You can find C3P0 for 1.10 here. Most mods that run 1.10 should be compatiable with this program. Should there be an interfering PlugY program running with the mod, you must do special instructions do resolve that (eg. Zy-El). This program does not work with SnEj (due to Plugy's interface being hardcoded into the game).

This is an advanced and more user friendly version of Mousepad. Now you can configure your settings with the GUI and not have to resort to Config file modifications or adding monsters to the vocabulary file or whatever.

Here is how you install it:

1. Download from above like and take off the [1] at the end of the zip, to make it extractable
2. Extract all files to the Diablo II directory, and overwrite the executable for Diablo II with the one in the zip (This is D2Loader).
3. Create a shortcut for C3P0 on the desktop.
4. Open C3P0, Click on which Diablo II you want to run (Win or Full), and click on the Arrow button pointing towards R2D2 LOADED. This will execute Diablo II with C3P0. Now all you need to do is configure it to your preferences.

Here are some suggestions I recommend you do (if you want):

• For both Win and Full version, add this command: -skiptobnet. As long as you set your realm to D2 Maniacs (using BNGatewayEditor and having D2 Maniacs set as your selected realm), this will auto connect to that realm. DO NOT DO THIS ON THE OTHER REALMS, or you will be forced to download patch 1.11b. To remedy this, go to D2Maniac's forum and search for the original files for 1.10. Works on Bnet and Mods.
• For hardcore players that need a safety precaution, add this command: -nonotify. As long as this command is running, should the game crash, it will just close the game and not prompt you with an OK button. If you get a C000005 error, it will just close it. Why is this helpful? Cause the game may operate while your HC character is in battle till you press OK. You could lose your HC character should you die in this timeframe. And that isn't a good thing . Works on Bnet and Mods.
• If you wish to switch between video modes (Full SCreen only) use these: -d3d or
  -d2d -opengl -rave -glide. Be warned, these will not work in Windows mode, it generates unwanted effects. And some like Glide or Rave require special cards to operate properly.
• Turn off the supression for weather and NPC text.
• Turn off ALL AUTOQUIT features, it is a pointless thing unless you really need it.
• Unsuppress boss death animations
• If you want to, turn off the vectors. This will load a compass on your screen that will tell you where your nearest Waypoint, Quest Location and Next Level is. Which is kinda dumb if you activate the map using [-]
• Hotkey an exit game button, I prefer 0 on the Num Pad.
• Setup the Text for any remaining Unique Monster effects except thieving to your preferance. Go to Automap Config, and there will be the effects. Right Click on the right box in the chart to pick a color, left clicking allows you to change the text. Do something will all of them except Thieving (which doesn't exist anymore).
• To use item colors, you do the above: But now you have to browse through a mini menu of possible items. For instance, if you want to make the Elite Shako unique appear in Red. You do this:
  • Select Unique
  • (GRADE)Elite Items
  • Armor
  • Helm
  • Shako
  • Click on Shako, and right click on the box above it and select your new color

Those are some basic functions, but I leave you to experiment with the rest. I have a pretty neat setup with Purple Health bars and Blue X unique monsters and all. I recommend you run Diablo II in Windows Mode, so all you need to do to change C3PO is click off screen and select your C3PO program. Just remember to Save Changes. The only difference with Windows is it doesn't play Videos, and run Direct3D support on the game.
