*Note: also added a new boss (Soulmancer). He resides in his temple in the great void. To get there, you need to mix all 3 uncursed uniques and hell Samhain's charm in the cube and use the portal skill on the key you get (Cast at The Throne of the Dead)

*Note2: Soulmancer has extreme might so HC beware... let SC take a crack first to figure out if there's any ways to stand a decent chance (I would advise against attempting to solo since the boss's primary attack will decimate any lone target that can't teleport).

*Caster Testing Note: Any non sorc casters using the ele mastery oskill RWs or facets will need to get new gear to replace the legacy gear before passing passing any judgement about viability.

But will there be a reset after the beta is over or no reset what so ever?

Yes, there will be a reset when the final 1.3b patch comes out.

eh?

Likely a 2 week testing period followed by a reset, testing may go longer if there are issues.

I was looking at the changelog. Did the Warmth synergy to fireball get fixed?


Unless someone else changed it, the topaz armors will still be able to get +2. (Remember I used clean files when I adjusted runewords and crafts).

I remember specifically fixing this myself. It's just no one bothered to double check my correction in that 2nd test patch.

As for the warmth synergy to fireball thing... this is the first time I remember it being mentioned. It probably got overlooked just as the OP blizzard mercs nearly got overlooked.

sigh, I updated the buglist when Rage's changes were used as a base to try to help show what had been fixed and what hadn't...no huge deal though.

_________________

What's wrong with warmth/fireball(bolt?) ? Should it give any extra damage to something? In my game firebolt has Fireball/Meteor/Ench/Hydra synergies only.

hmm, i am more than likely retarded...i could have sworn that one of the synergies did not work as intended...ignore me for now at least

good job guys! the short testing period will be good to iron out the small things that might have made it between the cracks.

Good job to everyone involved.

Question, is it intentional that you can not buy gems, glyphs, and runes from vendors? Don't recall seeing it in change logs.

Edit. Forgot we had to dl another patch.

Will the resolution change be permanent? It is not playable for me at these huge resolutions. Is there a way to keep the 640x480 res option? Hope it is. But if not, thanks anyways. The mod was fun while it lasted

1) we need to fix the skill screens to show what the prereqs are.
2) alt+tab and cntrl+esc are not doing what they should...i assume this isn't really avoidable?
edit 3) chat area needs some loving
pretty awesome otherwise (from my 5 min of fiddling)!

How is it not playable? I don't understand.

At 640x480, it comfortably took up only 20% of my screen and had no lag. At the current high resolutions, it's longer than my screen vertically and uncomfortably takes up 80% of my screen in windowed mode and there's some noticeable lag. It's just too big a change for me and most of the people I play with. Can there maybe be an alternative patch that disables all the extra features? It's a fairly old game and I'm not using a gaming PC so the increase in resolution negatively affects my gameplay.

<3 new tundra.

I think it's possible to do a small update with old res files for guys who don't want it. They won't see what's happening offscreen as we do.

Running on the lower resolution won't work due to the AI increase?? What are you talking abt? Its going to have to be reverted back to the original.

_________________
"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing."

A friend noticed that warmth was not applying his reduced damage correctly? I personally did not double check and don't completely remember what the issue was.

It will work, just you'll be attacked from higher distance. It will make things harder for you but I bet it won't anything bad, at least that ai feature brings some difficulty to mod.

That's why I think it's possible to do a update with old files without d2res plugin as an optional download or merge it with mpq, just make .bat file to install one of these correctly.

Yeah.. that's a pretty crappy expenditure.. at what cost? So a few people can play in higher resolution?

If most people can play on this resolution w/o problem then I'm completely for it. I'll just buy a new video card.. but my specs are pretty good.. so I know a lot of people are going to have issues with this.

I'm down to hear more opinions on this.. if most people are cool with running it then I'll give my 100% support.

But I'm sticking with my assumption that a big portion won't be able to run it.

_________________
"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing."

Why, game will be harder. AI should be changed before imo, without higheres. It's hell unleashed after all.

Makes no sense Steel. So game is easier for people who can play on higher resolution but harder for people who can't? So let's give an advantage for people with better comps and disadvantage to those with shittier ones and justify it by saying "It's Hell Unleashed."

