This is a follow-up to Kingpin and Mhyrginoc's thread here:
viewtopic.php?t=30865

PLEASE read that thread before continuing, I don't want to re-explain everything they discovered


However, once you've read that thread, and if you want to make those mods for Diablo II v1.11b, here you go:

You already posted this in the ancient thread you res'ed, this is akin to spamming rather just make the new topic, thanks in advance. Also use the [code.][/code.] tags to make stuff easier to read

Hello, I wonder if you'll answer my questions after so long time.

You made it in 1.11b, and now I would like to know how to make it in 1.13c.

I think the key part is `word ptr [2*ecx+6FDE5808]`, how to ensure the proper number in `[]`.

Thank you in advance.
