The "BEST" place to mine runes, I'm 99% sure ifr

Re: The "BEST" place to mine runes, I'm 99% sure

if its singleplayer nobody really cares. I mean there's lots of programs around that can alter singleplayer modus. I once tried it too, but being able to just say "hey, I feel like using a nice tyreals with [rune] in it" doesnt really compare to Bnet. Things just get too easy, too boring. I'll take doing a lot of bad runs than doing a single player game with the very best gear already on me.

WTF 1hp for Council? You play single player with some sort of hack or something?

Kind of. I have a second shortcut which has a modified monstats.txt to set their life to 1. I only use it offline to speed up sp runs.

I am also working on (almost finished) another offline mod. It will add socketed Belts, Boots, and Gloves, along with some sample runewords and sockets to random sets/uniques. After all, I believe Blizzard should have just added something like this (still beta) in the first place, instead of putting it off for Diablo 3.

actually it would be fun if you could do stuff like that and play on Open Bnet with such additions. If I recall it's possible, but the problem is that it then becomes like online Unreal Tournament: Everybody needs the same additions and hacks/alterations or else it won't work.

I know, it sucks, it would only work if you host. Say you have some socketed gloves, join someones game (unmodded), the sockets will either go away or be set to 0. But I think it would be nice "If" Blizzard releases a 1.14 patch, to include this. After all, it can't be that hard, I only modified two text files in about 15 minutes to do this. But then again, Blizzard never does anything for sp'ers, only bnet.

I'm not going to go to detailed, but I'm working on a project called ALAH (anti-legit, anti-hack). It's supposed to enable bnet stuff for sp, add constricting ring, socketed belts/boots/gloves, make annhilus and hellfire drop like gheeds fortune at an appropriate level, etc... Named becase it's not legit, but unlike most mods, it just adds things for SP Blizzard is too lazy to add, rather than hacking things to make Zods drop easily and monsters 100 times harder XD

Edit: Okay, maybe I should instead name it SLSH (semi-legit, semi-hack)?
Edit2: Then I could call it "Slash" (semi-legit and semi-hack)!!!!
Edit3: enough with edits, I'm going to stop blabering about this. In rules, this can only be discussed in Sp player forum, not community.

blizzard won't add stuff like this. As we can conclude from patches 1.12 and 1.13; they're too stupid to add any decent content. Upping runedrop chances is merely a case of changing a single digit. Changing a mercs name is just that too. Nerfing a synergie? Same there.


They couldnt fix any bugs, they couldnt increase stash properly or even enable shared character stash. Blizzard north being laid off like that seriously crippled blizzard on that aspect.


to be honest, adding sockets to gloves and boots wouldn't even be that big a deal. Now enable unique items to have sockets, THAT would be fun. It would completely change the character gear setups.

Re: The "BEST" place to mine runes, I'm 99% sure

Blizzard must be pretty stupid then. Because numerous mods i've seen have increased stash sizes and bugs fixed, along with socketed boots/belts/gloves. And me... I'm not that smart and ive implemented increased stash, etc...

As for the Uniques, I planned on making certain ones spawn with no or one sockets, such as Steelrend found with 0 or 1 sockets, and IK War Belt found with 0 or 1 sockets. Along with randomly other chosen sets/uniques to make it match the fact that certain sets/uniques that aren't belts/boots/gloves can have sockets when found. Also, the Larzuk sockets work with these too.

So if this did get implemented, it would create more demand for b/b/g, and more people hunting them to get good socket roll, or make runewords (like the beta Nightwhip pictured earlier). I also had a good runeword idea for gloves, "Eyeless" "Sur + Fal", would basically blind target and make em' eyeless. Anyway, I wish Blizzard would someday do something worth a while.

Edit: back with expample tommorrow

Not entirely accurate. What you do on your own computer is up to you. However our list of mods are limited (enabling Bnet runewords for example) and listed in post 9 of the SPF FAQ. Nothing else is allowed in our team/trade pool.

What was mentioned above is certainly NOT accepted in our team/trade pool.

We don't accept anything that's been in contact with Open.

No. Mod making is not discussed in the SPF; check the SPF FAQ for details or PM me with questions regarding what is acceptable in the SP(T)F as I Moderate those forums.

Thanks.