?!?! Wtf

.... that makes no sense. If most people can't play on this we'll have to revert back.

_________________

Ok. Mind this it wasn't my idea of highres - Soulmancer was one of guys who wanted this - so I'm not defending it or anything. You isn't whole community and you're running on rig that was meant to browse internet and play farmvile on fbook. D2 highres won't require much more power than regular d2 unless you want to run in on your calculator. And it won't give any big advantages for guys with higheres. You can still use multishot amazons on 640x480 and clear full 2 screen from you, same with teeth, just monsters won't attack you, with changed AI they will... but majority of them are melee that must get near to you anywa.

You want easier mod, pm Blue.

I have no problem with you stating it wasn't your idea. The problem I have is with your attitude. Your take on this matter/issue is very selfish and childish. I'm thinking about the whole community and your thinking about yourself.

I stated.. if most people can play with it I'm fine but if a large portion can't then something has to be done aka reverting.

Instead of being a reasonable person and agreeing with me you keep defending/arguing keeping the resolution as it is. You don't sound very intelligent or someone who should be respected.

I've already stated I'D BE FINE playing with this resolution via purchasing a new video card. I'm simply LOOKING out for the people who won't be able to play on this resolution.

As I said before.. handicapping the game for those with bad computers is not a solution. I've already heard the increased AI is huge on the new resolution. It won't be playable for lower resolutions with the current AI setup. PERIOD.

Change your attitude man.. stop thinking about yourself and those who have good enough CPUs to run this and start thinking about the entire community.

Ok, you're voice of community.
You're completely ignorant when it comes for PC stuff, aren't you? It won't require "good" machine, good maybe back in 2003-4 but now any low end taken from a dumpster on your street can run it. It's 2011 already and we all have 1gb+ of ram while game was written having in mind 256ddr(simm and dimm) at most.
I know many guys played d2 before and had 30fps at most, now they have 10 or less, but all I've heard is "we have onboard graphic cards, we're not games". You won't be playing d3 for that matter. Should you write on their forum they must keep 640x480 so you buy it?

So, AI itself terrifies you? Give it a try, revert to 1.3a and run few tests, you don't need these files to see server changes.

I'm just going to go out on a limb here, if you use the Character Stats mod, and you lay the beta overtop, it combines both the stats and inventory on your left side of the screen, and if you press I. It instant explodes the game. Since its a low res mod getting overrode by a high res new mod, the obvious solution is a clean install. I did so and everything looks wonderful.

Only thing to note is black edges of the screen where it doesn't seem to want to show you stuff, but only sometimes?

Now, I, myself, don't have a problem with any increased AI because I'm playing SC. But that right there isn't a fitting analogy. A better example would be if D3 was released at 640x480 res and then Blizz, out of the blue, patched it to only have higher res options, which would increase the minimum requirements.

I just play HU because it's a nice change from vanilla and it's an old game that I'm familiar with and can run on my laptop. But if the high res stays I wouldn't have any choice but to stop playing D2 altogether or go back to vanilla. I'm not gonna whine about it because I didn't write the mod. I'm just wondering if a low res option would be added back on. If not, I'll be on my way.

First of all, talking about two char builds that can kill off screen is a complete invalid argument. I'm not interested to hear a handful of builds who can kill offscreen.. that doesn't change or mean anything. Not every CHAR build has capabilities of offscreen killing actually most don't.

I never said I was the whole voice of the community. I just know there will be a portion who can't run on the higher resolution. How many?? I don't know but if the number is small.. I've already stated I'd upgrade.

The game was indeed written for much crappier computers but HU is far more detailed, graphic extensive than original D2 was/is. You can't argue against that. Those higher graphics/details result in a higher CPU req/demand. There are certain areas in the game that cause LAG even on good computers. Running in bigger parties has always caused FPS lag even FuryCury can vouch here. We had too many summoners in Tundra and he left the game because of lag. I recall him having a pretty bad ass comp but no matter how good your comp you'll still lag in a fullscreen on tundra with summons etc.


