Belize's Revenge Mod

[DDDiablo]

Ok.......

So you guys look at the 8 percent status on my sign and you freak out(well, almost). You think......
It's been almost a month and he only did 8 percent?

Then when is he going to do 100%?

In two years?
No............
The first patch is comming out at 40%. That's right, 40.
The first 40 will be broken up like
10% monsters
10% skills
10% renaming
10% items

Then, it'll be converting and all that jazz. That'll be later on. Oh yes... Ever since Jbouley uploaded his clue scroll tutorial, I've been making. It's comming along fine. All of Act 5 and act2's NPCs had been renamed. It's hard work renaming everything.

I've also added a see how many people visited my site thing on the bottom of the page. So......... Go visit!

Also, this will probably be my last day here for at least a week. No, not taking a break. Just a tight shedule.

See ya with lots of updates next week!

But maybe I can sneak some time back here. You never know!

Edit: Hey, it's on the second page! Finally.

[Alkalund]

It's been almost a month and he only did 8 percent?

With the changes you have planned, I would say 8 percent is quite a lot

[DDDiablo]

Ah, grabbed some time out of thin air.

An update. The normal items page is finish though not uploaded. I'll have to add more stuff before that happens.

The last time I zipped all the files I collecte and created, it was about 9.5 MB. Hum...... What that means is that I can't possibly upload it. That's because mysitespace.com is 1 MB uploaded per month policy. Which means that I'll have to upgrade or go to planetdiablo. WHich is possible.

9.5MB is made up of graphics. Hehe, monster conversions, aka plugins from other people. Thank you all.

Oh, I'm trying very hard to balance the skills and hirelings right now. Of course it's not possible to be perfectly balanced. I'll be needing feedback. A bit of update. The Hirelings have been done for now as witht the Credits, unless someone new helps. Also, with the NPC renaming, I've been going around the string files.
What I mean is that whenever I need to change the strings, I just fool around in the files. Then, there'll be progress. A bit, but it'll go up.

THe good thing is that no areas need to be changed except for Act1 which is changed to the Amazon Basin. Hehe.

Visit the site, and don't forget my question about materies and skils.

[DDDiablo]

UPdate. The normals page is up and now that I can test D2 on the comp I'm working on, it'll go a lot faster. Of course, now that the holidays are over, I won't be online as often. But, I'll still be working on it.

The mod is going on fine. I renamed all of act1 and the NPCs. Now it's finishing the hirelings, and skills. Then, I'll have to go back into the items and NPC speeches. Wool! I'll be fine.

NO worries.

[DDDiablo]

Update:

I got some screenshots, except mysitespace is expired. THat would be my website host. Which means no site. Hum....... I'll look for another one.

[Alkalund]

That's bad. Hope you can find another place to put the site, the only two that come to mind now are geocities and tripod, but there's surely a lot more options out there.

[DDDiablo]

I've changed the site to a framed base one. I think that's better. Anyway, go to do more testing.

I'm searching for a web server right now. Just so you all know. I'm not dead yet.

Edit: Site is up at Geocities. However, uploading screenshots si so slow.............. You'll have to wait maybe even to next week to get all the graphics files.

[DDDiablo]

Luckily, all the screenshots are up. There are more screenshots on the way. I got more but I haven't put up the web pages yet. The ds1 editor is soo........... cool!

[DDDiablo]

Update at the site. At the time of this writing, not all files are downloaded. However, the main page is downloaded though. Take the link in my signiture to my site and visit the first page for the updates. Mostly screenshots.

[Alkalund]

Nice screenies (saw 2 so far), I see you used the Ringwraith plugin from sub-atomic, that's cool 8).

The item screenshots are not working apparently.

Oh, and a little suggestion: use a image viewer program like ACDSee to compress the jpeg files, you will end up with files 5 times smaller and still good quality. Otherwise 500+KB screenies might be a little too much for the dialup users

[DDDiablo]

I'm a dial up user myself. And the uploading is still going on as of this time! There should be more screenies up though.

