I have no idea how to activate plug ins. Im trying to understand all this file, program, archive....etc lingo and the readme files are not informative. Can someone tell me how to activate a plug in into a mod i have, so that i can USE it. I just want to play it, not create one to display on the net. I am totally uneducated in this department and i need some help. Also, when i downloaded the startup kit, it said i am lacking the STORM.DLL file? that i need to activate it. What is this? Please help if you can.

Not sure what "startup kit" you are talking about. If it's MPQ2k you're trying to use I thought it came with the storm.dll file. If not, you can download that file individually from the Tools of the Trade.

To use a plug-in, you generally have to know the basics of modding: how to extract, edit and pack files into the patch_d2.mpq file (or how to use -direct -txt).

You should start with the Idiot's Guide in the tutorials portion of Phrozen Keep. It's the best intro to modding I've had the pleasure to see (too bad I can't take credit for it). Then read the basic and intermediate tutorials...at the very least the ones on extracting and re-packing files.

If you don't know that stuff, the plug-ins won't do you any good in most cases.

For my latest mod (for LoD/expansion), download Version 1.1 of Sanctuary in Chaos or at this mirror site

- Or for old stuff (for classic D2), visit my orignal mod site at www.planetdiablo.com/sanctuary
