Median XL 2017 1.3.1 PlugY and D2SE

Start with a fresh install
- Using the download links in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofdiablo/comments/4b48oz/how_to_download_and_install_version_113/d160fdh/ You will download the DiabloII_113c_Installer.zip and LODPatch_113c.exe.
- Extract the folders Original and Expansion and install them directly on to your C: drive accordingly. (This makes the folder easier to find and you don't have to deal with User Account Permissions)
- Run the LODPatch_113c.exe to update Diablo II to 1.13c.

Now to download/install D2SE
- Download the D2SE installer D2SE_V2.2.0.exe from http://d2se.org/d2se/D2SE_V2.2.0.exe and run it.
- Set the install destination to C:\Diablo II if it was not set already.
- Accept the defaults for the next three windows by hitting Next. Then hit Install.
- Finish and close the D2SE Modmanager.

If you are only using 1.13 and/or Median XL you can save space on your hard disk (Only about 50 Mb) and declutter the D2SE Interface by navigating to C:\Diablo II\D2SE\CORES and deleting all folders EXCEPT 1.13c.

Next download the Median XL files for D2SE
- Download the files for D2SE, d2se.zip, from https://get.median-xl.com/d2se.zip.
- Extract the files from d2se.zip into the C:\Diablo II\MODS directory.
(The readme will tell you to do this AND also extract the mod files to the same folder)

So next for the mod files

- It will download the file median-1.3.1.zip.
- Extract the files from median-1.3.1.zip to C:\Diablo II\MODS\D2SE - Median XL and replace the files in the destination if prompted.
