The Phrozen Keep

Latest iteration:

Wait, did that panel not exist in vanilla D2?

Not showing up in MPQview for some reason. I'll try using another list file. Which one are you using?

Best I can figure my list file is wonky, but I can't find those anywhere. Can anyone help me out here?

1/10/2017 Diablo 3 influenced GUI, WIP: http://i.imgur.com/6qSy2oH.png Comparison Again, made from scratch from a stock image of a piece of marble, I did not manipulate any vanilla assets. I can show you guys how to do this GUI stuff if you want, it's really easy. It's basically digital arts and cra...

Thanks, m8

5/22/2016: Logo attempt http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b339/JoshKing/ds_logo_1.gif 29 frames, 260 x 180, approximately the same as the vanilla logo anim. Grayscale, so it adapted to the units palette just fine. Not sure at all if that's the palette the logo even uses, but hey. Baby steps. Far and...

Sorry about the delay in sprites, folks. Put briefly, mental illness makes prolonged productivity tough sometimes.

I'll see what I can do, boss. You'll probably need an "on hit" plume as well.

I don't mind. I'm actually working on a start-to-finish tutorial so other people can give this stuff a try. I use only free software, after all. I spent a few days looking into the Blender/render palette thing, and there's no way in that program to do what we need currently. So I use GIMP for touch-...

What's CV5?

They look outstanding. How were you able to adapt those colorful sprites to the appropriate palettes, if you don't mind me asking?

No way man, giving finished pieces their own little post is an integral part of my "sprite's finished!" ritual. :idea: To convert a render to .dc6, you must adapt it to the appropriate palette. In most cases, you'll be using the units palette. D2's palettes can be found here . Reds and browns will g...

• 54x 84 each (2x3 inventory slots)
• Adapted to the units palette; ready for .dc6 conversion
• Remember to fill the transparency in with solid black before converting!

Fairly Necromancer-esque.

How does one use DT1 tools to edit subtile walkability? I see the subtile field in the .ini, but I don't understand it. Nearly every vanilla DT1 has all 25 subtiles to 00, which is supposed to be unwalkable according to Siramy's DT1 docs? I feel I'm missing something here. If I add an object that no...

Excellent. Now I can easily make new tilesets for everyone.

You're a lifesaver!

Why isn't that the version in the file center?

While we're on this, how does one use my shiny new DT1 with DS1Edit? Though my tiles show up ingame, DS1Edit uses the DT1 from the game's MPQ.

Currently looking into running windows 98 via virtual machine. Wish me luck!

if anyone knows of a simpler solution, just let me know.

11/23/2015: A massive overlay http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b339/JoshKing/aura6_4.gif 250 x 250 Adapted to the units palette; ready for .dc6 conversion This one's heartbreaking. Like all greyscale sprites, it converts to the units palette flawlessly. But it was the result of a glitched out parti...

Current questions: How does one use DT1 tools to edit subtile walkability? I see the subtile stuff, but I don't understand it. Almost every tile has all 25 subtiles to 00, which is supposed to be unwalkable according to Siramy's DT1 docs? I think? Also, how does one create a "down wall"? OLD\/ Looki...

Thanks, bud.

Some additional colorations on those rings:



All in the correct palette, as usual.
