The Phrozen Keep

How do I make it so a skill's max level rises every six levels? I'm looking to do something like in the mod, Median XL where a skill starts out with a max level of 2 at its required level, and it increases by 1 every six levels. I've read 1.10 Formulae Guide, and I know I have to put something in th...

Hey phrozen, nice avatar graphic! (the one with Eddie Clause and the Deer) Seems like your avatars are changing just about everytime I log on. Hey, remember the time someone thought your shizu (sp?) was a walrus. he he he. Anyway, I missed seeing Tyreal as a turkey, but oh well, I get to see all the...

Thanks!

It's been a long time since I've been back and I seem to be unable to find the Infinitium, Incandescence and Diabolic Cartography. Could someone enlighten me?

Jay Wilson apologizes to Dave Brevik and the entire Diablo fan/player community for his facebook comment about him, and addresses major issues with Diablo III. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6398870250#1 As much as I really dislike the guy and think the whole team flopped on this one, mainly...

Double posting is obnoxious, but I'll post this as a separate post since it's absolutely not related to the preceding post. The big problem I have with Diablo 3's graphics is that everything just looks really undefined. While the concept art is great and very highly detailed, it translates very poor...

I like both Dragon Age Games, even though Dragon Age 2 was a bit disappointing. I give them both a 7/10 though, because while Dragon Age Origins has memorable characters and a great storyline, it is buggy as hell and has a crap game engine. Dragon Age 2 has annoying characters and a mediocre storyli...

It is now my personal goal to work for Blizzard Entertainment and become Game Director for Diablo IV. The story will be that you, the player, have to go back in time and prevent Tyriel from destroying the Worldstone, thus, Diablo III will have never happened.

nice monstahs you get here pk dudes :mrgreen: @rattlecage, can you make new anim for gears to make current d2 players more uberlooking? that would be super awesome :D That's something I'd like to do. I'd have to make new models of the characters and redo all the animations though. It's not somethin...

That thing is absolutely beautiful.

I read the story once and saw he use to destroy it when before he was seal with Tal Rasha. I don't know why. (and Baal spell [Ba el] not [Ba al] ? "Bail" is the traditional English pronunciation. "Bah-al" is the original Hebrew pronunciation. Sometimes it is spelled Ba'al to emphasize the original ...

Bah! You guys and your new fangled games. I'm adding new monsters the old fashion way.

The ones in that screenshot are all present in d2data.mpq and appear to be from a nearly complete version of the game. A quick Google search pulled up a page with some Diablo II pre-beta shots with some interesting items. http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?668737-Diablo-2-BETA-screens...

I was wondering if there's any chance of there being a Dark Alliance website again. It would be great to be able to see screen shots, read about features and see artwork and 3D renderings of the new monsters in the game. It would be a bit more organized than to have it all just on the message board.

A free graphics program I recommend is the GIMP. It's very much like Photoshop and gives you many of the same functions a well. The only problem is that the interface really sucks.

There's no cap in monlvl.txt so you can go as high as you want. Come to think of it, I think there is a cap but it's like 32,000 or something, so just don't have any monsters that are level 32,000.

Something like that. From what I understand, Joel is busy with RL stuff and it's also being developed alongside Metalstorm and will use that mod's features as a base from which to build upon. It will also use a 15 act structure, with each difficulty being the next 5 acts in the mod, so there's none ...

Didn't realize I was going off topic. You're right kingpin and I might touch on it in different thread for a different day.

I've seen statistics and Diablo III had already lost more than two thirds of its player base in one month. I knew it was going to suck the minute they started implementing WoW game mechanics during development. Jay Wilson admitted that he had never played the original Diablo. He based the game more ...

Volf retired from modding D2 which unfortunately means that this mod is as dead as dead can be.

Woops. Didn't realize it was for Kidpaddle's custom dll.

EDIT: I figured my problem. I had Steam running as well as an FPS limiter. Kidpaddle, you might want to see what background programs you have running that might be interfering with your modified .dll

I thought up a little idea generating game that may help some people that are having creative burnout or just need some ideas. I'll be using these in my D2 modding endeavors as well. Give me a noun, an adjective and a verb. Post as many as you want. Make them serious. Make them silly. Nothing is off...

I've been unable to get Diablo II to start since I built my new machine. I'm running Windows 7 on a Pentium i5 Quad Core with 16 gigs of RAM and an ATI Radeon 4600 series. I never had trouble running D2 on my old rig with Windows 7 64 bit, so I'm quite puzzled. It crashes with no error message and a...

Will this mod run in Windows 7 64 bit on newer hardware?

It's possible without CE. You change the 'qty' field in Missiles.txt
It needs a special skillstartfunc to work though, so check out skills like Strafe.
