Shortcut Commands List
====
Target Line Commands
These are commands that change some basic functions of the game. They must be in place when the program starts up. To enable these, go to the shortcut you use to start up Diablo II, right click, select properties, and view the target field. The default installation yields this:
"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe"
Add any commands after that, with a space between them. For instance:
"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w -act5
Here's a short list of the most useful commands. The full list (most of which are without function) can be seen below.
act#: New characters will appear in that act, at the preset level, with unspent skill and stat points.
-act1: Characters are level 1 in act 1. (Default setting.)
-act2: Characters are level 16 in act 2.
-act3: Characters are level 21 in act 3.
-act4: Characters are level 27 in act 4.
-act5: Characters are level 33 in act 5.
-nosave: Never saves the game.
-ns: Starts the game without sound.
-seed: Shows the game seed, based on the time of the game creation. Used in some mods and utilities to recreate that exact same game for replay.
-skiptobnet: Bypasses the introduction screens by starting the game at the Battle.net login screen.
-w: Runs Diablo II in windowed mode, at whichever resolution you have specified.