Why the fuck did PureRage make an edit removing things like catapult lag etc. ?? Ask yourself that genius. If people ALL had amazing comps there'd be no reason to release such an edit.. don't you agree?

That's because LoD missiles are resource hungry, things like hurricane, molten, all fire patches are drying available memory in no time.

I won't argue with you, I can play games like gta4 on high, veryhigh with 30+fps but sometimes have 20 fps in d2. It's because d2 is fucked up, not high requirements. You are just making your assumption based on an old game, that every res increase requires extra horse power under hood (which is true but on newest game, not on old when it's better to generate all shit on screen in 0.001 sec)

The fact of the matter here is higher resolution will result in less fps. I don't care how you want to break it down with graphics and resources. You can do a benchmark test if it makes you feel better but I'm keeping it simple here.

Just did a summoner run while running a Summoning Necro, as well as having a Summoning druid join in. about 16 summons from me, 8 from Druid.



I'm using a computer running a Radeon x1950 Pro I can see some going from 40$-79 either from Ebay, to Newegg, or even Amazon.

I am running an extensive amount of ram for Windows 7 64bit. 8.00 gb

Ram is cheap nowadays, you can buy 2gig sticks for 12.99 a pop off newegg with free shipping. you don't even need 8gigs since you'd have to run a 64 bit operating system to utilize it. for 26$ you could have 4gigs which is what 32bit systems use. for 66 dollars you could cover both if you literally do not have a video card worth mentioning and literally no memory in your system, requiring you to buy 2 entirely new sticks of memory (which seems doubtful) worse comes to worse spend 13$ if your video card isn't so bad, and get 2 more gigs of memory.

I cant download either of the files, it says that dropbox have temporarily disabled that account for having too much traffic. Would be nice to be able to download this so could someone else put it up aswell?

I am having the same issues. I'm an old player who is trying to come back and bring a couple friends along with me, and we're fiending for the new version. Any other downloads available would be greatly appreciated.

I can mirror a small update for you guys till Duff/Baerk log in. Rapidshare or stuff?

Whatevers clever coach.

I'm Uploading them to Megaupload and FileFactory currently. Should be done in about 20-30. Ill post links when they are able to be downloaded.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AMJIHIXR
It's a small update only. If you don't have HU at all you must download 1.3a then apply that. IF you have HU, just unpack it somewhere and copy/overwrite every file to your d2 folder. Don't forget to run game with -direct -txt extension added to shortcut or just by hell unleashed.bat

Man you guys were fast, thanks a ton for the help. Hope to see you guys on soon!

thanks a lot man, appreciate it

Given all the monster changes that will probably be necessary AI wise for the ranged AIs there's actually little doubt in my mind there's probably going to be need for further tweaks.

Why is it that the two times that i have used Rage's-based dll files that I get the Cain crash when talking to him. It's not a coincidence that these are the only two times this has happened to me in 10+years.

I am not really a fan of all the text changes when looking at the drops...purple rejuv lettering is distracting to me, 101gp, mp, hp. I would like to have to normal texts for these as an option.

Not whining, it's small price to pay as long as a clean install fixes the first issue...will do that at some point today or tomorrow.

There will be reset in 2 week, right?

diablo 2 stops working randomly. i didnt have this issue till i dled the new patch. most times it stops after just a min or two, sometimes i can play for an hour.

i had major issues with fps when i used the data dl which made it unplayable because everytime i got into a group of enemies my fps would drop to 1 or 2. dled mpq now and it works great with fps running steady at 85.

world stone kind of sucks with new res cause of light radius. i was fighting enemies i couldnt see. merc runs out of prayer radius.

third level on the way to baal, the background was a small picture in the top left corner instead of full screen and monster ai seemed to be old ai. i could see them but they didnt attack me unless i attacked them.

would it be possible to add life regen and mana regen into the stat display?

edit: by third level on the way to baal i meant after the wp, cleft of dimention. here is a screenshot.
also my game doesnt minimize anymore.

Im curious as to why after the install, It will not run on full screen mode.. i went as far as to download the glide wrappers... and it finally started to load... but it only loads in a 640/480 resolution.. so i can see the top left quarter of the game i guess??

Lifes what you make it, so make it how you want to live it, if your life isnt what you wanted, then maybe you should change it.

what os are u using? maybe set compatability mode on the shortcut?

Does it crash on Druid/Assassin? These two still have wrong values in inventory.txt (gridRight column)

http://www.mediafire.com/?25tk8ir585hrb9f use this version of wrapper. Also make sure you run with -direct -txt and have all files in d2 folder(installer makes new folder with files)

Pretty sure a lot of people are just not installing correctly. I have had 0 issues so far

i crash on fireclaw druid, frenzy barb, and healer pally.

i have hu on several pcs now and they all seemed to work properly till the patch. not sure why. could be that i dont have a clean d2. it had moded files in it from the past and my game disc doesnt work anymore so i cannt reinstall.

Delete previous data folder, unpack new. You should only get errors on druid... but only on full screen mode.

ok ill give that a try and let u know what happens.

tried to download but the link is shut down for having to much traffic

_________________
Its always in the last place you look....

On page 4-5 there should be some megaupload links of the same files.

One note the extractor.exe puts files into a sub directory automaticly, where they should not be.

What my issue was. Extract those right and delete data folder and everything should work fine. If anyone has any D2SE related errors I've managed to fix mine just PM me with what is going on and I'll help out.

_________________

Is the removal of the lower res options a permanent change?

I think it can be configured within D2expres.ini we could use 1024x768 and 800x600 likely... Donno if it would work though do to the inventory/stat changes... a lot of issues people are having with it is do to an incorrect install. Such as an old data folder or the mod being extracted into a sub directory

i downloaded the file again and unpacked it again and reinstalled it and doesn't seem to close the game on me anymore.
works awsome and i love the new resolution. i been wishing blizz would have done that with vanilla long ago.
any thoughts on tps? maybe add in tps again that only work for the person who made it? that would make mfing so much more enjoyable. also that would make it so people cannt exploit the tps for rushing or item grabbing at bosses.

Well, I did a clean install. Pretty sure I did nothing wrong. But there's a significant lag difference from before and it's not playable for me this way and at these sizes. 1024x768 is simply too high a resolution for my screen. I'm just curious if the 640x480 option will be added back on. If not, that's fine. I'm just looking for a definitive answer so I can move on.

what is ur pc specs? (processor speed and cores, ram, video memory) what operating system are u running? (windows vista and 7 require compatability modes that solve fps issues)

Apparently some are having a hard time finding my download links, if someone who has the power to, edit the main page and add said links onto it, so people will find it easier?

I'm using a laptop with integrated video and 1.6ghz ULV Core 2 Duo processor. 4gb Ram. Windows 7.

I know it's not a gaming PC. But I'm not a gamer. This is the only game I play. I play it because I'm familiar with it and it didn't take up much resources. I only play old games on this computer and I enjoyed being able to play it in a small window while I watch a movie on the side or do something else.

I don't mean to sound rude but I'm not looking for any kind of "fix" on my end. I play this because the 640x480 option is available. If it's permanently removed, I'll move on. I don't mind the AI changes and don't care if I'll be playing at any kind of disadvantage that way. I just want the window to stay the same size as before. So....I'm just looking for a yes or no on whether the 640x480 option is coming back. That's all I'm really asking.

Just installed it, games running and changes look fine. But having problems with lag when I go fight. My laptop isn't new, but little surprising it can't handle this change.

PC specs: Pentium M 1.86 gHz, 2048 mb ram, geforce go 6800 256 mb, windows XP

@up Try using glidewrapper - http://www.mediafire.com/?25tk8ir585hrb9f extract it to d2 folder, run d2vidtest, select 3rd option, run glide-init.exe, configure as you like and check how it works, hope it runs smoother.

What's the max resolution of your screen by any chance Tough?

1366x768

It's a 13.3 inch screen. With the new patch, the D2 window now extends under my taskbar.

game just crashed again.

edit: it crashes on my pally healer

I don't have the issues with druid crashing. I picked up up most everything within onperson inventory.

_________________
The reader should not be discouraged if...he does not have the prerequisites to read the prerequisites. P. Halmos

I appreciate the quick reply. I didn't have it on that 3rd option. Made all the difference. Thank you!

