contact me if needed.

The Original Mod Source Archives that I used to create the platforms can be found at the referenced link. They can be used to either audit the files that I'm distributing (or others), allow people to help experiment with porting them to Cactus, or just as a way to have an additional mirror to assist with preservation.

Incompatibilities
-------------
- The game needs to allow launching directly from the Diablo II root directory.

The game currently uses a nested launcher located in es300r/es300r_launcher.exe.

- The game needs to allow the game to run normally without the CD.

The game tries to implement its own (or supporting) DRM by checking for the CD.