I don't mean to be a dick here, as I do have some respect for moderators in general, but like you said: What you do on your own computer is entirely up to you. As far as I know you cant actually trade anything single-player related anyway (but in honesty I never bothered with SP much so I could be wrong).

I mean we're not even talking about trading, we're just talking about what would be fun to add to Diablo 2 in general, and he is just using examples of SP modding. As far as I know talking about modding CAN'T even be illegal since blizzard made D2 an open program-type game that can be modded freely to one's desires in SP and Open Bnet (much like the UT games).

Again, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I just don't see the harm in discussing about something that is allowed by the developers, but strangely, not by an unofficial forum.

You are. Single Player Trade Forum and Single Player MP (teaming) Forum

My post was to correct two erroneous thoughts:
1) The SPF is the correct place for discussing mod-making
2) That hacking (and setting the council's life to one is definitely that) is something that wouldn't matter to SP players. I think it's fair to inform anyone doing stuff like that that it isn't acceptable in our MP/trade forum. Better than them not being told, trying to trade and being banned.

Nothing further is relevent. If you have any further confusion on any aspect of SP then feel free to PM me.

Re: The "BEST" place to mine runes, I'm 99% sure

Well, the council's life is definitely cheating I think, and I don't agree with that. But I don't really believe hacking new socketable items or runewords should be forbidden to talk about. I think discussing hacks for SP and such from a fan's point of view isn't a violation of anything, in fact I personally support it. Many games that had people add their own ideas and hacks kept on going for many years.

Isnt there some D2-mod out that completely changed the game as well? I forgot the name, but it looked pretty extreme in terms of hacking.

From the Single Player Forum rules:

"The multiple instance .dll, RRM, RWM, CRM, ATMA, GoMule, Median, Eastern Sun and Hell Unleashed are accepted with restrictions in the Single Player (Trade) Forum. Only ATMA and GoMule are acceptable elsewhere on diii.net.

These are the *only* mods and utilities allowed to come into contact with the items/characters/stashes to be traded/MP'd here and you may ask for help with those in the Mods, Muling, Utilities, Variants Help Thread (SPF). Trading items with these are accepted providing the Single Player Trade Rules (SPTF)are followed.

Mod development is not supported here and you may find what you need at the Phrozen Keep. Do not link to files unless they have been approved."

Re: The "BEST" place to mine runes, I'm 99% sure

so even talking about someone who, for self-purposes only, is fiddling around files and coming up with stuff like that for fun without any interest in singleplayer trading at all, is in essence violating Diii rules?

The multiple instance .dll, RRM, RWM, CRM, ATMA, GoMule, Median, Eastern Sun and Hell Unleashed are accepted with restrictions in the Single Player (Trade) Forum. Only ATMA and GoMule are acceptable elsewhere on diii.net
Mod development is not supported here

Thats a godawful double standard. "Oh wait, we somewhat approve of that modded-game series, kinda, but if you do it yourself you're a bad boy and we will spank you".

It's a ten year old game ffs.

Re: The "BEST" place to mine runes, I'm 99% sure

Yes, there is. That's why I made socketed b/b/g, because all the mods that added it completely changed the game to crap. I try to stay as legit as possible, and I'm not trying to sound like a bad hacker, but I get bored of Diablo 2 sometimes. And new additions is simply more character builds and fighting methods. That Council life thing, I'll admit, I don't feel good about doing it, but what the hell, it lets me do 4 times as many runs. But if I couldn't kill the Council (which I can), then I would consider it more cheat because it would let me kill enemys I normally couldn't. And all of the stuff I do have, I never use on battle.net open/closed. So if you don't want me mentioning anything about modding besides the accepted (rwm/rrm etc...), then I won't. But seriously, does it really hurt to make some additions and enjoy them before Diablo 3 takes over? Once it does, most people will switch to it, and Diablo 2 will decline.

Also, last mention about anything: I'll call my "legit + addition" SLASH, no links, but I'll release on another site if someone wants it (please don't h-bomb me for this thou, I'm not saying anything more unless approved )

edit - BTW: why don't you guys allow this here. I'm not giving advice for cheating on bnet or anything, just adding something I've wanted for years that Blizzard is already going to add in Diablo 3.

Edit 2 - Ok, so you allow talk about Median XL here. Well that was the mod i was talking about. It adds socketed b/b/g, but much more modifications I don't Like. So why can't we discuss this, my mod is more legit than it, its just socketed b/b/g.