For the final patch I think likely will either have the high-res a stand-alone add on plugin or have 1024x768 and 800x600 the video settings under options... Those running in lower res will just have to deal with higher monster aggro range.

So, I'm assuming the 640x480 option is never coming back? If I could get a clear yes or no answer to this question, I'd really appreciate it so I can move on.

If the high res becomes a stand-alone plugin or D2SE is adjusted accordingly then you would likely still have 640x480... You're comp must really blow!

Thanks. Yes, this laptop blows. But it's more of an office comp. I don't really play any other games unless you count solitaire and minesweeper.

using D2SE:



anyone with the same issue?
i am able to run the new patch properly using the batch file (not D2SE), but when i simply copy the whole content from the "normal" HU folder to my D2SE HU mod folder, its messed up.

you need to activate -txt with D2SE

ok i needed to deactivate it, thx ki4m

Links updated.

Since the patch I keep getting random crashes. As in the game just closes with no warning. Act doesn't matter, and happens both in town or attacking. Ideas? Used the full update not data folder.

Edit: Playing druid when stops. Will try other char and see.

Currently the offset values for the druid and asn inventories are slightly off and its causing random crashes in full screen mode.

On another note, after a few hours of playing 1024, my eyes hurt lol!

@Soulmancer - Maybe a 1024 x 768 / 800x600 may alleviate some problems for those people.

I personally prefer 800x600 in terms of game play! But thats just me. Its a hard adjustment playing 600 then to 1024!

My client keeps crashing when i hover my mouse 1 (imaginary?) row below the bottem line of the inventory, except for the 4 most left colums. This is happening with an ama, sorc, pala, barb, assa and druid. Made a necro to test with, client also crashes on him but it seems to be affecting less colums. This is in windows mode (1024x768), for all chars.

As far as I can tell, I am using the latest versions of the different patches (HU_HighRes2.1.exe & HU1.3b_Beta1_full.exe).

Also, what do I need to edit to remove screen shaking?

delete your data folder and then install the update again and your inventory problem should be fine

EDIT: would it be possible to fix the thorns not causing bosses to open portals problem? if not could you guys remove thorn on items that dont really need it?

22:blessed aim grants 1% passive lifesteal per level works, except when active life steal goes away. Intended?

35:fixed moncurse versions of amp + lower resist seems ok, showed -56% on char screen.

42:Cold sorb on salvation currently showing 1% sorb, not 10% as was discussed. Question, why only cold sorb adjustment?

71: High Res plug in applied with various monster AI changes applied to adjust to new screen radius is working but a few areas of concern. Monsters spawning extra fast + fanata enchanted are seriously fast. The frog and temple guards in act3 get 2 packs together and WOW. Jury is still out on whether I like it

1 deleted my data folder
2 extracted HU_HighRes2.1.exe (overwriting all files)
3 started client
4 made client crash as described above

5 moved LOCAL into data (i think it's in the wrong location in the update?)
6 started client
7 made client crash

which makes me wonder if HU_HighRes2.1.exe is the latest version?

@down thx, i see that the links in 1st post have been changed..

35 - you are talking about amp from "cursed" bosses
42 - it goes 1% cold abs to salvation per 1 point in res cold aura, just like all other 2 res auras, res cold aura gives 10% cold abs itself.

@Up, use links from 1st post only... for now. Small or full download, not HUhighres, that package had outdated txt files.

Did hell baal run and... first bug (my mistake) agony and suffering are moving...

Hmm, it would be a good idea to make game harder

lol! i bet thats interesting to see

From cursed unique mobs but it's close enough to be ok.

Guess I misunderstood, thought is was 10% cold sorb flat. My bad

Hey, i noticed on my Frost Nova Sorc either the graphics or the stat placement for Lightning Mastery and Cold Mastery are mixed up. Confirmed in single player as well. Lightning is currently displaying COLD mastery and vice versa

Ok so the mix up is actually that simple... good. On an other note I have successfully found a way to make D2SE mode switch between normal res and high res. It should be in the next patch.

this is for sure.

i noticed that when i was in my inventory it will knocked me out to the regular screen when someone tried to trade with me. happened on several occasions. when i picked up an item i would have dropped it on the ground if i hadn't seen it before i clicked.

