DevilutionX Guide

Guide Author: MewLew

NOTE: You’ll need access to the data from the original game. If you don’t have an original CD, you can buy Diablo from GoG.com or Battle.net. Alternatively, you can use spawn.mpq from the shareware [2] version, in place of DIABDAT.MPQ, to play the shareware portion of the game.

Extracting Game Assets

1. Navigate to your Diablo Hellfire installation directory.
2. Locate and copy the following files to your desktop:
   • Diabdat.mpq
   • Hellfire.mpq
   • Hfmonk.mpq
   • Hfmusic.mpq
   • Hfvoice.mpq
3. Compress all the files into a single ZIP file.

Internal Setup

1. Launch DevilutionX to initialize the required folders.
   • The app will display a message stating that files are missing.
   • Quit the app:
     • Press the Xbox button, hover over DevilutionX, press Start, and choose Quit.
2. Upload your ZIP file:
   • Open the Dev Portal.
   • Navigate to File Explorer > Local App Data > DevilutionX.
   • Go to the Local State folder.
   • Navigate to the following subdirectories:
     • diasurgical > devilution.
   • Click Choose File, locate your ZIP file, and click Upload.
3. Launch DevilutionX, and you’re ready to play.

Additional Notes

• In the same folder where you uploaded your game files, there is a configuration file named diablo.ini.
  • You can edit this file with a text editor (e.g., Notepad) to customize controls or settings.
  • Once modified, re-upload the file to the same directory.
