D2R-XL 2012 comes with three D2RLoader plugins. They sit in mods\mxl2012\d2rloader\plugins and load only with this mod. The Downloader installs them and puts them back on Repair.

Bundled plugins

Plugin By What it does Turn it off
D2R-XL 2012 core (mxl2012-core.dll) the D2R-XL 2012 team The engine parts Median XL 2012 needs and D2R lacks. Needed: without it the mod does not play as Median XL, and characters with items on personal stash page 2 do not load. not meant to be turned off
Buff HUD (d2rl-buff-panel.dll) Lukaszpg (MIT), in our fork for Median XL 2012 A panel of your timed buffs above the skill bar, with a countdown; hover an icon for the buff's name. enabled = false in buff-panel.toml
D2R Legacy 16:9 (legacy169.dll) the D2R-XL 2012 team (MIT) Widens the classic graphics (G) to your screen: 800x600 shows as 1066x600 on 16:9 (960x600 on 16:10). HD is not changed. enabled = false in legacy169.toml

The settings files are in mods\mxl2012\d2rloader\config\. Change them with the game closed, then start the game again. The Downloader keeps your copy of these files on updates.

Buff HUD

The panel shows Median XL's skill buffs (Holy Armor, Judgement, Superbeast, Merkabah and the others), shrines, and the elixirs (Experience, Greed, Wealth, Power, Love, Concentration) with the elixir's picture. It works in HD and in the classic graphics.

  • The icons hide while the stash or the Horadric Cube is open, and while another panel covers one of them; they come back when it closes. hide_with_panels = false in buff-panel.toml keeps them shown.
  • Some buff skills have no icon in Median XL 2012. Elemental Fury, Blades Of Light, Superbeast Neutral, Mark of the Bear and Mark of the Wolf borrow one from the mod's own icons; a few others still show "?".

Thanks to Lukaszpg for the plugin.

D2R Legacy 16:9

The classic picture fills a widescreen window: the side panels sit at the window edges and the bottom control panel stays 4:3 in the middle. A game in a window of another shape can set aspect in legacy169.toml.

Your own plugins

Plugins you put in the game-wide <D2R folder>\d2rloader\plugins load with D2R-XL 2012 too. One that changes the same game code as D2R-XL 2012 has that hook turned down by D2RLoader; the mxl2012 console command names it under plugin clashes. Plugins written for D2R's own items and skills may need changes to understand Median XL's.

Planned

These are being looked at for later releases and are not in the mod yet:

  • PyreFly's plugins (D2R-Mods, with PyreFly's permission): controller shortcuts, a loot filter, stash search, item roll ranges and an inventory deposit button. Each needs work for Median XL's items and skills first.
  • Auto Belt Refill by jaycachou-svg, which refills the potion belt from the inventory.
