However, Kingpin's post here serves as a definitive confirmation that the ItemEffect field uses the same functions as the SrvDoFunc field (and the same for ItemCltEffect/CltDoFunc). Additio...

Re: Affix Ranges

Absolutely go ahead--I wish all mods could implement this.

But prepare yourself for a problem having some text centered and some text left-aligned to make room for the bars.

Re: Affix Ranges

Top bar would be total quality. Small bars are each affix quality. Green bars are 100%, indicating "perfect affixes".

I left the sockets text alone as an aesthetic choice. (No important reason, really.)

Affix Ranges

As I was touching up item affixes today, I was considering a solution to the disconnect between what we perceive to be a good magical item, versus what is actually a good magical item. Consider that if I have an affix that adds +1 to +10 fire damage, a player will find the item with +8 and have no b...

Re: Enhancing D2 via mod

1) Would require a decent amount of CE (code editing). 2) You could do an approximation of these. Using itemstatcost.txt, you could create a damage-per-strength property and using skills.txt you could create stat synergies (energy to spell damage) in whatever ratio you deem fit. 3) This requires sli...

Black_Eternity: Your screens are great. The placement icons look good, but maybe drop the opacity on them.

Re: [1.13c] 1024 x 768 Resolution

I'm not sure about your screenshot problem, but the second problem is just a matter of how each element was original programmed. Some UI elements were coded to occupy a percentage of the screen, while others are meant to appear at exact offsets. Much of this is resolution dependent also, which is a ...

Re: Hellhole key

Not to be unappreciative Black_Eternity, but your keys are the incorrect dimensions, not in palette, and not obeying transparency properly (I looked at Hellhole key.bmp).

You may want to have another go at them.

Edit: Attached my result, edited from out of the original shot.

Re: [1.10] Character start hook

Thanks Nec. Works well.

Also, a poor/lazy coder's solution to new players vs. those already present:

if (Experience == 0) {
do new player stuff
+1 Experience!
}

When players ask why they start with 1 experience, simply tell them "Backstory."

[1.10] Character start hook

A relatively simple question:

I'm looking for an ideal place to hook the game at character start, for some code that will run once at game entrance, when the character pops up in town. Can anyone recommend an address? Thanks.
