Ok, bought another battle chest to reinstall diablo II but found out to my unpleasant surprise that the latest version of the battlechest apparently installs to version 1.12 of the game which doesn't work considering I want to run version 1.10 (offline only) so I can run an old mod I enjoy. I found a few things on downgrading from 1.11d but nothing from 1.12. Does anyone have any helpful advice on getting the game back to the 1.10 configuration so it will work with the mod I want?

Patch 1.12
Downloadable Installer Support
If all required Diablo 2 '.MPQ' files are installed on the hard drive, the game will no longer require the CD to play.
For users that originally performed a 'Full Installation' and wish to run without the CD, all '.MPQ' files should be copied from the Diablo 2 CDs to the Diablo 2 directory. Most users will only need to copy D2Music.mpq from the Diablo 2 Play CD, D2xMusic.mpq and D2xVideo from the Lord of Destruction CD. Mac users will need to copy these music files and rename them to 'Diablo II Music' and 'Diablo II Expansion Music' respectively.
Anyone who did not perform a 'Full Installation' will need to re-install from CD again to ultimately play without the CD. In this case, a 'Full Installation' is required, followed by file copy step noted above.
