It isn't D2SE, it is non-standard patching of old software on Windows 10
Like I sad before I am just a player (I don't understand what is what in modding :) ) I still use win 7 (my hardware easily support win10) but I play Diablo 2 mods and Baldur's Gate mods so I feel more comfortable with win 7.

Regarding the difficulties you encounter I don't know what advice to give :( Maybe the community of moders is able to help you (@Necrolis seems to follow your work and give advises). From my side all I can do is to wish luck and patience :roll: sorry is little .... but when your mod will be releasable I will play with great pleasure :twisted:

Yes, I do have some much appreciated expert assistance! We'll get through this, then I can go back to ironing out the actual mod problems and finishing the long-awaited features. Elder beware!

Just a heads up, I got wind of a trip I'll need to take, could be any day. I figure the DLL mess will take some time to work through, as Necrolis posted there are land mines just by nature of working in Windows 10 with new tools, something this hobby coder gets to find out the hard way. Or it could be one or two Visual Studio settings away...

After a month, no visible changes. I am rebuilding more code than expected, this is not quick work. Code rebuild is about half done, but I have the worst parts completed (I think).

Where the heck has he been???     It occurred to me that I have been missing in action longer than I ever expected. Apologies to any and all for a much slower re-emergence for this mod!

<rant><whine>I would like to say I have been coding, but we had a big dust-up in the non-digital world and that has sucked up a lot of bandwidth. Never let anybody tell you the law is no deterrent, if is wasn't I would have been seriously medieval on somebody's ass. Forecast is cloudy until the end of the year, because I need a certain level of calm to code effectively. Can't load the mod and debug other stuff until the code is cleaned up.</whine></rant>

Hey, it takes as long as it takes, based on your available free time and levels of stress. For values of <stress> that include <The nigh irresistible desire to choke the ever-living **** out of some ******** that richly deserves it>.

Good luck, and if a certain person or people should have unfortunate experiences, well, clearly that couldn't have been you, you were somewhere else entirely at the time, chatting with folks on here. :lol:
