Mac Scenario/Theme mods

Post by novadragon » Fri Jun 20, 2008 5:06 pm

I was wondering if there were any scenario/theme mods working for macs besides Median. I downloaded Back to Hellfire and Blackened 4, both of which I was eager to try out but I was disappointed to find that they included plugins which weren't mac compatible. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Any mods that include any form of code editing doesn't work on mac.

Eastern Sun (think it doesn't have any ce), Zy-El (is for 1.09) should work on mac.

ES has code edits, but Contrail made them for Mac, too ;)

I tried ES, but for some reason it freezes on the loading screen after I create a new character. I also looked at zy-el but it includes .dlls which means they won't work on mac.

For ES i'd recommend you to ask at their forum for suppport (main index=>hosted site forums=>Eastern Sun). I know there are some palyers of ES on mac out, including Contrail...

Check that your using the correct versions for ES(1.10, as well as the mac build), the current version is also quite unstable. Zy-el has dlls but there is or was a mac built.

Zy-EL will work with Mac. Mac will not have all the features as a pc players has.

ES does work for mac. There are a few problems with the R6 series of patches. Please check the ES forum on some of the issues. (1.10b)

Nezeramontias will work with the 1.10b version.

V&K Mods (Middle Earth) has a mpq only version again it is for 1.10b

I tried Zy-el and tried to install it by renaming the patch file to "Diablo II Patch (Carbon)" but when I try to start Diablo 2 I get an error message saying that the patch is incompatible and is for use for classic Diablo 2.

P.S. I downloaded Zy-El 4.4
