Missile range/speed

Missile range/speed

Well I am looking for the missiles in diablo 2 range/speed in tile units or yards, and I think I found missiles.txt in patch_d2.mpq, but I'm not sure how to get the information out of it. Any help is appreciated.

Is there an easy way to convert .txt into a spreadsheet?

If you want, we or someone with you can do a test using a stopwatch. Person 1 shoots a horizontal arrow, person 2 standing right below them clocks when the arrow first appears and when it disappears. Match time to lenth of half the screen.


It's easier using a Video-output into a physic's object movement analysis porgram though, but I don't have one with me.

Well I found the information in missiles.txt, but im not sure what units it is in, frames, tu/sec, yards/sec or what.

Missile              Row   Vel   MaxVel   Range

firebolt             60    20    20       50
icebolt              61    12    12       50

Are there different stats for normal arrows and guided or are both the same?

Here's some more:

Blessed Hammer has an acceleration of 250, and Nova has an acceleration of -1000. So I guess BH speeds up and Nova tremendously slows down?

If this is in yards/sec and yards then you would need > 12 yards/sec run speed to outrun a bone spirit for 128 yards.

For guided arrow > 24 yards/sec (possible?) for 128 yards.

I guess the range of lightning sentry depends on the resolution of the trapsin.

Someone did a test on another forum (AB) and found:

ypf = Vel/32 so, yps = Vel*25/32

Range - time of missile existance in frames

s = f/25
v = d/t so, y = s * y/s

for Guided arrow:

(Vel) yps = 24*25 / 32 = 18.75
(Range) y = 128/25 * 18.75 = 96
