Extended Levels Plugin V2.00 - for the D2Mod System
Author: Afj666, converted to the D2Mod System by SVR 2004
Expanded by Myhrginoc 2007

v1.01    05/30/2004 - fixed bug, bytes @ d2common.8E5C4 not in listing.
v2.00.02 04/01/2007 - add support for automaps above level type 35.

This plugin allows you add up to 1024 levels to D2 instead of the normal 100.


Installation
------------

Extract ExtLvl.dll into your mod folder.

Add the dll name into your mod ini underneath the [D2MOD] section header:

	ExtLvl = extlvl.dll

There are no additional lines to add to your mod ini.  See the sections below for information about
the included txt files.


Automaps and Level Types
------------------------

Unmodded Diablo II includes two files, Lvltypes.txt and Automap.txt.  While there is no explicit limit
to the number of level types in the game, automap data processing will cause errors if the level type ID
is higher than 35.  The special version of Automap.txt included in this plugin has a new field, LevelType,
with data provided for the unmodded records in this file.  The LevelNames field is now a comment field.

Red Havoc wrote the definitive tutorial for automaps which can be accessed at

	http://phrozenkeep.it-point.com/forum/kb.php?mode=article&k=419

Everything in the tutorial should remain unchanged except for the file guide discussion on the field
LevelName and the hardcoded limitation to existing level types.

There are still hardcoded type checks when the level is a maze (Levels.DRLGType = 1), so use this feature
for DRLG Type 2 levels only.
