This post contains all the Diablo 2 game options and executable parameters that we are aware of, tested and untested.


Main menu or in the chat channels:

Ctrl+M
Turn music off/on (toggle)


In Game Options:

The following options are implemented by pressing the enter key in the game to bring up the chat screen. Except for "Players", deactivate the command by repeating it in the chat screen. These options can only be set in the game - they will not work in the channel or menu screens.

/FPS
Frame rate reporting
* Ping is one indicator of your connection speed on Battle.net. Lower numbers indicate less lag.
* Phys shows how much physical system memory is being used for the game.
* Page shows how much virtual memory is being used for the game.

/NOPICKUP
Disables clicking on the ground to pick up items unless you have the ALT key pressed.

/PLAYERS N
Sets the game difficulty to reflect a N player game (N = 1 to 8 ). (Single player only).

If any problems arise running in these modes, simply restart the game to turn these options off.


Diablo II. Exe Parameters (Command line options):

Add or edit parameters by clicking on the Diablo II shortcut on your desktop and choosing Properties. In the target box after the last quotation, press the space bar once and type in the parameter:

Example (To run Diablo in windowed mode):
The target line looks something like
"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe"

The target line should be edited to this:
"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w


Most Commonly used Parameters:

-mpq <*.mpq>
Choose which cdkey to use (For example, use cdkey1.mpq, cdkey2.mpq etc... keyfiles for running multiple Diablo 2 games)

-noplugin
Disable all installed plugins.

-ns or -nosound
Disable sound

-skiptobnet
Start the game at the Battle.net login screen

-title <s>
Set the Diablo window to <s> (a text string)

-w or -window
Run Diablo2 in window mode

Example:

If any problems arise running in these modes, just remove the command line extension.
