I have to say I am 100% with JrEye on this. Kato was one of the most dedicated, helpful and hard working Mod-Makers this site has ever had. He is known for his long "cat and dog naps" so do not discount him coming back (no I don't think it likely either). Good for him for moving on. I just hope that is the case and nothing has happened to him. Ever think that might be a possibility Moonpaw?

regardless of if Kato has moved on or not, anything for the new updates should be put in a separate wiki dedicated to the updates, not to the original mod. No-one wants to see mixed-data for different versions of ZyEl in the same location. It is not hard to set up a new wiki... please do-so if you want to document the new updates in wiki-form.

Can someone explain some details for me? What's different? It's seems like a best part of these changes for me is a fixed caps. No more "God, my damage going to 0 cuz of cap/rollover". It was too hard to me, cause i am perfectionist. How much differences in other parts of mod? Any bugs? Sorry for that style of typing (english not my native lang).

*SNIP*
@Danetta, I know this is about 1 year late, but better late than never, right?

Just a quick update. I worked with Montex to figure out why people (including myself) couldn't get the github zyel to run. We got it all fixed up, so now you can just drop it into your d2se mods folder and give it a try.

Note to anyone interested in diablo 2 modding: .txt file must be in crlf format for line endings if you want diablo 2 to interpret them.

An idea came to my mind and i wanted to ask if its possible, so bear with me. This is just an "Is it do-able" kind of thing:
I wanna know if its possible to extract some of the unique set abilities, like the one from the death touch set, with its 10% chance to reanimate slain enemies, and slap it onto an item via transmutation?

it is possible.
any item + set item1 + set item2 + ... in input columns
useitem with mod1 set to whatever you want.
though i wont do it. i like the sets they are. You can mod that yourself if you think it will make you gaming more enjoyable

hmm, i might try it out just for fun. How would one go about finding out what "code" the set abilities have?

ok i tried it now, but didnt seem to work.
i added the line:
description enabled version
AddAura 1 100
item Hsarus' Iron Heel Hsarus' Iron Fist Hsarus' Iron Stay
as the input items
output = useitem
mod2: aura
mod param Thorns
30 / 30

this one works:

Code: Select all

test	1		0					4	weap	Hsarus' Iron Heel	Hsarus' Iron Fist	Hsarus' Iron Stay				useitem				aura		103	10	10																																																																															0
i tried replacing weap with armo and it didnt work most likely due to one of hsarus items being treated as input1 as those are armo as well.
EDIT: But armo,mag works

I highly recommend you install d2se.
Then, just open the zipped files from github and drop 'zyel-master' into the diablo II/MODS directory and you are ready to play.

Here's the Folder structure that I use for the d2se setup.

Got it to be detected in D2Se...but when i launch game in D2SE, it looks like vanila. I mean starting stuff are exact like vanila one.
I remember i had recipes on start and 0 gold....now i haven no gold but i have weapons, scroll of teleport and identify.

Start D2 with d2se i did...but nothing is changed. NO screen is changed....just plain old D2. Did i do correctly?

You might have hit "Start D2" instead of "start plugin"... make sure you start it by "start plugin" or double clicking zy-el unofficial.

Hello there, I'm not expecting much of attention, considering what year it is, but, anyway.
Me and a friend of mine had experienced a major issue once we started playing this version of Zy-EL in LAN.
You see, the game runs perfect while in single player, no problem. But it crashes all the time on the side of game-host if:
both players are the members of party;
both players are in the combat zone, in an exp. reach of each other;
the joined player kills a monster.
Yep, here's where the game ends up with c0000005 exception crit. error.
The stack trace of debuglog.txt leads to the KillExp.dll file:
18:29:49.924 ***** UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: ACCESS_VIOLATION (c0000005)
18:29:49.924 Fault address: 07ED156C 01:0000056C D:\Games\Diablo II LoD\MODS\Zy-El 4.5\KillExp.dll

0F6AFBA8: 0B6A9C05 24FC6A0F 92140000 00279A09 .j..$ьj......'..
etc.
Found nothing even similar across the net, nor even in docs regarding this particular game modifcation (Killexp).
Tried replacing Zy-El files with those belonging to standalone game version download (not d2se), tried deleting Zy-El inner Plugy and running game with stock d2se Plugy, reinstalling the whole mod and etc. Tried all the Video,-w,-ns,-direct data,-txt to bin settings. We tried different types of Lan/VPN connection, different characters names, I tried even backlooping the game on itself via opening the external copy of d2se, but the error is always the same.

Both mod downloads (standalone and d2se) were probed with ver.11 on the moment of downloading.
All the other Cores and Mods of this my D2SE installation run perfect.
Desktops are Win7 x64, and Win8 x64.
Any ideas?..

Cause, imo, without this basic multiplayer possibility the mod seems to be malfunctioning and unplayable thereby. :x :x :cry:

I don't know that I've heard much about playing Zy-El in multiplayer mode. I've only ever played in single-player. The error message you got there is showing the state of the registers when the fault occurred and the part of the dll it was executing code from. Assembly can be decoded if you work at it hard enough to figure out what's going on, but it's not just a simple "drag-and-drop" issue. Most likely fixing this would require hex editing the dll in question. But it would for sure require a much greater knowledge of what the game was trying to do at that point... someone like Nefarius could probably do it, but I know he is very busy. You might be best off playing single player side-by-side and bragging about the awesome stuff you found. =)

Good luck!

Hello, I had the same issue with my friend and our solution was easy, just delete KillExp.dll.
We had to first back up that file and then delete on both end, then there was no issue's found. I hope this helped.

Hi guys, I want to ask your oppenion about changing runewords that using gems. What a reason was to changing requirments for gems from std to perfect? How players can now use low-lwl runewords for 3,4,5 sockets? And Another question: what about github, is it dead? Or how simple man like I, or anybody else can give sources or improve current version of mod? Thanks for answer =)

Hello folks, i was playing the new version ( unoffical ) and must say funny mod. I like the part where you can min max till the moon. Or lets just say max till the moon :). Was wondering if anyone is still workin on the mod and just wondering if there is any intention of adding -res to the game, as for i was playin sorc and she just stops doing damage at some point. It dosent matter that you have over 1k + skills even on norm you dont do damage without lr if you want to play p8. Dunno about hell i'm failing miserably as it is ^^. Well anyway i suppose it looks kinda dead ( 2 year nothing happened ) and i guess thats okay too. But if not i'd vote for adding something like ele pierce to the game so you actually can play as a caster if you want to. Anyway nice work, its fun to play and just wanted to say thank you guys for your work !

greets
