Path of Diablo isn’t flashy like your Median XL‘s or Eastern Sun’s, but it does a very good job of many changes to the base game without making Diablo II not feel like Diablo II. I’m sure that I’ll keep adding to this series over time as I get that renewed Diablo II feeling that always seems to swell over me. For those Mac users out there you can download this script and it will install it for you. However you will need to previously download the diablo 2 and diablo 2 Lod exes in a folder in /Users/profilename/.d2 Name each vanilla.exe and lod.exe respectively. Then run the instal script and follow the prompts that come up. So just to verify, if you installed the game into C: Program Files Diablo II, you want to select that as the D2SE install path, and the path to the Eastern Sun readme should be C: Program Files Diablo II MODS Eastern-Sun-Rises-master README.md. Now you just need to launch D2SE. 'Eastern Sun Rises 5.1' will be visible in the list. Path of Diablo is a Diablo II community server project that aims to to increase build diversity, improve replayability and add quality of life features with as few changes to the original experience as possible. A quick video showing how to install Diablo II and the Path of Diablo Mod.
