:cutysmiley: can I have the source ??? or are they packed with the pack ??

[kingpin]

Nice work, i knew you would have done this until i was awake

Now we can start working on transfering our codes into 1.10.

[Alkalund]

or are they packed with the pack ??

The source was not included with the file.

Nice work afj666, you've been doing some truly awesome code editing stuff these past weeks

Nice work afj666, you've been doing some truly awesome code editing stuff these past weeks

Thx Alkalund.

I have uploaded a newer version of the pack. This time with VC++ 6.0 source code, based on Joels D2Extended.dll source

Edit: Thx to Joel for this incredible tool

Heya

We got a new beta patch, an some may be interested in an updated version off these files.

Both the beta1 and beta2 are packed here.

Nice and quick work here. The new patch has been out for less than 24 hours and you have already updated the code

Bleh

I must be doing something wrong, but when I try to load Diablo using this plugin I get an unhandled exception. I redownloaded and reinstalled the dlls to make sure I had the newest ones. The only modded dlls I'm using are these and the Level/Prestlvl plugin.

The diablo error log yields: "Error opening file: data\local\lng\ENG\CustomString.tbl" (The file is there.)

The CustomTbl.log says the dll was successfully hooked and patched.

The command line I'm using is:
"D:\Diablo II\Diablo II\Game.exe" /dll "D:\Diablo II\Diablo II\D2CutomTbl.dll" -w -direct -txt

[kingpin]

Try this instead, not sure that it takes a path in the /dll

This works for me.

"D:\Diablo II\Diablo II\Game.exe" /dll "D2CutomTbl.dll" -direct -txt -w

[Kurziel]

Yep, that was the issue.

The ReadMe.txt for the plugin says to use /dll <d2path>D2CustomTbl.dll which is what got me started on the path I was using...no pun intended...

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: Actually, this doesn't fix it for me. The Unhandled Exception just occurs in a different spot now. Happens right after selecting a character (before the loading screen even appears). Currently using the command line Kingpin listed earlier, no modded tbl's (removed them for testing), and the base CustomString.tbl that comes with the plugin.

The commandline you are using are perfectly correct, and should work. BUT how are you executing the game. Are you using a shortcut? If so how does that look. Or are you using a VBA script?

I'm using a shortcut with the command line in the Target, and the "Start in" pointing to my mod directory (D:\Diablo II\Diablo II\mods\gemini).

Never seen that config before. Have you tried moving the dll to you mod dir and change the path to it?

[kingpin]

Thats exactly how i do.

using a diabloII\mods\modname

The important here is where you have put the CustomTbl.dll file.

This file should be in D:\Diablo II as example if that are your game directory.

I see that your path down here looks strange.

"D:\Diablo II\Diablo II\Game.exe" /dll "D:\Diablo II\Diablo II\D2CutomTbl.dll" -w -direct -txt

Are your game in D:\Diablo II or D:\Diablo II\Diablo II ?

[Kurziel]

My game directory was actually D:\diablo ii\diablo ii\. I had a double installation of diablo (1.09 and 1.10). However, it was not performing as I had intended/thought. So I uninstalled all versions of diablo, reinstalled LoD, patched on b.net and patched to 1.10s.

Game directory: D:\diablo ii\
Mod directory: d:\diablo ii\mods\gemini
Shortcut to activate the game:
Target: "D:\Diablo II\Game.exe" /dll "D2CustomTbl.dll" -direct -txt -w
Start in: "D:\Diablo II\mods\gemini"

D2customtbl.dll, and modded D2Win.dll, D2Lang.dll installed into the Game directory, and CustomString.tbl installed into data\local\Lng\Eng in the Mod directory. Currently the CustomString.tbl is the only thing in the mod directory.

Added things back in slowly to try and pinpoint the problem.

With nothing changed, the game runs fine.

Add the modded dll's (D2win, D2lang and D2CustomTbl) and the game crashes before the title screen comes up. Game yields an Unhandled Exception. The CustomTbl.log (located in the mod directory), says the dll was successfully hooked and patched. Diablo error file says, "Error opening file: data\local\lng\ENG\CustomString.tbl."

Add the CustomString.tbl into the mod directory. Game crashes immediately after selecting a character. Game yields the following Assertion: "Location: D2Common\DATATBLS\DataTbls.cpp, line #2243 Expression: your data table is the wrong size -- do you have stale data?" CustomTbl.log says the dll was successfully hooked and patched. Diablo error txt repeats the Assertion message.

And thats where I am now. Sorry the post is so long. Was trying to be as detailed in my problem, and what I've tried as possible.

BTW, using D2CutomTbl.dll dated July 8, D2Lang.dll dated Aug 5, and D2Win.dll dated Aug 5.

EDIT: fixed a typo and added dll dates.
EDIT2:(in response to untamed below) The command line is as it appears above. The dll appears to be installing, seems to be an issue with reading the tbl file. All installed files were installed via cut/paste to avoid typos.

[Untamed]

any typos in the command line? i noticed that it says D2cutomtbl.dll (minus the "S") in several places and if you copied and pasted it directly from your shotcut...

yeah, its a longshot, but i thought i would be nice and point it out just in case

now i know what your problem are. The problem itself isn't the any of the dll's. Try removing the -txt parameter from the shortcut and you game will run smothly. You HAVE to put all txt files into your mod dir else this error will come up (I know cause I have had this error myself about 10 times)

EDIT: Removed lot of the quoted message. Not really necessary

[kingpin]

I guess its enough to run with atleast one text file in there. Since thats somethings i have done a lot of times

[Kurziel]

ok, added an unmodded armor.txt into the mod directory. Game crashes immediately after character selection. Game yields an Unhandled Exception. Customtbl.log says the dll is successfully hooked and patched. Diablo error txt lists an unhandled exception in D2lang.dll.

[afj666]

It would be nice to see the error

Here is what I think you should do:

1. Make a shortcut to game.exe
2. Put this and D2CustomTbl.dll into you mod dir
3. change the paths in the shortcut accordingly
4. Make sure than NO other dll files have been editied other than D2Lang.dll and D2Win.dll
5. Make sure you mod dir have at least data\global\excel (no files are needed in there, this is only for .bin creation)
6. Also make sure you are using the right version of the dll files (I assume you already have, but just to be sure )

Hope it helps

Important Upgrade

Since I joined Kingpin's DA mod we have been experiencing some strange fog related assertions. After intense bug hunting it appeared to be my D2CustomTbl.dll file that had a bug. I had merely forgot to add
memory deallocation to the dll

But anyway, now this has been fixed and i have put up a 1.10s version of the files. If you need the 1.10 beta1 or 1.09 bug fix just PM me, or post it here, and I'll se what I can do.

file: Custom Tbl 1.10s

[afj666]

1.10 Final Update

with no further presentation....: CustomTblPlugin-1.10 FINAL

[Joel]

You get the extra dll to load nice ?
All my attempts failed ibnt he infamous "Unauthorized Lock Attempt" error !

Any details before I go over and recode all my nifty snippet ??
(of course, we can discuss this on PM to preserve this topic)
