Diablo II Resurrected (D2R) Character Saves Import Tutorial
Hi all,
Been searching the last week for how to import character saves into offline D2R. I have an old char from 2004 that I wanted to see on my Switch. Couldn't find it (there's a GBAtemp link but see Misc. below) and decided to make my own guide.
Steps
1. Make a dummy char on the switch with the same name as the old one.
2. Exit D2R, backup via JKSV.
3. Identify which backup folder contains your D2R newly created char under /JKSV. It'll have a folder named as your dummy char (and others).
4. Copy all the old character files (.d2s, .maps, .key, .org, etc) into the new dummy folder that has the same name as your old char.
5. Use JKSV to restore that last save using "Y".
6. Your chat will appear in the offline chars on your Switch.
Notes:
- You could probably do this with more characters without creating a dummy if JKSV imports from the D2R folder without checking if there are new subfolders.
- It would have been cool if you could import all your chars from a single folder and not have to make a subfolder for each one. This would match the old D2 save structure as well as the current D2R structure on PC (I think and stand corrected here on D2R).
If you have any questions please shout. Ill try to answer! Good luck and have fun!
Misc.:
There's currently a broken thread here on gbatemp. The URL says Diablo II Res(s)urrected 2 saves but redirects to a Sims 3 on DS thread (lol).
