The Phrozen Keep

Yes, it would be nice. I can't upload anything atm unfortunately, but NS is ready for beta.

I don't like the style of the PHBBB smileys. They look silly imo
= alright, but the default ones are shocking.

Sure you can! Take a look at the tutorial on how to use the "automagic" text file to set magic modifiers that automatically show up on a normal item.

Thats why its worth to invest some time into do Code editing and remove the pointless "no defense" while running. Since, walking is no option in D2. Nobody's done this so far, right? I'd be very interested in such a change... but unfortunately as I'm sure I've said somewhere before, coding intimida...

One thing I always tried to do in NDX was make every item type feel "worthwhile." There are excellent ways to build up ANY type of item if you discover enough cube recipies- sets and uniques only have a bonus in terms of what modifiers they start with. I very much agree with you that a large amount ...

It's a bug that I've fixed for the next version. I'm gonna release it reasonably soon.

So you guys can keep track of if I've been good or not, I'm gonna post when I'm done with or have made progress on changes. Wheee. * Cube recipies re-enabled. * Basic skill edits back in place, prerequisites removed. * Potions fixed. * Town maps edited for: -> Act 3 -> Act 4 -> Act 5 so that the NPC...

Yeah. I guess D2 Modders are like Boomerangs... once some idiot throws them away, they're bound to come back and hit someone in the head a few months later

There was a Diablo-themed MUD on the net sometime earlier, (it was more like D1 than D2 though) but it closed down. I'm not sure if there are any around still- mainly because between all my other stuff and the Discworld MUD, I don't try new MUDs very much anymore.

Although I loved the richness and openness in BG2, I just couldn't finish it- the raw gameplay mechanics and the static nature of the game made it too frustrating for me to feel it worth completing. Personally, I feel we won't have a really good RPG until someone combines the strengths of both Diabl...

Welcome back. I sure hope include your new gems.... :mrgreen: Also if you want any anims modified, let me know I'd be happy to help... Skills and monsters got wiped. Everything else has been included, although I may clean it up a little in terms of gameplay balance. Lots of the changes I'm doing fo...

I'm really back and chugging along slowly. Thanks for the frontpage news, Onyx!

As always suggestions etc... are welcome on the NDX forums. I'm tackling balance issues at the moment, which is the big thing plaguing B1a.

lit is the correct code for unarmed or unarmoured graphics.

Make an item that undoes your red dye?

Heheheh

I already have B1a bugfree. So it looks like it's time to add some more gameplay features. The experience curve is new and clean, so that's a plus. Characters need to be balanced relative to monsters however, which I'm not entirely looking forward to It'll be hard to keep track of it.

Wow. Sorry if you guys thought I stopped caring; it was more a case of not physically being able to upload anything, and being too busy to be able to rectify that situation. I've got a functioning version of B1a right here, (although you're probably gone by now, heee) but I'll finish it up some more...

I noticed it was gone :) Yeah, sometime would be good. I'm halfway to B1a right now :) Just worked out the crash bugs and reimplemented a lot of lost 1.09 features. (it took aaaaaggggeeess to find- I had left a 1.09 soundenviron.txt or whatever it's called in my direct txt directory. That went :) ) ...

*watches quietly as the shockwaves of this bump ripple through the forum disrupting everyday business.* I had a pretty tough time keeping up with other hobbies along with modding during Uni, so modding unfortunately fell by the wayside. I'm working on a B2 version of New Dawn X quietly, and North St...

Yeah, I caught YPP addiction REALLY badly. By comparison, I find normal D2 or LoD frustratingly repetative and contentless, simply because playing puzzles and chatting is so much more fun for me, having always been a bit of a puzzle-addict. I've been having difficulties keeping my code bug-free (cra...

Those downloads should work on any 1.10 version, although 1.10b (rather than 1.10s or 1.10) was the version I initially tested on.

That release is also really buggy. NDX is on a break at the moment, but we'll see about making the 1.10 release a bit nicer.

I'm with Char here. Seperating them out looks like a good idea.

How come your items have "Nicht legitimer Gegestand?" (non-legit item, for all you non-german-capable folks) written on them? O_O

If you're making a derivative of a mod for personal use, you'll have to check the Runes[1-17] lines in TreasureClassEx, and see if Cell has lumped more runes onto those lines, or simply added more lines.

I assume you've copied your shapeshift skill from were[wolf/bear]? What you need to do if that's the case, is copy the barbarian's Leap Attack, and set it so that it only works in shapeshifted form. (see Fire Claws for an example of how to do this) Have a look at the skill.txt fileguide for the spec...

Your safest bet is to add ALL new strings to string.tbl, and to only use patchstring.tbl and expansionstring.tbl for when they overwrite the original.

Also your .bin mystery is really not a mystery. What is happening is that you do not have all the text files the game uses extracted, so you do not see that there is a monstat2.txt, monprop.txt, etc. But those text files are always in the game, and the corresponding .bin always gets generated wheth...
