Keep Update 10/28/2005

Post by onyx » Fri Oct 28, 2005 10:08 am

Another week has passed in the modmaking world and it's time to summarize the new releases, discoveries and related news. Sit back and relax while I guide you through the rest of the news update process (I almost sound like the MS Windows 98 installation setup):


:victory: FOR THOSE WHO PREFER 1.11B
Coding guru Yohann released two plugins - Dual Player D2gfx and Fix TXT Opened Files With MS Excel, which, if my memory serves me well, are the first .dll plugins for patch 1.11b. Dual Player D2gfx allows you to run more than one instance of the game on the same computer, Fix TXT Opened Files With MS Excel allows you to keep the .txt files opened in MS Excel while you test your changes in -direct-txt mode. In any case, both are very important to those of you who work with the latest Blizzard patch, so enjoy and don't forget to credit Yohann :)


:pong: FOR THOSE WHO STILL USE 1.10
Even after the release of 1.11 and then 1.11b, many modmakers (me included) prefered to stick to 1.10 for their projects and one of the biggest reasons for that is the D2Mod system by SVR. This week co-admin Myhrginoc updated his D2Mod GemFix plugin to version 1.01, which fixes some display anomalies present in the previous version. You can get the new plugin and get rid of your gem display bugs by clicking this link.


:scratchhead: FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Are you confused by all those strange columns in the .txt files and don't know where to start? Fear not, as we have two new file guides this week. The Missiles.txt file guide by Nefarius and Brother Laz will explain all those attributes that you need to assign to your new missiles. You can read this one here. The MonEquip.txt file guide by Nefarius is the place to go if you want to give items to your monsters. You can read it here.


:juggle: FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PLAY
Seems like forum moderator Volf had some free time in his hands this week, as he wrote a nice new review for the latest version (1.17) of Median_2 by Brother Laz. If you still haven't been convinced that you should try this mod, the review should do it. Read it and let the fun begin! Just in case you're wondering - the mod supports both 1.10 and 1.11, so you shouldn't have problems ;)


:poofmad: FOR THOSE WHO KNOW NOTHING
Co-admin Nefarius made a riddle for you to solve. Can you guess what's cooking? Here's a little hint provided by Nefarius himself: It is the bright star just above the horizon guiding the way, with ever more twisted content to prelude one into insanity - almost since the begin of history. You know the answer? You want to give it a shot? You can directly send a private message to Nefarius.


Getting ready to run Windows for the first time... errr, excuse me :oops: This is the end of this week's update.

Bye! :mrgreen:
