Thanks for the new release, but I have a problem with the healing potion.
The one you call wine, well it looks like a wine bottle and takes up two spaces and can be used, but not in the belt. If you try to put it in the belt the game crashes. I don't if others are having this problem or not.

Hmm...I thought I disabled the wine from being put on the belt :|
Will check on it. In the meantime...don't put it on your belt!!

Will this mod ever come out for 1.11?.

There is a high possibility of this...depending on how far we come along with moving all of our hardcoded changes to 1.11.

Ok I believe I reinstalled my game to get 1.10 for no reason.. or what?... because I did what your readme says... and nothing works. the game just starts up normally. Only characteristics changed in the main menu is that "D2 mod system" shows in place of the pathc version...

Just a few bugs/issues/other random things (some of these are fairly obvious, you've probably noticed them):

Jehzerael and her escort are invisible

Town portal casting animation looks bugged (purple background, animation waaaaaay offset from where you actually cast it)

Skill description of Create Zombie says Skeletons instead of Zombies

Gambling is abusable early on - you can gamble wands and staves for 1000-2500 but they generally sell for 5000 because of staffmods. Probably also works in later acts as the max sale price increases. Prices of single skill bonuses could probably be reduced, all the stuff sold by Krysia etc. might actually be worth buying for a change...

"Entering The Mausoleum" displays when entering A Lair in passage from Horde Encampment to Deepwood Forest

Goblin Slayer comes as a suffix, this gives stuff like 'Dagger Goblin Slayer'. Maybe change to 'of Goblin Slaying', or make it a prefix? Also, modifier displays as '+50% to damage versus: Goblins:'.

Neutrilizer -> Neutralizer?


btw what does Disease do? Seems to slow enemies down, but does it do anything that Decrepify doesn't?

If the Flintstones has taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.

good catches...added to my task list to fix

Cause disease slows the target down, reduces damage resistance, and gives it a negative regeneration.

@ Ignotus: i think Darque's working on this bug, it's already been mentioned a few times

@ Darque: if Monks are supposed to use staves, chances are they won't be using Holy Shield :D
also if runestones can be gambled they should all be the same price - otherwise you can tell in advance which rune you're gonna get. it's made even easier by the fact that each runestone seems to be cheaper than the one before it (only tested this on the first 8), so if you want the best rune, just gamble the cheapest runestone :mrgreen:
cadance -> cadence

sorry if every post i make adds to the to do list, at least i only had 3 things this time...

In ACT2 I went down in the temple lvl5 and killed the "priest" at the symbols and the Journal, I read the journal but I don't know which is the den of the boss. At the Quest tab it says I cannot end the mission. What should I do?

Ignore that..that quest is currently bugged and I am trying to resolve it. You can still figure out which cave is the correct one by finding the passage with the missing symbol.

Done acts 2 and 3, here's my 2 cents...

Love the new tiles and terrain features in Act2, esp Mines of Kederrakoth 3 and Temple of Uggorha. They don't appear on the automap though, I'm guessing not much can be done about that.
Wall tiles in Bastion of Glandir/Citadel of Ril-Gawyn slightly bugged, random gaps all over the place
"Entering Tal Rasha'a Tomb" shows when entering A Passage
"Entering Flayer Jungle" shows when entering Orc Territory
Random extra words in Fara's introduction text and a few things Lore says
This comes up when fighting Ogre Warriors in act 2, and when fighting either Driders or Drow in the Outer Steppes (not sure which, both times it happened they were both on screen):

Assertion Failure
Location: D2Client\Engine\GfxUtil.cpp. line #1437
Expression:eComponent<NUM_COMPONENTS

Other general stuff:

Should Potions of Firebreath be getting magic mods? (Found a Triumphant Potion of Firebreath of the Leech)
Snowball displays Fireball's explosion graphic
Orc Shaman's Unholy Bolt seems to do ridiculous amounts of damage, almost a OHKO on my witch (guess it makes up for the witch being kinda easy, never came close to getting killed till then)
Found a rare charm, have these been reinstated in THoC?

Darn...thought I got rid of bug with driders and ogres :x
Potion of Firebreath is actually an unfinished item.

Rare charms are enabled in THoC :)

Will add others bugs to my task list :) Thnx

I have the same error that six wrote I'm at the Act3 boss but the driders kill the game :( When is it going to be done? In a new version(b8.2)? And when is it going to be avaible? I can hardly wait!

Yay, finished normal with my witch :D
Once a witch hits lvl30 she becomes an unstoppable death machine - by lvl35 the enemies had to fight their way through an army of 8 demons, a lvl3 clone and an act2 defensive merc and also survive a lvl7 thunder storm and lvl3 hurricane before they could even touch her (runes giving +1 to all skills while requiring only clvl21 may have some *slight* balance issues). Aside from Durhanna, Lister the Tormentor and Bursantas, pretty much everything was toast inside 5 seconds :firedevil:
And then even when something did survive, cyclone armor, protection of the goddess and maxed resists ensured it did pathetic damage.

Minions are useless against Durhanna and Bursantas though, their lack of resistances (in contrast to their huge physical defences) mean they die almost instantly. Toning down their defence (or removing act2 defensive mercs) and improving their resistances would make them slightly more balanced in melee and not immediate toast against elemental attacks. Just an idea. Demons probably become redundant by Hell difficulty, but they make act5 normal a joke, in melee even the Ancients couldn't scratch them.

Apart from the Drider assertion, found no real bugs in act4/5 :)
But.....
- Nihlathak looks completely different in town and halls of vaught
- Drow mages in act5 say undead under the health bar
- Sorrow Keep says Entering Nihlathak's Temple

On to Nightmare before Real Life kicks in again :roll:

Thanks for the feedback.
as to the drider assertion problem...I still do not know what is causing them. Last attempt to resolve it included moving the tokens to overwrite an existing token instead of being a new animation token. :|

It was a miracle that in the 3rd floor at A3Q6 there wasn't any Driders and I was able to get to Act4. For a while I can play and Driders aren't crashing the game but I've tried again and again to pass by the River of Flames but the error occurs and breaks the game (and my mood as well :cry: ). Is there a surmounting solve? /sry 4 my English/

Hi,
I don't know if that really is a bug, but i can't terminate act II. It says to look for the dwarven crown in the gnoll den, but there is none. When i kill the gnoll chief and open the blinking box, there is the sound of some armor piece falling out, but nothing is there! How do i finish the act?
If i enter tal rashas tomb (it says so) and go to the orifice it says "impossible" when I try to click it.

Still, Lore tells me about me wearing that elven crown i dont even have and that i should put it in the cube and get loose of the sockets. But i have no crown. I just got the viper amulet. What do I do wrong??