Seems that Damaged reduced and Magic damaged reduced are bass ackwards
The display in the stat screen that it

Hi guys!

I would like to ask a - maybe stupid - question... I read this forum since a few weeks, but I haven't found an answer to my question, so if I write to a wrong topic or anything else, sorry about that...

I play with the solo edition of this awesome mod, because I haven't got any time and friends and etc. to play with the multi. I'm waiting for the 1.3 solo, 1.3a, or 1.3b, doesn't matter, and I haven't found any posts to know, what about the solo ver.

There will be solo version newer than 1.21z, and if will, then around when?
Thanks for your answer, and sorry if I posted to the wrong topic.

And thanks for your work

If guys are interested with new synergies/gear we have on multi player edition, I can update monstats (hp, res, skill lvls) of monsters etc. for singleplayer purpose, but no sooner than end of week.
Or just update 1.21z, few skill fixes without gear changes.

To be honest we play the solo with my 2-3 friends, but not together, non of us have enough time for longer party games and tcp/ip. We like the whole item graphics, a few changed item stats (nai circlet for example), and the fixes in the notes for the 1.3 multi, and we will be happy for a solo edition, that contains all the new items, graphics, fixes, etc...
I don't know how it works, but if it's not hard work, just balancing the mob stats, apply the rejuv pots, tp scrolls spawn, etc, and the multi edition changes to solo like this way, then I think it would be better, to make the 1.3 multi to solo, rather than write some fixes in the 1.21z.

Oh, and by the way: if my english is *** bad... well, sorry about that, I'm from Hungary, and haven't spoken since 7-8 years

Hmm, while logging in the chars and game the "please wait" popup always come up down to the right in the screen.

And while i am in the chatscreen the backround is all black and looks buggy, is this how it is supposed to be atm or?

anyone?

i think we need fix damage Dragon tail because it have fire damage and physic damage but cannot kill enemy have fire resis or physic resis |||| when kill boss , boss dont take fire damage => dragon tail = dragon talon 1 kick ...

must i dl both files?

the data folder will convert a 1.3a installation to 1.3b if you now how to properly handle data folders. If you don't have an HU install however the full patch functions as a D2SE plug in and with a little file moving can turn a normal d2 install into HU 1.3b.

trying to play with my friend, got him to install the latest patch fresh, whenever he comes into the game this is what he sees



and whenever he tries to open his inventory the game crashes. help?

Judging from that jumbled mass I see... I strongly suspect either the d2mod.ini has the wrong set up or the d2modsetup wasn't ran to install the mod properly. The screenshot shows your friend is clearly accessing the new high res Dc6 pictures but the high res plug in is not operational for some forsaken reason.

I have the EXACT same problem. I'm pretty sure I installed the mod correctly (also ran D2modsetup.bat). At the video options screens clicking on the video resolution toggles the text from both the high res options, but it changes the game from 800x600/640x480.

Zyin. Would you mind posting the contents of your D2mod.ini file. In particular I want the lines that list a bunch of dll file names.

So i did a legitimate baal run last night. I love that agony and suffering move. Definitely makes for a much harder challenge. Any way you can keep it like that? Except maybe keep them from moving to the entrance? Cuz i can see an abusive pk opportunity there...

They are stand alone super unique monsters. There's no way to limit their movement range short of an unwalkable chasm/wall between the entrance and the rest of the map that's bridged by a couple of teleport pads.

They can either creep around with the same walkability limits as players or have no travel ability at all.

two things i have found

The Act 2 quest icon that shows which tomb is correct is in the wrong spot


Tal Rasha's stats in skill descripton text file are wrong I think. Cold mastery should be 140 (125 from skill and 15 from Tal's belt bonus) and Light mastery should be 235 (220 from skill, 15 from Tal's belt bonus). Others' pics have been correct...


Edit: clarity

It's known that the extended stat screen that Ki4m worked on actually had a couple pairs of stats swapped around. MDR and DR are switched as well as cold/lightning mastery. Thanks for spotting the displaced symbol though.

