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

[Necrolis]

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...).

Just replace the dlls with the edited ones, which you can download here.

-----------------------------------------------------------

this is done, and allows up to 255 levels in total, the edits are simple clear but you'll still need some knowledge to apply them.

unfortunatly 1.13c' inline policly wasn't too kind, so the D2GetAct function got inlined in a few places, these places need to instead do this

Code: Select all

PUSH <nLevel>
CALL D2Common.GetAct
INC EAX
JMP <location of the JL of the origional loop>

the code to replace D2Common.#10459(GetAct) with looks like so:

Code: Select all

MOV EAX,DWORD PTR [ESP+4]
CMP EAX,DWORD PTR [6FDF0B34]
JNB BAD_EXIT
IMUL EAX,EAX,0x220
ADD EAX,MOV DWORD PTR [6FDF0B30]
MOVSX EAX,BYTE PTR [EAX+3]
RETN
BAD_EXIT:
XOR EAX,EAX
RETN

now the actual places to edit In D2Common:

Code: Select all

D2Common:
//D2GetAct__inline:(best to rather make these all call D2Common.#10459)

[Yaherl]

can you upload the edited files?

[Necrolis]

can you upload the edited files?

sure, when I get time to make them though

[Mnw1995]

Yeah, that would be really nice! I don't understand what to do with this, too...

[kidpaddle94]

indeed, that would be great.

[MRCellSynap]

this edit, just so I am clear, is to be able to add new locations to the acts, such as the cave level 3 in act 1? or wsk level 4?

if so this would be VERY useful for me and I appreciate the effort for it Necro

[Yaherl]

then this anymore?

[Necrolis]

then this anymore?

everything you need is in the first post, ie: its done, just not tested...

[kingpin]

I'm sure he is asking for a extended lvl plugin, not everyone can or want ce

ps! couldn't see any link in case you already had release a plugin in topic.

ah, should probably steal some time off work to do this then, boss shouldn't mind

[kidpaddle94]

I thought you also need to create an extra dll like the 1.10 version.

[PureRage]

No, you dont need an extra dll for 1.10 either, its available as a d2mod plugi,n but you can apply the edits manually if you want to.

[kidpaddle94]

okay I see.

[Yaherl]

i try to do this but i can't
i don't know much about code editing :S

[GeorgiaBoy]

Hi Necrolis,

Any word on this? Do you plan on 1.10 as well that allows beyond 255 levels? That may be popular as well...

Thanks,

GB

Thanks,

this is not a 1024 level variant, nor do I plan on release that for any version (or any other plugins for that matter)

[kidpaddle94]

I would like to do it, but I think the only part I can do is the D2Client edits. >.<

1024 levels (patch 1.10f) single player? Cool.

[Necrolis]

And now edit bumping isn't working (or it only applies to the last post...).
I've added dll's now, see the first post, please test and give feedback (no feedback means no bug fixes).

I will be able to test it Monday, if someone didn't already did.

And thanks

You can change the constant to allow 1024 levels, that not issue with extend levels past 255. The problem is some unit like objects is using a BYTE to store ID with. that limits the level to 255 as you wont be able to use town portals e.tc past 255 without recode this too.

[kidpaddle94]

Okay, so far I tested on a clean 1.13c copy. No crashes. The waypoint page is also working well (That's a problem I got when I tried to port exteneded levels edits to 1.13c)

Will take more time to test if newly added levels work, because I've never added new levels yet. Will have to review what needs to be done and so on.
Unless someone can provide some basic level that could be implemented easily from their 1.10 mod

[MarcoNecroX]

can't download mirror anyone?

[kidpaddle94]

Uhmm, the link still works for me. Though Gamefront removes files if they don't get enough downloads a month, so if you don't mind Necrolis, I've uploaded a mirror on my dropbox:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74099577/Diablo ... Levels.zip

I have yet to try to add a new level to see if it works good.

[MarcoNecroX]

thanks

sadly, I'm getting error 798 , same error that I'd normally get without the dlls. i just used a preset level I already had and modified values to match . not sure what went wrong
