The Phrozen Keep

Hi aasa0001, that's not exactly the same in LOD. You won't be seeing numbers that large in LOD ever, in LOD it underrolls to 255 sockets, although either way it's a problem. Although with careful design, you shouldn't ever end up with less than -100 socket multiplier.

This is a guide describing events, itemevents and auraevents. Itemevents and auraevents are separate since they don't seem to share functions. CREDITS: Silvermane and Necrolis for confirming that the doactive event is non-functional. Nefarius and BrotherLaz for writing the missiles.txt guide, which ...

In the case of Enchant, hitpoints gained from hpregen will be saved regardless of the source, so there's no advantage to using an aura in that case. In the case of auras, hitpoints and perdelay is irrelevant for ctc, as it will only activate once on ctc, and so you will only heal once whether the pe...

Hi Woestave , a cast aura will only be active for up to the duration of its perdelay column, in frames. Auras have perdelay=50 by default, so they will last anywhere from 1 to 50 frames (perdelay seems to be on a global timer, so depending on luck it may go away almost instantly or up to its max dur...

Hi Woestave , see: https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php/Unique_(monster). Note that monumods.txt is basically two different txt files crammed together, with constants being independent of the rest of the txt file. So rather than gaining a life bonus from rndname, hpmultiply, light and level...

Thanks Nagahaku ! Yes, definitely seems to occur on Coldworm. And it doesn't seem to be poison length reduction, but rather a hidden poison resistance bonus that pushes her into immunity when you wouldn't expect it; in some cases, resistances do not display immunities. At 0% resistance, with no addi...

Great finds Nagahaku ! Although I'm unable to confirm the anti-poison logic. The 75% poison resistance is definitely there, but I've been testing maggotqueen1 and am unable to get it to provide effective poison immunity: on a test zombie with maggotqueen1, 1% poison resistance is easily killable wit...

Hi GreenDude , that's not a necropost at all, I'm always glad to see contributions to our understanding of Diablo 2. However, I'm not so sure that's correct. From my brief testing, the difference between Fend with par2=60 and par2=1 is immediately clear. 60 takes it's time clearing out an area, and ...

zjat , you can add flat values by giving the minion the stat through their aurastats/passivestats. For example, if you want to give a minion +1 defense per value of some stat or skill, all you'd need to so is add in the stat armorclass and set the calc to scale with the value of your minion defense...

Hi zjat , it is possible. You can add in a Blaze skill that releases aoe weapon damage novas as you move. If you make the radius small enough, it will only hit enemies that you are phasing through with Whirlwind. You could also use some complex Volcano missile interactions to make it so that the Bla...

An issue concerning Bash: It seems like after using Bash, its aurastats will persist as long as I keep hitting enemies--and it doesn't matter which skill I use. I am trying to use the Bash function to trigger a CTC effect that is only possible as long as the Bash-granted aurastat is in effect. Howe...

Awesome find Nagahaku ! From my testing: •Blade Shield's srvdofunc is causing the interruption (the srvstfunc is like an aura, it will repeat the srvdofunc every perdelay frames, so every time the srvdofunc 54 is repeated, it may interrupt) •Dragon Talon is also getting interrupted fully like Dragon...

Elemental types, or elemtypes, or etypes, are the fundamental damage types. They are (barely) defined in ElemTypes.txt, although your only options are to delete elements, change their reference codes or to add new elements. These are the basic rules that apply to all elements: (1) If a skill has ETy...

Yes, that should work.

ssjkakaroto, do you have strings for all the new runewords? A runeword without a string will crash the game when created.

Desclines with the same priority appear to use desc that have a lower ID in itemstatcost.txt as a lower priority. Meaning, strength and dexterity with the same priority, dexterity will appear above strength because strength has a lower ID. The indestruct property func 20 adds +1 item_indesctructible...

That's right, I didn't even think of that, the entire calculation is up to a maximum of mlvl, so the +1 should be within the min parentheses, as you have it.

aprildie , yes. You'd need to: (1) Open patch_d2.mpq with an mpq editor (2) Extract the data\global\excel folder (3) Put it into your Diablo 2 directory, keeping the same directory (so it should look like Diablo II\data\global\excel) (4) Use a sheet editor to modify cubemain.txt, I use AFJ Sheet Ed...

Hi Karyoplasma , I don't think it's possible to do that without code editing. Andariel has a hardcoded baseid that makes her into a unique monster and drops chipped gems, so the only way to make her compatible would be some janky system where you clone Andariel without her baseid and make it so she ...

My method has been to create a cube recipe that generates a specific level Large Charm in cubemain.txt, using any input to output the charm. cheat 1 100 1 any cm2,mag 53 0 And I also set the frequency column in magicprefix.txt of the affixes I want to 255, so that they are likely to spawn. (1) Spawn...

Oddly, I can't even seem to generate ilvl=53 large charms with either of the 2%+ magic find affixes. At ilvl=58, Lucky(4-6% MF) starts spawning, and then at ilvl=60, Lucky(2-3% MF) starts spawning. It's as if Large Charms have some secret, hidden effective ilvl deduction of -7. The same applies to o...

Hi aprildie . What you're looking for is the 'classspecific' column found in magicprefix/magicsuffix/automagic. If classspecific=class, then only class items of that class may spawn with that affix. Barbarians are of the bar class, so their barbarian only helms can gain the affix, but Druids are not...

Thanks eleriaqueen! That's not a D2R specific difference, that was my mistake in testing. Turns out Vengeance can't use elemental damage nor Etype; it always applies cold length with ELen regardless of the etype set. I've updated the guide accordingly.

See this thread: https://d2mods.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24813 You'll want to make use of calculations to make a new stat/skill add damage to minions. The easiest way would be to add the 'damagepercent' stat to minions equivalent to the amount of your new stat/skill, although a lot of pets already...

If I'm understanding properly, you'll want: For retaining exceptional on upgraded base: input: any,upg,exc output: useitem,mod,reg,exc For retaining elite on upgraded base and exceptional: input: any,upg,eli output: useitem,mod,reg,eli 'any' can be substituted with whatever you want, probably 'armo'...
