The Phrozen Keep

Do you have any pictures of this? Thanks !

Double post, and I'm documenting a packet here, which I hope @Necrolis doesn't mind as he mentioned in the OP not to document these. But here is another set of packets - the last part required to be sent by the client for the handshake in 1.10! Packet 0x6B C->S Send a savegame chunk across the netwo...

Sounds really interesting. I like how you've scaled things down here.

Here's the def for C->S 0x67 struct D2GSPacketClt67 // size of 0x2E { BYTE nHeader; //0x00 char szGameName[16]; //0x01 BYTE nGameType; //0x11 BYTE nClass; //0x12 BYTE nTemplate; //0x13 BYTE nDifficulty; //0x14 char szCharName[16]; //0x15 WORD __025; //0x25 DWORD dwArenaFlags; //0x27 BYTE __02B; //0...

All of these are for 1.10, not 1.11+ which is different. Packet 0x6C C->S PING packet. Every 5 seconds, the client will send a PING packet to make sure the connection is alive. The two parameters can be used by the server to estimate client FPS and latency. To the best of my knowledge, this packet i...

This is a pretty common issue in the txt files, and the solution if I remember right is to delete the guest monsters (and fix the associated chains) or add some blank rows I think.

Hm, I think the Durance of Hate Level 2 actually has some kind of anticheat mechanism that requires you to have completed Khalim's Will in order for it to work, now that I think about it. But I could be wrong about that. Make sure that you pack both the .txt and the .bin files into the MPQ. That cou...

1) Both of you need to be using the same mod in order for any modifications to waypoints to work.

2) Maybe check and make sure that you entered the right numbers here.

Good job Volf!

Do you have any plans to fix old links that point to, for example, .it-point, gamespy, hugelaser, etc?

Fixed broken link in OP.

First, a bit of history. Diablo 2 had two different betas. The first round of betas arrived in the form of a CD, distributed to 1,000 lucky people around the world. In this beta, participants could complete up to the first Act as any of the five classes. In the second beta, distributed as an open be...

Hi, I made a small mistake here. This is actually supposed to be Skill Icon Pack 1 and the other one is Skill Icon Pack 2.
Thanks Volf

If you have 1.14 you need to downgrade your game first. Any version will work as long as you have the expansion set. There are tutorials on the net on how to do this. Then you need to download and install D2SE, which is a mod manager tool. Install it in your Diablo 2 folder. Then you need to downloa...

For OpenD2 I am working on the DCC decoder. I am very close to getting it working. In fact, this close: https://i.imgur.com/RamuHBk.png That's the first frame (0) of the Necromancer death animation, direction 0. It's very close, albeit with some sprite corruption down at the bottom. Other frames...d...

I found some information that perhaps might be of use to people modding the games. First of all, the Amazon has some weird looking animations for their shields. Namely, the bone shield. Their bone shield, in the blocking animation only looks different from their other animations. This animation as f...

I found a broken link on the Flairs page; the link to the Hall of Valor there is broken

This looks good! Aside from very minor look/feel issues, the site feels very much modern. I really like the new referral feature and the flair.

All of the broken links have been corrected in the OP.

Another icon pack has been added. This time, all of the icons are from the alpha.

The monster's level is defined in monstats.txt. The area levels in levels.txt is used for incidental monster spawning like from traps etc

You will need to expand the maximum monster level in monlvl.txt

http://kotaku.com/blizzard-announces-starcraft-remastered-due-out-this-1793649497 Seems like Blizzard is coming out with a new Starcraft game with the original sprite models updated to new resolutions...should we be expecting the same for Diablo 1 and 2? And more importantly, I wonder if the game en...

Will there be some kind of open source API with which to write new D2Run plugins? Is the intention for Metalstorm's backing codebase (not the metalstorm plugin itself) to be a platform for other developers to work on projects? I tried to get started on a D2Common rewriting but if this codebase alrea...

https://github.com/eezstreet/D2Common This is a project of mine to hopefully rewrite D2Common from scratch, I was hoping that I could get some contributors to it and get the ball rolling. Right now it's a proxy, but as you can see in Exports.cpp it allows you to hook any function in D2Common.dll whi...

Wow, those look really really awesome. I'm loving that Witch!

Maybe with a 100% ctc on attack?

Eastern Sun has this idea in place with the use of Dragon Stones and Forging Hammers. Essentially you could permanently add stats to items, but you are limited by both the number of Dragon Stones that you can find (because they are a rather rare item, even in Hell) and a hard limit imposed by a coun...
