The Phrozen Keep

The only thing useable in ToEE is a few maps as the majority are split into multi-part. I'm using one of the maps in 13. See my album. The ones that are useable take a bit of editing before converting for D2 usage. :( The "monster" anims, I couldn't find a way to convert them and I can't remember wh...

Just add it yourself, anything from armor.txt and weapons.txt will work in misc.txt.

I thought it had to be added after a certain collumn but this could be just the way the thing I read was perceived.

I could be wrong but I'm sure there is something somewhere that tells you about armour.txt, misc.txt + weapons.txt being combined at game start and it tells you where to add the autoprefix collumn.

Did you include the bin files in the mpq?

Of all the things to happen when I have got no choice in letting real life intervene, this has to happen. :( You lucky people (to be polite) who get to beta test. ;) By the way, I only stopped playing due to the "Laz" anim error which after a re-install (and slight tinkering) still happened. I must ...

How about a "Most interesting Screenshot" of the week, although not sure how you could check it as the option to view the latest screenshots has vanished from the album pages (or am I just blind again). I agree with sPoT on the post thing but mainly because some modders don't title their posts too w...

but here is the confirmation that Diablo III was underway I wouldn't say it was confirmation but just discussing things about what they had intended for D2. I found it interesting that they were planning a "town" where all could meet like in chat. Now what Blizzard game has that in it and is making...

I got up this morning and thought "didn't Nefarius post a tutorial on this somewhere"
kb/viewarticle?a=200

That was the other way

In ItemTypes.txt put a 1 in the magic collumn for arrows.
In MagicSuffix.txt + MagicPrefix.txt create new lines with the damage you are wishing and set the Itype to bowq.

Think that's all you would have to do.

There is another way but don't have time to explain just now.

Google has a mass of related sites with the word Diablo, so anybody who has joined Googles AdSense program will get a rotation of all the sites that have Diablo related material. The wording on the front page does make the PK ideal for the advert. I wonder if Google will get a warning about advertis...

Got it working now
deadcol makes the corpse unwalkable.
unflatDead is for "upright/vertical" corpse anims in monsters that appear like objects in the game.
So a combination of both makes the monster unwalkable and have a floating or vertical corpse just like an object.

Cheers Malifrax.

I have a number of new monster anims that have a corpse floating in mid air and need the corpse to be unwalkable. Problem is that when using the unflatDead collumn in Monstats2.txt, the corpses can still be walked into, so to speak. I have tested it with other "normal" corpses and they have the same...

Go to http://enphilistor.50megs.com/irtc.htm to see some of my work. I'm impressed. I only dl'd one of the mpg's but found it interesting may I say. :) That would be good as an online series with some adult humour chucked in. ;) The other idea I had was to write an engine that could support an FPS ...

The reason I am interested in developing a new game engine is because there were things I would like to see in D3 that can't be put into a D2 mod without major code editing (rewriting, really). First, a backstory in which the Usual Suspects have embarked on an invasion of every mortal plane. Conseq...

I'm intrigued
What exactly does the "archive" hold?

I used to have a link to people who delve into such stuff but after my recent misfortune/hd failure (which u know) I don't have it anymore

Out of curiosity, what is a LOT file?

For a monster to die/kill itself upon entering the "screen" for a drop (which I'm supposing you are meaning) you can do this by possibly entering a 1 in the DT line of the monster in AnimData.d2 + the corresponding cof file. (can't quite remember exactly what) :( I had this problem recently but fixe...

Ach well, thanks for the info.

I can live in hope of someone having already having found this and will post. (Doubting it though)

I'll mess with the texts for now and see what I can come up with.

This is so by design to avoid infinite loops.

I had an idea that might be said.

There is no way to bypass this without CE.

Would it take much to do this?
If not, bump this to Code Editing where it belongs and perhaps explain what to do with Ollydbg in simple brain terms please.

I cloned the skeleton lines (for test purposes) in Monstats + Monstats2 and made them independant of each other = seperate BaseId etc. I want to make a chain of monsters that always spawn together. The problem I'm having is that using the Minion1/PartyMin/PartyMax/Boss etc collumns, I can only ever ...

If they had a quality manager 1.11 would not have been released.

Anyhoo, never knew that debugging was "offed" in 1.11. Learn something new everyday.

And which function is it? My counter does not count kills by mercs, summons etc.

There was a seperate dll fix in another post I had a while ago but it screwed up using the killcounter.dll for some reason or another so I had to make do with player only kills

Just use any skill casting monster+AI and look at MonAi.txt as this will explain what the AI does, you can then set the collumns accordingly to what you want. The invisible part would mean creating new dcc's with "blank" frames that correspond with the monster using the cloned token. Monsters not in...

Well, it now seems this post is D1 v D2 ;) IMO D2 has more better graphics/areas compared to D1 which in it's day was good but we can look back now and say that "all dungeon" scenario was a bit boring after much game play. The same thing could now be said about D2 as constant play v random generatio...

It would require some extensive CE as normal hirelings don't have this option anyway
