ATMA Guide
http://atma.diabloii.net/ . The Planet Diablo Forums or post your complaint/suggestion/comment in this thread . I'll then update this page accordingly.1. Running ATMA 2. Loading a saved file (.d2s) 3. Creating an extended stash 3. The Buffer and Cursor windows explained 4. Troubleshooting Open ATMA .(up) File and then Load (.d2s) file Save . If we open that up, you should get a list of all the saved characters on your computer:D2S tab on the left Character/Item View
window. Next time you use ATMA, you won't have to open your saved games
all over again, but instead just select them from that window.Save folder. I have selected Vercingetorix, my Barbarian:(up) Utility .New Stash .Stash Name: Here you can type in a name for you brand new stash.Version: ATMA supports 1.11, but doesn't know it yet. Just keep this on 1.10. File Path: Select the directory
in which you want to save your expanded stashes. Try to keep it
somewhere simple. WARNING: Use an already existing directory - if you
choose a non-existing one, the game won't create it but you will lose
your stash and everything in it!!!* next to the words My Stash .
When changes have been made ATMA uses that little asterisk (*) to warn
you that the new changes haven't been saved yet. You can do this by
pressing Save All .Save All button. It also makes sense to select the Auto Save option under the Options menu - this only needs to be done once.List tab, you can see all the items sorted in alphabetical order.Character/Item View window, but this time under the D2X tab. In the future you can access this stash by clicking on it there.(up) The Buffer Space: The "Buffer" is somewhere to put an
item that you don't currently know where else to put. For instance -
have you noticed the difficulties in transfering an item from your
inventory to your mercenary? Obviously you can't click on the
"mercenary" tab while holding an item, and you can't access your
inventory while under the mercenary tab. The answer? Put that
particular item in the "buffer" and then access you mercenary - it will
still be there in the buffer window.The Cursor Space: The cursor window is slightly
different: if, while playing the game, you are so filled up that you
don't have room for everything in your stash before exiting, you can
click on an item to pick it up and then, when it has appeared "on your
cursor", you can exit and save. When you reload a game the next
time, the item will still be there, although you'll have to drop it in
order to move.
One note about this though,
if you are moving items around in ATMA, and leave something in the
'cursor' spot when you save and close your character, then load that
character in-game, sometimes the item that was in the 'cursor' field is
gone. It is best not to leave anything valuable in that area when
exiting ATMA.
(up) I keep getting "unknown version unable
to load character file" on the info bar. I have followed your tutorial
to the "T". Any suggestions? This is usually due to the fact
that either your saved game or your ATMA installation has been
corrupted. Reinstall with the latest version of ATMA (5.05) or replace
the corrupted saved game with a backed-up saved file.(up) The 3 Keys: (up)
