Greetings,
How to install PlugY for Diablo 2 version 1.13d Because this is for an outdated version of Diablo 2, if you also want to play Battle.net, you will need two separate installations. Additionally, there has been a third-party update of PlugY for 1.14d (the current latest version of Diablo 2).
I’m posting this to share the settings I’ve found using Sven’s Glide Wrapper which works well with Diablo 2/LoD. These settings were found on the original forums. This applies to the classic Diablo 2(2000)/Lord of Destruction(2001) game, not Diablo 2:Resurrected.
Diablo II I have been trying over and over, for 2 weeks to get this mod to work and I cannot. I was able to get PlugY working at some point but not together with Single Player Enhancement. I have installed Diablo II 1.12 and then D2SE, which allows me to play my single player game with Plugy (I play on version 1.13c). Now I want to add an item filter. I've found this reddit post http.
It is a piece of software that translates the Glide API commands to be recognized by OpenGL/DirectX, allowing modern graphics cards to run older games that use Glide for 3D acceleration.
Here is a Wikipedia article for more information about 3DFX Interactive.
Diablo 2 offers three graphics modes, DirectDraw, Direct3D and Glide. Diablo 2 was meant to run optimally with Glide.
DirectDraw is the default graphic mode that anyone without the wrapper will be using, and it has a few problems.
If you run full screen, it doesn’t maintain the 4x3 aspect ratio, so on modern wide screen monitors it gives the game a wide stretched look.
If you run windowed, the mouse isn’t locked to the game window, if you accidentally click outside of the game window, it minimizes. Gamma and brightness sliders don’t work, neither does perspective.
It is hit or miss on working properly depending on your graphics card and/or drivers.
Direct3D is also hit or miss on working properly, depending on your graphics card and/or drivers. Perspective works, the gamma and contrast sliders do not work. Also if ran in windowed mode, the mouse is not locked to the game window.

Glide/3DFX doesn’t work because modern graphics cards don’t support it.
With Sven’s Glide Wrapper, Glide becomes an option. You can run full screen while maintaining 4x3 aspect ratio (black side bars) and run windowed mode without fear of your mouse exiting the window. If Sven’s Glide Wrapper is configured properly, you regain all in-game video options such as gamma and contrast slider settings.
You will not be restricted or banned for using a Glide wrapper. Blizzard has specifically added command line switches to Diablo II in order to use Glide wrappers. You have nothing to worry about.In the zip file, you’ll need to copy the glide3x.dll file into your Diablo 2 main install directory. You can easily find your Diablo 2 install directory by right-clicking your Diablo 2 shortcut, select properties and then click the “Open File Location” button.
You’ll also need to copy glide-init.exe which configures the glide wrapper settings. (This can be run from anywhere)
(If you want to run full screen)
[Settings]
desktopresolution - Enabled
[Renderer]
texture-memory - 64MB
buffer-texture-size - 2048x2048
[Extensions]
GL_EXT_vertex_array - Enabled
(If you want to run windowed)
[Settings]
Window-mode - Enabled
Captured mouse - Enabled
window extras - Enabled
remember position - Enabled
[Renderer]
texture-memory - 64MB
buffer-texture-size - 2048x2048
How To Install Plugy Diablo 2 2019
[Extensions]
GL_EXT_vertex_array - Enabled
Once the settings are changed, just close out of glide-init.exe.
Unless noted, the default options are used. To reset Sven’s to default values, click “Restore default values” under sdt/export.
After you get the Glide wrapper installed and configured, you’ll need to add the following command switches to your Diablo 2 shortcuts “Target” field. This is done by right-clicking the shortcut icon, then select properties.
Target: “C:GamesDiabloIIDiablo II.exe” -3dfx
Note the space between the end double quote of the target path and the -3dfx. Also note that the target path above is just an example, don’t change the path in “double quotes” within the target field, or the shortcut won’t work!
Please consider donating something to Yohann for his excellent work.

Don't forget to send me an email to plugy@free.fr in specifying what gift have you done, I will thank you ;)
Update of 07/25/2010
I'm currently working on compatibility with patch 1.13c.
My goal is to finish it before August 27, 2010, but as some know, I have much less free time than before.
My wife does not like to see me 'wasting my time' to update PlugY.
I totally understand and to be forgiven, I thought to buy her a gift when finished.
But afterwards, I thought it would be nice if the Diablo and PlugY fans for whom I do that, also thanked her by participating to the gift. So she will see we have a great community around PlugY. ;)