I'll look into adcsee of course and that'll be a big help.

Thank you.

I'm burning with Envy. Every single one of your responses to me was efficient and useful.

[Alkalund]

I'm glad I could be of some help DDDiablo, honestly

I'll have a look at the remaining screenies later.

[Brother Laz]

'Nature's Closet's Friend'

You might want to fix that minor spelling mistake.

[FirEFroG]

looks good, i like that DDDiablo's trip to hell set!

[DDDiablo]

'Nature's Closet's Friend'

You might want to fix that minor spelling mistake.

!!!!!!!

Of course. But unfortunately, you won't be able to see the change too soon. It'll be in the TBL files which I don't have a screenshot of. But updates at the site. Check it out.

Yes, Subatomic's and others' plug-ins were used. Very useful. There will be more stuff soon.

Oh yes, all the screenshots were shrinked. Acd were very useful.

Thank you everyone for your replies. And FireEFrog just earned himself(or herself) a place in the credits.

Edit:
In case you didn't notice, which you probably didnt, my sitespace didn't close down after all! It went down for a few days but now it's back up! Yip! Whoa! Does this mean that I am transfering back? Not nesccary. I now have 2 different accounts and that'll give me more space. The first version will be uploaded on mysitespace and the site will be on geocities. Then, it's all over to PlanetDiablo.........

[DDDiablo]

AH! Forget the edit on my post before. I can't do that becasue of the dumb 1mb uploaded per month rule on mysitespace. Hum..........

Anyway, update at the site. Anyone who thinks that they might have helped me should visit because I added a credits page. So, email me if you think that you've been lefted out before the release of the mod.

[DDDiablo]

I got a new page up. THe skills page.

Since I figured out(generally)how to make skills, I'll be making some. So, here's the plan. THis is a direct copy+paste out of my site but I don't think that It'll look so good without a table.

So, visit the site. But here it is anyway:

Skill Plans


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

This is the skill plan for my mod. I think that what I have so far is really nice. Of course, I invite suggestions. Note: THERE ARE NO SKILL TIMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, the skill page is much easier to read than your post, the forum usually screws up text format... you might try using the code tag (that's [ code] blah blah [/ code]), sometimes it helps.

Some minor comments on your Credits list:

- You left out the "_" in Sir_General, if he finds out he will beat you with a rubber chicken

- jbouley's mod is called Sanctuary in Chaos, not Chaos in Sanctuary

[DDDiablo]

Yeah. Sorry Sir_General. I found that today. Sorry Jbouley. Hard to do from memory. Thanks Alkalund.

Anyway, update. Just go and read the news.

Also, shot up to 30% today! I took the whole day and worked on this mod. Oh yes, the max is 50% since I didn't plan on the maps to be added. Hum.......... Well it is.

So, all the better.

[DDDiablo]

Tranquivil plugin from Deathfile is pretty buggy. Doesn't work. However, I see special tiles everywhere they shouldn't be. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

That means there's no easy way to edit it. I'll have to make new ones map. Grrrrrrrr.......... I also forgot to change the cow! Can't believe myself. This shouldn't slow down things though. I got everything under control.

[DDDiablo]

Tranquivil is fixed. Graveyard is done.

Now for the dumb cow.

[DDDiablo]

I got a lot of things done yesterday. But I'll have to update them all later. My computer's way to slow right now. Just to let you all know that I'm not dead. Watch for a edit or a new post when I tell you that the main page is updated. That means that the site is updated.

[DDDiablo]

Site updated. The main page looks so much cooler.

If someone in the credits doesn't have descriptive text with the name it means that I have forgottened where he/she helped. Doesn't mean that he/she helped less.

Looking good

I'm wondering, should I make the stuff from my mod plug-ins? That'll fill up the downloads page for sure but.

Plugins are always welcome DDDiablo, whatever you can come up with in terms of plugins is greatly appreciated.

Now I think that everything should be in a blue table. The characters, monsters, everything. What do you think?

Sounds good to me
