DevilutionX is a port of Diablo and Hellfire that strives to make it simple to run the game while providing engine improvements, bugfixes, and some optional quality of life features.

Installation

Note: You'll need access to the data from the original game. If you don't have an original CD then you can buy Diablo from GoG.com. Alternately you can use the shareware version, to play the shareware portion of the game.

First, you will need access to the game's MPQ files:

• Base game - Locate diabdat.mpq on your CD, or GoG installation, or extract it from the GoG installer.
• Shareware version - Use spawn.mpq instead.
• Hellfire expansion - You will also need hellfire.mpq, hfmonk.mpq, hfmusic.mpq, hfvoice.mpq.
• Chinese, Korean, and Japanese users will also need fonts.mpq or the text will be missing.
• For Polish voice support you need pl.mpq.
• For Russian voice support you need ru.mpq.

How to setup:

• Install devilutionx.vpk.
• Copy the MPQ files to ux0:/data/diasurgical/devilution/.
