(A)**Updates/New Stuff**
1-Goes to the Diablo II save directory automatically now, no need to install/put this
  under the save directory if you don't want to.
2-More 'compact' view with no quest status.
3-Color coded/letter coded skill reset buttons.
4-Extra things removed, making for less code and smaller/faster program (at least until
  I implement the expanded view).  Among this was the ability of not reseting a quest
  until you've done it, so there are no limits now.
5-Added color coding for whether or not the quest is reset for the reward.
6-Can tell the difference between 1.06/1.08 character files (may be used if there are
  compatibility problems between the two in the way quests are saved).
7-Applied some built-in VB optimizations.




(B)**Upcoming Updates/New Stuff**
1-Full integrated support for both Diablo2: LOD AND Diablo2 (this does work for Diablo 2
  players, but Act 5 will still show up, unknown what'll happen if you attempt to reset).
2-All quests in the game including secret cow level.
3-Update user interface.
4-Save options (both for character and last directory viewed).
5-Two integrated views, compact-reward reset ONLY, small, easy and quick to use;
expanded-all quest status (started, completed, reward, etc.), little bigger, slower to use.

NOTE: This will eventually be a full blown editor (minus items right now), I already have
      made two editors one of which can loads skills, stats, money, etc.




(1)**Description of this program**
This program is used for resetting quests for ONLY the rewards in most cases, although
for some quests to be redone they have to be "switched off" again, you may notice that
quests that give skills, stats, etc. were not included, I did this as to NOT applaud
cheaters, since the best experience playing a game is legit for the most part.
(At least the first time.  ;))

P.S.  Have fun!




(2)**Program Notes**
If you don't know what the quests are, simply highlight the label/button associated with
the quest, and a tooltip will appear the the quest name.  (I may make it easier to
distinguish in the future between quests, but not positive about it.  Will probably
do this in the upcoming expanded view.)

This started out as a program for my uncle, then for him and I, and then it kinda grew
from there, and has probably got about 1-3 weeks of total work in it by now maybe, nothing
to hard, but if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments feel free to email them to
webmaster@demortex.com with something like 'Support', 'Bug', 'Comment', 'Suggestion' 
somewhere in the subject line, although it's not required if you have something against it.
;)

Currently Supported Quests:
Act I:
Quest 2-Sister's Burial Grounds
Description-Allows you to get a rogue hireling again for free (assuming you don't have
another hireling with you when you talk to Ashya).

Quest 3-The Search for Cain
Description-Allows you to get the ring reward from Akara again.

Quest 4-The Forgotten Tower
Description-Lets you get the money, etc. in the chest after completing this quest.

Quest 5-Tools of the Trade
Description-Allows you to imbue another item.

Act II:
Quest 2-The Horadric Staff
Description-Allows you to get the staff again (so you can get into Tal Rasha's tomb).

Quest 6-The Seven Tombs
Description-Allows you to see which is the true tomb again (use the Canyon of the Magi
waypoint to activate the quest and see the symbol).

Act III:
Quest 2-Blade of the Old Religion
Description-Allows you to get the ring reward and an iron wolf hireling (again, assuming you
don't have another hireling with you when you talk to her) for free again.

Quest 6-The Guardian
Description-Allows you to get the soulstone again after you kill mephisto.

Act IV:
Quest 2-Hell's Forge
Description-Allows you to get loads of gems again from the forge (and I've heard possibly
other things such as a rune), and to also get the hammer used to break the soulstone
(gotten from killing Hephasto).

Act V:
Quest 1-Siege on Harrogath
Description-Allows you to socket an item again (number of sockets differ on skill level and
item type, uniques and rares will always get only one).

Quest 2-Rescue on Mount Arreat
Description-Allows you to get the runes (Ral, Ort, and Tal) from completing this quest
again after talking to him.

Quest 3-Prison of Ice
Description-Allows you to get the scroll of resistance again and another free item
from Anya.  (NOTE: When this quest is reset, you lose the 10 resist the scroll gives,
so use it again or else you'll be 10 less resist than what you should be. ;) )

Quest 4-Betrayal of Harrogath
Description-Allows you to personalize another item (may or may not add your name in an
orange tint similar to the crafted item color).

====Quest Below Will Be Re-enabled In The Next Version===
Quest 5-Rite of Passage
Description-Allows you to kill the ancients again (not positive if you'll gain lots
of experience again).


IMPORTANT NOTE: This editor works differently than some editors out there may such as
Jamella's editor, with his when you reset a quest such as Act 5 Quest 4 (personalize
reward) is does a generic reset, where you load the game and talk to her to actually
enable the reward, this is not always the case with my editor.  At least with Act 5
Quest 2 my editor resets them so you don't even have to talk to the people associated
with the quest reward, likewise my editor may load this quest status differently.

If you were to load a quest reset (but you could still talk to the person to actually enable
the quest) generically, it would show up as not being reset in my editor, this is NOT a
problem, just ignore it, as with my editor resetting it it'll show up as being reset when
loaded.

P.S.  If the above lost you, just forget you ever read it. ;)




(3)**Warning of Use/Disclaimer**
The program saves (as noted on the main screen) AS you click the buttons, so
any changes WILL be permanent (At least until I implement the expanded view.)!
Backup your character file BEFORE attempting to reset quests otherwise I will
NOT be held responsible for anything that may (although not to my knowledge)
go wrong when changing quest status (use Jamella (if it works) to change to
a different status if needed [http://www.dcemulation.com/diablo2---->Under
Editors]).



(4)**Site Download Rights/Last Modified**
As of this time, only the two sites listed below have the right to display Quest
Reset for download.  If you wish to have my editor on your site, you MUST send an email
to webmaster@demortex.com asking for site download rights, this is so that I know
who has my editor and who to send updates to, thank you.
