Since I had some hard time when I died and lost exp (and gold but that's just not important) I started to back up my saved game files to another location before every rush to a unique boss or so. I was manually doing it but it really started to annoy me so I made an excel file to do it for me. Just open a blank Excel file, Alt+F11 to enter VBA. Insert → Module and paste the following code. Don't forget to change the folder paths to your own favor:
Code: Select all
Sub Game2Backup()
Dim fso As Object
Dim sourceFolder As String, mainDestinationFolder As String, backupDestinationFolder As String
Dim fileName As String
' Specify your source, main destination, and backup destination folders
sourceFolder = "C:\Users\Administrator\Saved Games\Diablo II Resurrected\" ' Update this with your source folder path
mainDestinationFolder = "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Saved\zzz\" ' Update this with your main backup folder path
backupDestinationFolder = "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Saved\www\" ' Update this with your second backup destination folder path
' Create a FileSystemObject
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' Loop through files in the source folder
For Each file In fso.GetFolder(sourceFolder).Files
fileName = file.Name
' Copy the file to the backup destination folder
fso.CopyFile sourceFolder & fileName, backupDestinationFolder & fileName
Next file
' Loop through files in the source folder again to copy them to the main destination folder
For Each file In fso.GetFolder(sourceFolder).Files
fileName = file.Name
' Copy the file to the main destination folder
fso.CopyFile sourceFolder & fileName, mainDestinationFolder & fileName
Next file
' Clean up
Set fso = Nothing
End Sub
Now I run the Excel file in the background, then start the game. After every successful rush, I sell or keep items etc, I rearrange potions, do the repairs and I save&exit the game. Then by simple pressing Alt+Tab, I bring the Excel file on top and click on my green button. Then I re-enter the game.
Don't know if anyone ever needed such a file exchange shortcut but it is here anyway. Cheers.
p.s. You can also use it before trying out a runeword. I had to repeat the process about 5-6 times before I finally reached a nice enhanced dmg % (to be specific, 334%) with my Oath.
