Hey, bro. Awesome that you took time to post this guide. I was one of the players that was asking around for instructions. Sadly, I still have a problem with topazchat- I seem to connect, but when I type in the chat it says "Nobody can hear you". By the way my topazchat, which I downloaded from the same link few days ago- doesn't look like the one in the pictures here. I'll show you! Here are some screenshots. This is how it looks and how I connect:
step1:

What else should I do? Maybe join one of those channels? If yes, which one?:

Thanks in advance.

 

Sweet tool, never used it but now I'll know what to do when the need comes. Great guide.

 

Hey Botlike! You just have to add "Diablo II" to Channel-list ( II = ii ) otherwise just use the command "/join Diablo II" to switch the Channel.

It worked with the command "/join Diablo ii" and I used the program for a good week now, but all of a sudden since 2 days ago it gets stuck in this screen when I try to connect/join:

Spoiler

I'm using absolutely the same login info and settings as before that. Even reinstalled the program a few times just to be sure.

Any ideas?

 

1) Run Topazchat as Administrator.
2) Click "File"-> "New" -> Name the Files -> Safe anywhere.
3) Click "Options" -> Chatconfiguration
4) Enter an valid Diablo 2 (europebattle.net) Account + Password
5) Enter Servername: d2.europebattle.net
6) Click "Ok"
7) Click f4 on your Keyboard
8) Type /join Diablo ii

Try this!

^ Ye, that's how I've been logging on till now. I found out what was the issue, some of the .cht files got deleted for whatever reason and topazchat was bugging out. When I saved them all over again it got fixed.

Thanks.

 

This guide could use some kind of update, can't add server with version you provided.

 

The server you're looking for is d2.europebattle.net and it is included as far as I can see in the first screenshot.

 

Well, there is regular bnet, bunch of IP's and exodus bnet. I can't manually add server like it is said in the guide.
I've used version posted here, I don't know why it's different.

 

It's different because it has default settings.

 

Did anyone find a fix for this? I still cant find the server, and i cant seem to find a way to add the server to the list :/

 

Gix - What he means is that you cant actually add or delete any of the adresses listed there, i think its a new update I have the same problem

Version 8.20 it says
But as you can see i can only see battle.net and a bunch of other ip adresses as well as "exudos.battle.net"

Hopefully there is a possible fix for this

 

Got my problem solved!

First of all i downloaded Version 7 from the tools page instead of version 8 since i can manually add the "d2.europebattle.net" server in the version 7. Still dont know how to add it to version 8 tho.

Also if you happen to run into "Attempting to connect." message in Topazchat and nothing happens, make sure you did read the "readme.txt" (Or as it says in LSD-Dudes guide) -
Drag the files from the Topazchat.zip folder into your D2 installation folder, otherwise it will not work

Thanks to Gix for helping me out
