The Phrozen Keep

SInce SheX and nobody else has helped me figure out why the game crashed, I've been playing the Grim Dawn D2 remake called Reign of Terror. This mod has an act 6 now, a recreation of D1. Goodbye BTH! PS, the remake is so good I like it easily 5x as much as D2: Resurrected. I haven't even gotten to A...

I made a post recently on the Back to Hellfire forum and wanted to post my error in case anyone else has the same issue and wants to continue to support and fix the game (not Onyx who isn't into modding or gaming anymore, I talked to him for many years). Here's the error I currently get (assuming I ...

I managed to find the original patch on an archive website. I get to the ancients in Act V and it crashes. First time I've enjoyed this mod in many years (usually I hate it in the first hour alone). The link above is an invite and it says it's invalid. So now I have to ask if anyone has this patch u...

I just made a monk to test it myself since I've never seriously tried to play that class. I killed myself on purpose and was able to recover the body fine. I am running Windows 10 with LOD 1.10 and the Windows 7 compatible verison of BTH using Glide in fullscreen 4:3 at native 1080p. The last few mo...

Not sure he even checks these forums anymore. I'll let him know. :) Personally I like reading through these old threads. As long as it stays up I'm happy. If it goes down, I guess oh well... About a year ago I was trying to play more D2 mods and it was SO hard to find info or even download links on ...

There is no need to get BTH working on D2SE. A desktop icon is sufficient... Plugy won't run with BTH to answer the previous question. If you can get it to work, your a genius. Right now, as of a few months ago, I finally got a glide wrapper running (same one as in D2SE) but a standalone so it can w...

This works. Thank you. Too bad I don't play BTH anymore, but that could change now that I have it running without a really painful install with Sandboxie (or whatever it is). I just looked up mods and installed some things and tried them out for the first time recently: Diablo 1 HD Median XL Ultimat...

The reason why was because the tools were to advanced for average computers. Just for the maps alone, it takes a VERY long time to render maps and a VERY long time to compile them while requiring a massive amount of CPU RAM. So not every game may be simple to mod as it seems. That's interesting. I ...

A follow up question to the same interview. Scripting engines of all kinds that slowly become easier and easier with little knowledge in base programming itself is the wave of the future. Blizzard might be utter perfection when it comes to gameplay refinement but at some point even Joe down the str...

Thank you Hans, I found your post quite valuable. And I like that avatar. :) I think what you mean by "Infernal" is that it represents the third play-through once your character is near max level? If that is the case it's proving the game really is casual. So I will have to play 50 hours to get a re...

"So that’s a slight consequence of our online-only decision." :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: The most moddable version that can't be modded? I can't stop laughing. Really. Please, someone get a tranquilizer. :mrgreen: They never went out of their way to support mods? And yet they we...

I wanted to update this thread because it was the one I liked most and I've since gotten BTH to run on Windows 7 64-bit and wanted to comment on what I'd found. It's not what I'd expected. I never tried Virtual Box which sounds like a valid way to run it. I started with XP Mode that I'd mentioned co...

Yes, I'm kind of bummed out on all this. And if we're talking about self inflicted dismemberment at least it's voluntary, 19th century choir boys didn't always have that choice.... But I really believe regardless of what happens you can't stop modders. Even if the official engine isn't used and it's...

Ok Voragoth9. I gave you some unofficial information because it seemed you geared MANY posts with the same question and I've happened to have alot of conversations with him on many different topics. And your continual opening of that same question was starting to bother me due to extreme repetition....

most of those left aren't doing it for the players/praise, they are doing it for their own personal goals. and as for brother laz having a 'more active site', most of the stuff is spam or useless trolling combined with lots of flamers and ingrates, not something you want in a mod creating community...

change the palette to 16/24/32-bit color isn't hard and have already been made by SVR back in 2004/2005 and possible several others done that as well after that. Blackened (future version)/Day of Death/metalstorm and Dark Alliance have all it's own custom modified engines. That's really awesome. :)...

I have thought about the possibilities and talked to Onyx some in the past about how players will someday port D2 gameplay into a heavily modified or whole new engine. This was theory and I wasn't aware of any official developments (and I know Onyx would never do that). It will probably happen event...

Thanks Voragoth9. I knew you could say something that wasn't gloom and doom. :) I'll look forward to that game now. Anyway I hear it has whole new character classes so I wonder if they will introduce the old classes later so they can get access to all the cool items. And yes I knew people that helpe...

Torchlight was alot of fun and I even heavily modded it's graphics (sorry, never released it, only Onyx has played it that way) but if Torchlight 2 is anything like it people will forget it in a week. Not enough content to keep you going. Even if it is fun. I'll buy it. :) I really don't see any gam...

The main thing with modding is making money off of it. Most companies won't care that much if you mod their game and don't try to sell it without their permission. The auction house does add something interesting however. Blizzard should know that any game, especially where the original publisher is...

I believe what Kingpin is saying is that Blizzard in no way ever officially or even behind the curtain supported Diablo II mods in any way and that the resulting text files are a result of recompiling the game for the update and in themselves are no evidence Blizzard ever wanted their game modded. S...

Yes, I think Onyx worked on this at least a whole 1 or 2 months. ;) hmm. years? :) Grind, grind grind. MMO goodness without the annoying people to talk too. :) Never will there be a major market game with this slow of a pace (or wait there is, MMO's. And somehow they trick people into playing them b...

I run Windows 7 64 myself now and I haven't installed the game yet. Some solutions aren't complete solutions, the game mostly works but sometimes gets errors. In Windows XP maybe I'd get an error every 6 months and it was my PC and not the mod. Running true Windows XP emulation is the best solution ...

The way you "refer" to multiplayer don't exist in d2 either, without go into it any further. You know what I mean with this. There is no point complain before the game is even out. Those who was modding back in 1.03 know how little modding was supported, compare to how game is supported today and h...

I agree with what your saying. And I think it will be inevitable that fans will complain quite loudly. But I'm afraid it will likely go on deaf ears because this is a company now with alot at stake since they make so much money and they consider this to not only be the "Wave of the Future" for all g...
