PlugY question

[konva]

Hello, I find the new plugY pretty decent, also the possibility to add the latest plugy for zyel 4.4B version? I like the option opf change stash tab name. Thank you so much

[Texalic]

I think that you should be able to update your mod files with the latest version of plugy, it should work fine.

Have you tried that.

[konva]

@Talic it somehow set config to reflect higher version. Used imstaller and set file patch option, game crashes upon start, when i try to set options like -w -3dfx ... it starts, but cant enter new char, it says generic bad data

Checking currently, it seems that it works fine with D2SE. - I'm talking about 4.4c version, didn't find b version, but it should be the same.

Well, running the game without D2SE, it doesn't open on my side, I guess it doesn't work with windows 10, at least 1.09d doesn't want to run.

Though it works with D2SE, but D2SE has its own tricks.

Do you have D2SE Modmanager.

[konva]

Yeah, its 4.4C sorry for wrong version statement. Ye, I have both. I can manage to run separate zyel and D2SE. With D2SE im not sure how to add plugy new version. But I try something

You can backup your game folder first, just in case, just copy paste it.

I've used ZIP version of Plugy, never had to use installer...

Update PlugY folder which is located in your root folder of diablo 2, since you have D2SE you will have that folder. - main file you will need is LocalizedStrings.ini, but update other files too, why not.

I guess you know how to setup up mod for diablo with D2SE setup - you can copy paste below text and save it as d2se setup ini as it is on the picture...and copy paste latest plugy ini and dll file in the same folder where is your mod located.

Plugy should allow you to reset stats and skills, but it seems it doesn't work, I guess that ZyEl doesn't allow that



You can also create some "ModBanner=ZyEl.bmp" file so it shows nice in D2SE...
This should work fine.

Ahh dont know why, but its working. Thank you @Talic I tried many things.. maybe direct txt was causing bugs in D2SE setup ini... one more question. There is something called mod maker, which allows to set some things.. like drop rates, jewels with melee splash, and some other {filtered}. How do I increase monster density on zyel? That tool doesnt work with zyel, it works on game 1.13+

[Texalic]

NP.

No idea about mod maker (randomizer), I see how it is supposed to work but my guess is that it won't work on already created mods which are very different from vanilla game.

Maybe you can export the content of Patch_D2.mpq file from zyel, but then you need to know which files to edit, to increase only the density I guess it wouldn't need a lot of work, but that's just my guess.

Try reading tutorials on how to mod, I'm sure it covers that part of modding.

[konva]

@talic exactly this I tried. But when I tried to start via direct txt it crashes. Maybe I did something wrong? I can put the data to mods/zyel for d2se?

[Texalic]

If I enable direct txt (to 1) in d2se setup file and modable to 1 game runs here.

I would say that if you have done some changes and game crashes now, then sth is wrong.

I can't help you here, I have no idea about moding, maybe rather open new topic in general modding area..., I know that enabling those things means that d2se will first load the data from data folder and then all other things from mpq if I'm not wrong.

Yes, data folder goes in the same folder where other mod files are located MODS\ZyEl\data
