No clue, have you tried to host a lan game with out a mod installed? can't see why the mod would somehow alter that for you while its being run.

BTH has the same problem, no solution to it as yet, are you using vista by any chance? And could you pm your debug log and i'll have a look at the code

Re: Lan Problem
Hello there...
I have the same problem, I noticed that when I am running blackened using shourtcut I can play lan game, but my charakters dont hawe any stat points at the beggining, so I can not choose/create class and some skills missing(think it is same as it was before I used beta 4 fix).When I am running it trough blackened launcher, single player works perfectly, but with multiplayer there is problem posted above...
It is really good mod and thanks a lot for it, but I would like to play it trough lan...so if there are any suggestions plz help...
I am running windows Vista if it helps....

Re: Lan Problem
yeah same here when i tried it through the d2 shortcut it would run the lan game but it was broken like before the fix i am just gonna assume it has to do with us running vista and 64bit xp
Hopefully the next version will fix this, but its probably gonna be a while...

ahh then its definitly a DLL issue, and thats entirely in Necrolis' department. Most of the DLL's im using now (current version) arn't his though, just 1 of em is. If BTH has the same issue chances are we share a common DLL thats causing the issue. Hopefully with necrolis re-doing/combining everything for me it can get fixed via that.
As for why it works when you use your normal short cut, thats because your short cut isnt running the DLL files. which means the mod its self isnt fucntioning properly, your just getting the .txt changes. that means only 3 tabs, not 5, none of the feats, no proper skill/stat progression (as in none at all). I guess the other question I would have, and this maybe difficult for you two to do, but if it will not let YOU host, can you still connect to someone elses game? Makes me wonder if it just screws up your TCP all together or if its just a one sided ordeal. If im around (aka, on my comp) ill be in the IRC channel (past few days i haven't been around but that may change soon). We can test there if you two don't find someone else who can host (chances are normal XP (non-64) would work).

Re: Lan Problem
Thanks for reply and lot of luck with it...
I tried to connect hosted game and it did the same error, but the game was hosted using the desktop shortcut (friend have Vista too), so i will try to install it on some comp with xp and connect to normal version....
I`ll try to run it in Linux also after I`ll install it (waiting for new version of Kubuntu), mabye it will work normally because normal Diablo II worked me there perfectly.So I will post reply there if it works or not...
And please excuse my english (I am from Czech Republic)

Re: Lan Problem

I doubt it will run in linux, D2mod system, along with the short cut command lines seem to be Windows only. You can't run a txt based mod on a mac due to that. Not sure about linux though.

I'm not sure about linux either, but i can tell you that both my launcher and d2mod use some winAPI funcs, which means you'll need an emu

Re: Lan Problem
Well Adhin and I narrowed it down to something to do with the msvcrtd.dll when i removed that i could host a game and all the skill tabs worked
Last edited by Lionlol on Tue Apr 08, 2008 6:45 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Msvcrtd stands for microsoft visual c runtime debug, which means one or two of the dlls where compiled in debug mode(that dll shouldn't be needed anymore anyway, as all the dlls are compiled in release mode). The older version of the dll might have been overriding the vista version, which is why there where problems

D2 calls WinAPI-Funcs too, remember?
But D2 runs fine when using wine (www.winehq.com) so there should be no problem with Blackened either, as I guess the launcher (and D2Mod) are just using common WinAPI-Funcs which are already implemented (at least NefEx runs on wine fine...)

Linux is like a Wigwam - NO Windows, no Gates and Apache inside
D2 has special wrappers for the winAPI funcs to make it cross platfom compilable, and secondly isn't wine an emu? So then what i said still stands....

Re: Lan Problem
So if i run the game without that dll its not going effect any game gameplay other then giving me an error when i start the game up.Msvcrtd stands for microsoft visual c runtime debug, which means one or two of the dlls where compiled in debug mode(that dll shouldn't be needed anymore anyway, as all the dlls are compiled in release mode). The older version of the dll might have been overriding the vista version, which is why there where problems
That error means one of the dlls was using it, and now won't work, which will cause problems, i'll need to do some testing & see if i can make quick fix for now...

Re: Lan Problem
Alright that sounds good the game seems to play fine without it.
It just tells me the dll is missing on startup and that i need to reinstall to solve the problem

Necrolis its the blackened.dll - you never GOT me a version that didn't require that debug DLL file. You kept meaning to but ended up not getting one to me and then you got into the crazy big 'all in one'.
One thing i was thinking of (since its just the blackened.dll that requires it) is, did you do that 'host quicker' fix? where it pauses for 6 seconds or whatever anytime it does an action while your attempting to set up a host?
Either case i figure its the blackened.dll thats currently in the fix file thats causing the hosting issues.

There where a few builds that didn't need it(but the Damn build options kept reverting), i just hope the code for it ain't hosed. Also it might be the mod dll, but i'm on holiday so i can do some tests
