The Phrozen Keep

Will do, I will definitely need all the information I can get if I get started again.

I was meaning more towards the conversion of graphics but if I have time I might try to work on a .cof maker again...Its the main reason I got upset when i lost some of my stuff. I had layering of seperate parts in different directions with a preview partially working and spent a lot of time on it. ...

Sorry about the broken links, I had a bad fallout with my web-host deleting some of my WIP work (The sources of my .cof editor, My in progress conversions, and my custom modded source of WoW model viewer just to name some of the stuff that pertains to D2) and migrated my data to another server. The ...

Just so you know the section of code your in deals with the handling of windows messages and is most certainly D2's WndMsgProc function which in c++ is usually defined similar to this... WndMsgProc(HWND hWnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch(msg) { case WM_PAINT: //Drawing Code Here ...

i'd like to re-learn everything from scratch, as there are things that i really don't get. If you have any programming experience at all I would recommend finding out what exactly you are lacking and then brush up on them. If its bad habits your looking to get rid of look online for some beginner p...

Hard to grasp what he means exactly, He could be meaning to write a tutorial and asking where to begin as he said "If I were to write an into..." as that is what I thought when I first read it. But anyway assuming that your asking for help in getting started I'll add my answer :P . First your gonna ...

Been brainstorming about this for a while, and figured out a workaround that would keep me from having to write a .dcc decoder/encoder to fix the layer priority issues. The inspiration came from this sentence by Necrolis... the COF can pretty much be generated directly from the DCC. I know he meant ...

Thanks for this Necrolis, Almost forgot that essentially everything in D2 is a Unit... union //D2UnitStrc + 0x14 { D2PlayerData* pPlayerData; D2ItemData* pItemData; D2MonsterData* pMonsterData; D2ObjectData* pObjectData; D2MissileData* pMissileData; }; Now that I look over the Unit structure this sn...

I've made a little progress since I said I would look into it. It's been slow going though as I ran out of free time faster than I thought I would, I should have some more free time in a few days and be able to finish up on some conversions and work a little more on my custom Dll framework(which by ...

This is easily solved :D , just change the render background color in maya to (255, 0, 255...its a very bright pink) the background color of the image doesn't haft to be (0, 0, 0) since this can be changed later by any number of programs. I can't give instructions on how to do this with maya since I...

What did you use to change your resolution?, if your using D2ExpRes for 1.10 it comes with an .ini file to change the coordinates of the gui pieces. If your edited the game yourself, you will need to look for the position for the gui components manually and update them to what you need. Please list ...

Not only nicer, but code is cleaner and it is easier to read since the Declaration and Definition are on the same line . Believe it or not, I completely forgot about this .

Probably not worth mentioning but I believe that you could also use ZeroMemory(&struct, sizeof(struct)), as its what I've been using and seems to work fine. In your case it would be RECT Rect; ZeroMemory(&Rect, sizeof(RECT)); //Just a slight little change, no start address needed Rect.left = 20; Rec...

Flesh Golem is finished and uploaded! More to come soon and also working on a few of the "fun" conversions .

hmm, I figured the way Win7 and Win8 store memory would be about the same. Try the Extended Levels plugin for D2Mod 1 more time, except this time try v1 of the plugin(as far as I know the keeps File Center only has v2). I answered a post where a guy couldn't get v2 to work but v1 would a couple week...

You talking about the Entry Dc6 file for a lvl? Where exactly are you putting it(include the full path starting from data/).

All work fine as I've tested them, what kind of trouble are you having exactly? I'm guessing c000005 errors, since I have had a bit of trouble with them also(I fixed my errors by editing the dlls manually). For 1.13 Necrolis' dlls are great and he even explains how its done. But I do have the edits ...

I don't think that they have stopped supporting Diablo 2 just yet, I mean its worth a shot contacting them and see what they say just in case they would help you. When I linked the TOS I wasn't meaning this situation is documented in there, only that there is something similar mentioned in it involv...

Well I don't really know how you would solve this, Maybe you misread/mistyped one of the letters or numbers as its very easy to do. If I was in your position I would google for others with the same problem and see how they solved their problem, your bound to find a solution. If you take a picture of...

The next batch of conversions is almost ready and will be posted as soon as I deem them ready. The names of the creatures will be kept a secret this time around until release, but in exchange I'll let you all decide on a "Fun" little conversion. http://www.ominousintent.com/Releases/Preview/FunConve...

The code looks fine to me, I would set a breakpoint at the jumps and step through them just to be sure its doing what you intended(you have probably already did this) and after that if everything works fine in game after testing I would say its a success .

If the wiki is open to edit by anyone I would be happy to go through the functions and adding credits to the ones that I know the origin of during my downtime at work, I keep a copy of the keeps 1.10 functions and offsets on a flash drive to go through on my laptop during breaks(which have the respe...

Thanks!, I now have all the info I need for my current batch of tests/fun for the next day or so . Counting the animation conversions I'm working on this should keep me busy for a while.

I'm in need of a function that executes after the D2 window is Initialized, It doesn't haft to be a function that is unused or redundant(returns nothing/does nothing of value) since I could just Trampoline back to the original when my function is done executing. Right now as I'm just playing around ...

Wow, thanks for the link to the blog! I am enjoying reading "Tough times on the road to Starcraft" at the moment. My favorite part is when he describes the unit class inheritance chain (CUnit < CDoodad < CFlingy < CThingy) :lol: that would get confusing very quickly. Definitely a must read for anyon...
