Hardcore creation program

Hey, back in the day, someone made a program (I believe it was acid~angel, I could be mistaken) that would allow you to create hardcore characters without beating the game all the way through. The last time I checked, even though it was made a while ago, it still worked on the latest patches...

Anyone have any idea where that is, or similar programs? Thanks.

There's a registry tweak you can do, don't need a program.
It's in the FAQ.

Honestly I was just thinking that... any specific section you can point me to? That's a huge damn FAQ.

Oh, and thanks a ton. This sure beats playing through Baal...

Nevermind, got it. Thanks a bunch, Mouse.

I'm reposting Mouse_Wiz's post from the guide in case someone else searches for this and finds this thread...

2.2 could go for some updating...
First of all you only need to log onto an account that can create HC then you can create on all of your accounts.
If you don't have any such account the easiest way is to go through the following, which I've made as idiot proof as possible due to some people having inhibitions against messing with their registry.

1) Right click on desktop and choose "create new text document"
2) Press F2 to rename the document "allowhc.reg" or something similar (make sure that you're not naming it ".reg.txt" or something silly to that extent)
3) Right click on that file and choose "edit"
4) Copy and paste the below into it, then save changes;
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II]
"AllowHardcore"=dword:00000001
5) Double click on the file, select yes you do want to add the information, and OK afterwards
6) Proceed to create HC characters at your leisure

I know how to do it, but i have Dutch win XP, so i can't tell u where to click in english. U have to uncheck a box that says something like: "Hide extensions from known filetypes" Click on "My computer" Then 5th tab starting from the left (File, .... , .... , .... , this one) Then lowest tab possible (something like mapoptions?) Then 2nd tab, there is a list of options where u should uncheck the box.

Hopefully someone can give u the words used in english version of win xp, but maybe u can make it with this
