DPatch 1.0  BETA TEST RELEASE
By LennyLen  15/02/02

DPATCH.EXE
~~~~~~~~~~

This beta release of DPatch runs from command-line only!

This means it can only be run from the DOS Prompt, or from the 'Run...'  command
on the Start Menu. Double-clicking on it's icon will result in an error!

The DPatch.zip file comes with a .mod file (monsters.mod) that can be used with 
DPatch, instructions for creating your own .mod files will come with later 
releases of DPatch.

The correct usage for DPatch is:
DPatch <modfile> <source> <target>

- modfile is the name of the .mod file you wish to use
- source is the .exe you are basing the mod on 
- target is the name you want for the mod .exe

eg. DPatch monsters.mod c:\diablo\diablo.exe c:\diablo\moddiab.exe

The original .exe (diablo.exe in the example) will not be altered in any way.
 
THE MONSTERS.MOD FILE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
NOTE - The monsters.mod file will only correctly patch diablo v1.09 
       Do NOT use it with any other version of Diablo.exe
       
The monsters.mod file turns on the monsters that have been turned of in the 
comercial release of the game. They will only appear on dlvl 1. All other dlvl 1 
monsters have been turned off. Some of these new monsters are rather tough, I 
wouldn't recommend sending young char's up against them :)
