The Phrozen Keep

Small resurrection, but I thought this would be useful to anyone looking this topic. I've made a script that reads levels.txt and draws a worldmap. It uses offsets, sizes & checks vis tiles. There is a bit of hardcoded logic into it (outdoor areas use dynamic positioning), but it should *mostly* acc...

excellent work sir

looks great, looking forward to it

I just noticed something really dumb too, if you have the following treasure classes in a group, like: A - level 10 B - level 20 C - level 30 If you use "C" on a level 10 monster, it will use "C" instead of downscaling to "A". But not because of TC downscaling being disabled per se, but just because...

Oh, seems i'm late to the party!

Thanks a lot Xaphan

hello In an attempt to fix treasureclasses on my mod I came to the conclusion that super-treasureclasses don't seem to work on normal difficulty, this refers to the "group" and "level" columns from treasureclasses. We can run a simple test to see this, see for example the following treasureclasses: ...

What exactly do you need to know about missile chains? All you need is a 1-frame long FO missile and then spawn two different missiles using FO hit and move funcs. From there you can create basically any chain of missiles you want. Yes, you can :D But I can't. It would be very helpful if you could ...

Creating a maze is easy in theory, however there are certain aspects to each type of maze, so depending on what you are trying to design, you may want to pick a specific type of maze that suits your needs.

As far as I know, no it's not possible. It's not possible to have 2 vis from one map to connect to a same other map as well. I know blizzard did this in act 2 (on the palace) but it must be hardcoded. A bit late but, I just tested this and it worked. You can connect two different maps twice. Vis0 w...

Ok don't worry - I'll check QTbl. Thanks again

Was checking purge, according to readme it edits .txt, not tbls (well it does not specifically state it). Anyways will look into it.

Thanks for the links!

Yeah, I know I can manually create the txts with Joel's tool, but I am looking a way to automate it so I can remove that extra step everytime I want to do some importing/exporting.

So far no luck with finding a source published here. I've come across this topic, but links seem to be down.

Hello all, I am currently working on implementing a database system using MySQL and the txt/tbl files from the game. The main idea here is to be able via PHP to create scripts to modify txt files or just create scripts to create dynamic content for the players. Full details can be seen here . Anyway...

Really impressive work here! My personal recommendation would be not to bother making a new class. It's good to have such ambitious project but I feel some downsides that can appear, regardless of the quality of the end result. First, there hasn't been a 8th class added to the game, ever. Without th...

Really cool stuff. Keep it up!

looks like emo kid is back into the game

yeah you have a good point and believe me I have considered this for a long time but in the end I feel like most players feel more confortable playing 1.13, as 1.10 feels rather old. This and the fact that not everyone uses D2SE

@weapon-x: no, D2SE has a cores folder where it stores the individual dlls for each separate version, and picks the folder which is being called on the D2SE ini configuration file. Basically what I'm trying to say is that D2SE doesn't anything to adress compatibility throughout versions (it just has...

good job regardless, will give it a look later

ya that's what I guessed.. sad

@weapon-x: yea you could do that but then the mod would be based on 1.10, which feels kinda old

are you saying it works with 1.13c? (it shouldn't if I understood this right)

1.10 only

Hey Paul, sorry for bothering you again. I'm having a new problem with the map editor. The error is simply a crash (freeze). The problem is after adding preset monsters via obj.txt, these are the lines: 2 1 2178 void_amazon Data\Global\Monsters W% NU HTH LIT 0 2 1 2179 void_assassin Data\Global\Mons...
