GFTO, this belongs in D2 Chatter, not this topic.

this topic was meant to stay dead till I had time to post screenshots, now I have this spam BS in, great work.

EDIT: seeing as I've asked Onyx to lock this thread to avoid more spam from you people, I'll just put a note here, for the other, more intelligent people who don't go around posting things like "this mod is dead":

This mod is [b]not[/b] dead, I'm actively working on this and Blackened, but right now the entire engine is being rewritten to allow maximum freedom with what I (and Adhin with Blackened) want to do, hence there are no screenshots.

One of the major milestones was reached about a month ago: I successfully bound LuaJIT deep into the D2 engine, so now skills, monsters, quests, UI or anything can be created and controlled with scripts.

Oh, and my changelog since the beginning of this year (when I got a new pc to replace the old stolen one), for people who like to read them like me:

- Fixed a scroll text patching bug, found while doing research
- Fixed some retarded duplicate globals and erronious naming of some vars and enums :)
- Added ITEMEVENTS_* tables to DLL relocation protection code.
- Fixed some badly named WClass enum's
- Optimized the WClass Lookup's a little (the constant lookup's still loop just to centralise any data changes)

- Fixed a logic error that reversed the order of script args into C functions
- Restored some commented out code that prevent the 'Load from HDD' option being set (its redundant now anyways...)

Adhin Bugs:
- You removed the space tbl entry, which buggers up a lot of desc code. next time, rather just ask me to chnage the code instead (it also means certain monsters have spaces in their names).
- did you removed the skill icon disable filters???

Bugs:
- SAVE_GetPath is unstable when 2+ diablo instances run (related to gpConfig)
- Fix some issues with item descs (weapon damage & costs are missing, the box can now go outside the screen bounds...) and do set item descs.
- Crashes on Win7SP1 (note: WinSrv08R2SP1 is fine) when running in fullscreen

Funny Bugs(Resolved):
- Monsters are attacking thin air(and suceeding!): might just be an invis monster?
- Lightning spells hit with the fire overlay: not on my side, wtf spell you using?

Blizzard Bugs:
- Monster corpses rotate by 1 slot when the death anim finishes...
Corpses don't store thier origional direction correctly, bugging the client (they rotate at randomly...)
- PSpells applied to equiped items pick up the item -.- (only happens on weapon/shield slot items...) -> Triggers from ITEMCMD_TYPE8
- Save game time and make it tick faster, 1 min real time should be about 4 to 8 min game time

- Added some patterns for unit mirages, no support for randomization just yet though
- Merged PSAPI back in for better error reports
- Updated UNITDRAW_LoadPalette to not try reload already loaded palettes, and improved checking speed.

- Improved some of the error handling code to make it safer and improve logging messages

- Added a WAY better way of saving skills, this allows skills to be give as quest rewards al la D1 style :)

very long change log :o

I'm interested on how hard it is to make the minion2 column useable along with minion1.

[Necrolis]

[quote=kidpaddle94"]very long change log :o[/quote]it actually omits a lot of smaller stuff, but it collates work on fixing my bugs and D2's, and work for both Blackened (notice all the fixes that blame Adhin as the cause :P) and DoD, but it skips out anything not code related, also a lot of stuff gets letf out from peroids where I'm too busy to fill it in (like recently, where I wrapped up the 3rd year of my undergrad and became a partner in two IT companies).

[quote=kidpaddle94"]I'm interested on how hard it is to make the minion2 column useable along with minion1.[/quote]I replaced the monster spawner, so it was simple for me, dunno how it would be to fix it from the assembly side (you'll probably need extra space to have coded to rotate between the two)

EDIT: why the hell is BBCode off in this topic.....

[kidpaddle94]

I was wondering why the BBcode is off to :/

"I replaced the monster spawner, so it was simple for me, dunno how it would be to fix it from the assembly side (you'll probably need extra space to have coded to rotate between the two)"

I see. I will make a topic in code editing, someone might know.

Well, you are doing some great work, and I'm really a fan of some modders like you, Kingpin and Nefarius, when it comes to coding.
Good luck with your project. Reading your to-do list, that seems to be a lot of work, and a lot more than anything I could do :)

[prodigypm]

Nice Changelog - I see big improOvments in this mod ...
I don't remember everything so can you answer it yourself ? :)

Do you think a high resolution is worth the reconstruction and are you in to make it a high res updated game by changing the engine :)

Cool updates again - Thanks

And BTW the whole spam can be avoided by just 1 post with changelog not with warnings Mr.PUNISHER ?
:)

[HarvestWombs]

OMG! This is why Necrolis is my fav modder...
Plus he has a good sense of humor. :P
