Open ‘plugy.ini’, find ‘[LANGUAGE]’ section, set ‘ActiveChangeLanguage=’ to 1, then set params for ‘SelectedLanguage=’, ‘ENG’ for English, ‘CHI’ For Chinese Traditional, ‘SIN’ for Chinese AomeiSoft. There is a big flaw within the game engine, ‘CHI’ and ‘SIN’ slot are both using fonts for ‘CHI’, so if you want a full ‘AomeiSoft’ style simplified Chinese version, you need to copy ‘Data’ from ‘奧美字庫’ folder to the mod after installation.
Trivia: AomeiSoft was an entertainment company used to be running Diablo II for Blizzard in mainland China, it published its own simplified Chinese version, with awesome pretty Chinese character fonts and super ugly Latin & number fonts. This company collapsed soon due to its poor service and selling same CD-Keys to multiple customers. As the result, few people had played this version even in mainland China, but it indeed used to be the ONLY Genuine simplified Chinese version, so I remade its fonts and brough it back in my mod.
