    • Introduction of Treasure Goblin Plugin


      Hello, I am Nizari and I'v been reading Phrozen Keep regularly since about 10 years. Somewhere at the end of 2017, I have joined the Discord channel, promising myself to register on the forum too at some point. In december I have asked Jetaman if he would be able to rip Treasure Goblin animations from Diablo 3. I always wanted to implement these exciting monsters in the mod I'm working on since years, also, I always wanted to release some nice public plugin, to give something from me to the community, which would be useful for other modders. Jetaman has agreed on helping to achieve this together. All those things gave me a perfect opportunity/reason to register on the forum and great material for the plugin.
      The first animations we had were looking like this:
      Image
      Additionally, the death animation has been completly broken and unable to be ripped.
      Not long after, with my suggestion of merging D2's red portal animation with the goblin, Jetaman did this fantastic thing:
      Image
      We had all the animations ready. I have also succesfully implemented it into the game and configured everything. At this moment 2 problems occured: how to make the portal animation transparent and how to make the goblin truly and permanently dissapear after he "runs away" through his portal (believe me, it's not as easy as it sounds). Thanks to Necrolis, who has taught me...

    • Eastern Sun Rises Beginnings


      About half a year ago I started to share my modifications I made for Eastern Sun. I began with little fixes and the Gold pickup.dll. I continued to fix bugs and balance a few things. I also introduced new items and replaced many item graphics. Not all of these changes were well received by all players. I remember discussions in a length the ES Subforum hasnt seen in a long time. Back then I decided to change the name to Eastern Sun Rises to cut short all those discussions whether it's still an unofficial patch or an independent mod. As a result Eastern Sun Rises yet again, like a phönix out of the ashes.
      Around that time we started tou use discord and what can I say, it has been a blast. Since then about every other day new people join us to play some ES again and talk about old times. ESR as it is began to grow, not comparable to mods like Path of Diablo or Resurgence, but for ES itself quite a lot. We continued to add QoL features like Bufficons and the possibility to dye your equipment as you want. You might have noticed that I spoke of us. Back then aught/mak, thaison and sky aka max joined to devteam to help out here and there. Without the help of mnw1995 and dav92 that wouldnt have been possible either. Another shout out to Ogodei and Spike who helped me on many small things that I cant count anymore.
      Most of you have noticed for sure,...

  • Staff news

    • ITS ABOUT TIME!!!

      Yes, I know we been off with news for years. This doesnt means there havent been any news to report. It have only been the staff been busy for different reasons and haven't put the needed effort into news.

      But, there is a change to come.....

      Yes, YES yessss...

      You know what I'm going to talk about.

      We all know about Diablo 2: Resurrected are coming. A date is known for quite some time now and Diablo 2: Resurrected alpha was earlier this year around februari for invite only. As we lacked invite to alpha we couldnt cover it from own gameplay experience.

      Early Access beta starts 13 Aug, 2021 and will contain first and second chapter like the closed alpha. We will have access to two additional classes Paladin and Druid. This means 5 classes is accessable now. Only Necromancer and Assassin are missing out now. that will be available at launch.

      Open beta starts 20 Aug, 2021 and will contain same as early access.

      You can read more about it here at Blizzard section

      There is somethings interesting to read in their FAQ that give some valued information. As Phrozen keep is mainly a community about modding the Diablo 2: Resurrected will change modding alot.

      Lets head over the FAQ and I will make some comments to them.
