synergi/Plugy???

[nespejsen]

hejsa. It seems to me that no synergies are shown in the skilltree, i wonder if there is any, or they just are hidden.
Why can't i use the awsome Plugy whit the mod, i can't live whituot it..

I just started playing the mod, and its not bad at all.

We balanced most of the skills thus that synergies would have imbalanced them once again without a huge effort on changing them. Adding single synergies here and there would just be an inconsistant thing that we don't really like.

One might argue that for example firebolt would be a more viable option to Fireball, if it supported Fireball via a synergy effect but the same would have to be done for Lightning, Ice Bolt, Poison Javelin, various Curses, Druid spells, Barbarian skills etc etc etc. - all in all too much work



Plugy should work fine and indeed does work fine on our machines. Where is your problem with getting it to run with MEmod?

thx for quick reply, and a good answer. I'm not home these days, but the error messege is "can't find vbr***.***" when i try using plugy4. I will write u the exact name as soon as i get home.

ah vbrun300.dll or something like that. That's part of Visual Basic. I guess Yohann used VB to program Plugy. The easiest fix would be to google for Visual Basic and download it but for a more precise solution you should ask Yohann, the creator of Plugy: ynicolas@worldonline.fr

You might want to check if this email is still valid

No i don't use Visual Basic but Visual C++.
So isn't the exatly the error message or it don't comes from PlugY...
Take PlugY 4.01 if you haven't have this version.

[nespejsen]

That's it.... I have no problems any more, after i downloaded plugy401. And yes it is the name of the file u wrote.

thx very much, i love u all in this site.

I also noticed that there are no synergies, I find this to be a feature that I want to use with this mod.

Where do I get the plugy401 file from so I can add the synergies back into the game? Is that plugy401 file the only thing I need to make it work?
Are there special instuctions to install plugy401 or is it just as simple as extract to C:\Program Files\DiabloII ???

[TheFallenAngel]

the synergies are deactivated for balancing reasons

and the plugy4.01 is an older version - u will find the uptodate version 4.04 right here on phrozenkeep, see yohanns post in this thread

My only concern is how not having synergies is gonna effect the playablity of my favorite char class, The Nec. Nec's put up with a huge amount of crap, too much IMHO! The 1.10 patch gave the Nec's their just dues. They were actually boosted to almost unbeatable in the PvP world and became a widely used solo PvM/MF'r. Before and mind the expression but Nec's were "Party-{filtered}". I got so sick of hearing, "Amp! Ammp! AAMMMPPP!"
I had to stand back, curse and watch everyone else get the kills/xp/loot.
Getting laughed at because you use the underdog char sucks, and no I don't want any cheese with this whine!

I found the link on the post thanks, didn't notice it before.
It is a cool plug in. I misundestood about the plug in anyhow it seems. I thought it added the synergies back into the game. Oh well.
