QoL Tips & Tricks

I found that Gimli's TinyMod is really great with this, especially for keeping the RAM and VRAM costs down.
From struggling to run ~7 clients with 64gb RAM and the main client barely getting 60fps, I'm now conveniently running 8 and have more than 40% RAM leftover and the main client runs at 200fps.

Switching between different game windows with a AHK script is much easier than alt-tabbing or clicking them. Here's an example where Mouse4/5 goes to my main, Ctrl+M4 goes to BO, Ctrl+M5 goes to Enchantress, F1-5 goes to the town loaders. The window names have to match:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
#if (WinActive("ahk_class OsWindow"))

XButton1::
XButton2::
IfWinExist 1 - Main
	winactivate
return

+XButton1::
IfWinExist 2 - BO
	winactivate
return

+XButton2::
IfWinExist 3 - Chant
	winactivate
return

F1::
IfWinExist 4 - D2R4
	winactivate
return

F2::
IfWinExist 5 - D2R5
	winactivate
return

F3::
IfWinExist 6 - D2R6
	winactivate
return

F4::
IfWinExist 7 - D2R7
	winactivate
return

F5::
IfWinExist 8 - D2R8
	winactivate
return

I noticed in the main setup article under Notes (https://github.com/shupershuff/Diablo2RLoader?tab=readme-ov-file#notes) it says to use the in game setting to limit FPS. You should add a note saying that doing this will increase your load times. It's well documented that load time is tied to FPS now.