Forgot to add about inventory.txt, gridbottom has also wrong values, should be 563.

Not sure why it occurs exactly, however left clicking on potions seems to cause random hard crashes. Sometimes opening up the inventory will do it as well. The % chance seems to be completely random and occurs about 1% of the time I do either of these actions. It does not occur when you pick up potions however when you attempt to move them or shift click them into your belt it can occur.

Anyone know why skill tab looks like that??

I've been quite aware of the skill tab thing graphics thing myself. Nothing that some Dc6 work to the proper files can't handle though. Just it wasn't really worked on as the bnet chat screen was.

its not Dc6 related but skilldesc.txt related. With the higher res you have an extra 3 columns of space on the skill tree and an extra 6 rows. All the icons just need shuffled around and the arrows added back in at some point. That can be done with a clientside edit.

_________________

So even the prereq arrows are skilldesc.txt related? I was more under the impression they were dc6 controlled.

so much more screen space = possibility for more space in horadric cube?

that way when i need to craft I can have way more items then needed in there...lol

Another serious note ran nm tundra today on Bone Nec...very choppy in general. Running in window mode makes me wonder if it will always be that bad. We will see.

Yeh sorry the arrows are image related, the tree layout (crammed into a corner atm) isn't.

Question... Anyway the new screen res can be an option ?
Suggestion would be the high res would have all the new screen content. The old screen res use's the old screen content.. Reason is I find the high res very choppy the lag is intence at times..Before anyone says get a new comp lmao buy me one...all great mmo's have res options so the player can play the game smoothly.. As it is now there will be many that won't be able to play the mod like this and plus new comers that want to play won't be able to play the game do to there comp can't handle the high res..
Remember that not everyone in the world can go out and buy new comps or even high end ones do to the economy sucks balls people need to pay there bills first....

It's going to be an option starting next patch. Pappy brought the concern up with his two cents thread as well and I already found a way to make it manageable on D2SE for mode switching.

What about those who don't use d2se. I know quite a few who don't.

ok so got another friend to install, he did everything by the book and now he is getting this http://i.imgur.com/TIVHC.jpg

Interesting Desktop... I wonder who the character is. That aside... Try full screen mode and windowed mode (windowed mode activated with -w on the shortcut target). Also Try running D2 Video test to see what video modes are available. Since your friend downloaded the full patch he also happened to get the glide mode with the patch (which gives one more video mode to try out to see if it works well).

The 4th and 7th posts of this thread (both posts by me) gives info on how to use the glide-init.exe to tweak the glide for max performance. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4466

Without D2SE it will be simply using the other setup (another patch) with the low res fix.

Ok, the hard crash via inventory bug which i believed had something to do with using or moving potions actually involves trailing the cursor down certain spaces of the inventory into dead space.

going from the bottom from the right side, count 5 inventory spaces in, if you trail your mouse down from that space it will cause the hard crash. also some of the space from the 6th space as well. This happens repeatedly from my assassin. after testing on other characters as well, my druid as well as my pally did not have this issue, after switching back to my assassin it failed to crash like usual. Very confused now that I replicated the crash 6 times consecutively and now it will not happen.

OK seems i'm gettin a crash when placing cursor over very bottom slot on 5th row from let of char inv. But only when there is another screen up on the left such as Stash, Vendor, Char or whatever. Confirmed on single player and on many different chars as well. Placed cursor in that slot then move it down to force crash. Hopefully its just me

I really should of double checked all the inventory.txt offsets of the high res work but I only fixed 5 professions (not druid/asn) on the lower resolution before pushing out the patch.

try this fixed inventory.txt:
http://www30.zippyshare.com/v/1704084/file.html
put the file into:
"your HU folder"\data\global\excel


(moved some equipped items a little, and fixed placing items out of inventory)
hope its bug free now...

Just Double Checked all the offsets... All 14 sets look good. People running the patch with that txt file in their data folder should be good and not have any random inventory crashes.

maaan! thats the solution for my problem

about the soulshards:
is their size going to be fixed with next patch?
if not I can contribute you with new skins, cause atm they look a bit weird

edit:
maybe this skins:
