I feel like there was no excuse not to have a Diablo II based sound effects mod. After figuring out how the hell (pun intended) GUTS worked when making a soundbank, I decided to make something rather than wait for something.

What I've modified so far:
Item sounds
UI sounds
Swing and Hit sounds
A few Event sounds
Footsteps (very quiet)

I do not know how to modify or create entirely new banks so some sounds mix in an odd fashion though I have tried to generalize. (skulls make gem sounds, small claws make two-hand weapon sounds, bows and crossbows sound the same, etc.)
Sounds can come off as quiet, even after I've modified the bank's volume to 1 (out of 1) and I really didn't want to bother with every single one so some might come off as loud, lemme know.

Feel free to suggest changes (such as volume) or new sound replacements as long as they originate from Diablo II itself.

Best to use this mod with others such as Wartinald's Diablo 2 Music Mod (W.I.P) (or my personal edit to it), availableusername's D2-like Font (v.4) and DOOMGUY's Evil UI Grittier Edition + Diablo 2 Orbs (v.6) for full nostalgia effect.

Update (v.14): Removed all unused sounds that I left over figuring out the mod, also put all sounds in the base sounds directory, GUTS didn't seem to care as long as they were in sounds. Added a few more proper swinging sounds.
Update (v.17): Added sounds for Glaive skills (swing sound combined with Assassin Blade Sentinels), Wand usage (Fire Bolt, Ice Bolt, Lightning and Bone Teeth for Fire, Ice, Electric and Poison wands, respectively), Teleporting, Skeletons, Summoning sounds (Revive, Valkyrie, Spirit Animal, Shadow Duplicate and Golem/Skeleton), Curse sounds (Used when an enemy casts haunt upon death or enemy mages, such as Varkolyn Warlocks teleporting)
Update (v.20): Put the shattering sounds into the proper place (the Shatter bank is for Shattering Glaive, not shattering enemies), added impact sounds to wand projectiles and various elements (zapping, singing, freezing, etc.)
Update (v.22): Found that the crystal_shatter bank is when enemies shatter from ice and respectively replaced that, put the same curse sounds in the Hex bank, increased shield block sound very slightly, found that the wooden break sound was not properly replaced and did so, decided to also use wooden break sounds for breaking barrels as well.
Update (v.23): Edited the potion drinking sounds to have the non-drinking healing/mana restoration sounds mixed in with the usual D2 drink sound. Added zombie noises.
Update (v.24): Added the same zombie sounds to thin zombies as well.
Update (v.32): Casted Revive on this mod and decided to change more banks such as the pet wolf with the Druid wolf, flyers with the Blood Hawks, spiders with the D2 spiders, the goblins now have the iconic sounds of the Fallen Ones.
Every character now has a close match to their equivalent from Diablo II: Lord of Destruction which include...
Male Embermage: Druid
Female Embermage: Sorceress
Male Berserker: Barbarian
Female Berserker: Assassin
Male Outlander: Necromancer
Female Outlander: Amazon
Male Engineer: Paladin
Female Engineer: Amazon
I had to work around with some sounds and mute a few banks because they didn't have any equivalent voice lines in D2, some of the attack sounds are simply pain sounds reversed to sound like grunts and the exclamation for setting off chest traps uses their "run away" vocal commands.
