[1.13c] Extended Levels (Now with Dlls!)

[Necrolis]

I suspect this does not extend the number of playable levels past 255...any updates KP/Nec?

Thanks!

Yeah, this is purely up to 255 levels, I only ported AFJ's old patches for this, I can make a 1024 levels plugin for 1.10, but first I have to finish something for TrueMage

Thanks! Debating on modding more d2 or going to Torchlight 2

[devurandom]

I finally took some time to port this over to [1.13d]

If anyone is interested in testing send me a PM

Probably ported for 255 levels, but maybe 1024 levels?

Yes its a binary port of what Necrolis posted. So its 255 levels.

Lolet's code may be possible to go to 1024 levels.

@devurandom: Will you include that into your mod package?

Cheers

[devurandom]

yes

It doesn't either. Expanding to a possibility of 1024 levels (without any issue) requires many changes. You got to replace the town portal and red portal init/operate functions, rewrite a few packet receptor functions, both client and server, expand the object data, and there might be some more I don't remember.

Forgive me for Necro'ing this, but does anyone still have the 1.13c extended levels .dll? Every single link in this thread is sadly long past dead and I haven't been able to find anything on google.

Yes, Here

Thanks a ton, kidpaddle!

Update: Got a few more requests to do this, and seeing as I actually had some time, uploaded the edited dll's to this post, my testing was very brief (I just made sure automap files & a few levels loaded, thats it...).

Thank you Necrolis for this big update
I've been using this in my mod for a year and I got something
a lot of users, most with windows 10, got a really random error when creating a room.
Why random? Because if you restart you computer, it might get solved and enter games normaly
but sometimes it's necessary to restart like 5-10 times untill the error stops

In my computer the problem is less often, but today I had it, then I've changed all my dlls to the originals, for dll by dll testing, and when I put originals + extended levels I got the error

Here the d2 log: D2190911.zip

Its likely that these are due to missing .reloc entries, I am likely not going to fix this, hence why the code was made available.
I believe devurandom has incorporated these fixes into BaseMod, which supports 1.13c and 1.13d. I would recommend using this instead.

[devurandom]

A while back I ported Necrolis Extended Levels to 1.13d from this post. I don't remember having any issues
but, I test mostly in older versions of windows.

I had issues porting this to 1.14d, so I ended up rewriting the automap functions for Ext Lvls to get it to work in all the D2 versions I work with.

EDIT:

@b1n

Check for XPSP3 compatibility Mode for Game.exe in CE patch methods.

[b1n]

yah It's hard to "know" the error because that I said, isn't every time, isn't every windows, some people never had the error with the same configurations as another that had crashs more often hahah
but I assume that older versions doesn't have errors through

Thanks for your answer devurandom, I've never made this compatibility in CE methods, I'll research. If already exists any topic, please let me know
