QOL Mod Pack for Diablo II.

d2-plugy-qol's Issues

Mouse wheel not working

Hi, been wanting to get back into D2 and your mod pack does everything I want. Great work!

I've played D2 on and off for almost 20 years and I've always used the mouse wheel to switch between skills, but that's not working here. You can't use mouse wheel to scroll anything in game.

I have a clean copy of 1.13d and if I run that without Compatibility settings then mouse wheel won't work there either.

Compatibility is needed for mouse wheel to work even in the game menus. Googling has not been much help.

Do you know if there is another way to fix this?

Read / Write from mpq files

It would be nice to read / write a patch_d2.mpq file rather than reading/writing a data folder.

pod.dll file give a score of 5/69 on VirusTotal

1. What is that file for?
2. Is it necessary?
3. Have you made it yourself or taken from somewhere else?

Not an issue (3D Sound)

Like your D2 QOL pack.
Just found out indirectsound (dsound.dll) is enabling 3d sound in d2 sound option. but not actually emulating eax (maybe it's just not working on my end). your can tell differences in indoor areas like cathedral say something your character (with headphone).

https://github.com/kcat/dsoal this is actually works on my machine. found binaries in http://vaporeon.io/hosted/dsoal-builds/.
i dunno how stable this. but not bad so far.

Inventory height is not expanded

When playing with the latest Basemod and Plugy, the inventory is expanded to 6 rows instead of 4. With this pack, even with the latest downloads containing the new Basemod and Plugy files, the inventory remains only at 4 rows. I haven't been able to find any settings in the config files that can adjust this.

Thanks for your work on this pack, it's great having all these mods preconfigured and working together.

Update BaseMod Version

Hi whipowill!

Nice work, thank you !!

Why not update the BaseMod to latest version for bugfixes and new features.

Thanks!

Update instructions

Please change the final step from "Play the game" to "Run PlugY" It took me 10 minutes to figure this out.

Make a note about adjusting Glide settings. At minimum I had to enable "desktopresolution" under "settings". I experienced a black screen and then the game would minimize until I changed this.

I am using Windows 10 x64

Can you msg me on discord GreenDude#8303 or reddit greendude120

Loot Filter (not working?) - Can't find acvation settings

Loot filter doesn't seem to be working for me, or at least doesn't seem to be activated. Everything else is working fine, but i can't seem to find the "settings" you were talking about, which alow the activation of the mod. If it was supposed to be within the vanilla game options, it isn't. I don't think i missed anything or booting up the game, but i wasn't able to find any settings for it. Thanks in advance.

Game is crashing on Pandemonium event

Just thought i would give a heads up.
Up until uber tristram everything works fine, except for the occasional weird ear drop that doesn't bother me that much. I managed to kill Uber Mephisto and Uber Baal without any problems, but when i kill Pandemonium Diablo the game crashes everytime. Banger modpack though.

Error message goes as follows:

Diablo II Error
Halt
Location : , line #2538
Expression : Unrecorable internal error 0344384f

Some problems with skulls

There are some issues with skulls that change their description.
Sometimes they are labeled correct, but sometimes it changes to a completely other tooltip

If I try to take move them, when they are the wrong desription, the game crashes, but as long as I leave them untouched, nothing happens.
Changing characters or restarting the game helps at times getting them to normal again.

Oh and there are ear drops. But that was already reported by someone else.
If someone reported my issue before, please forgive me, but I did not see it anywhere.

Followed the Installation Guide But...

I followed the installation instructions exactly five times, but it won't work on Windows 10 x64. I get an error unless I use the backup files. The game runs great with glide (much better than Direct 3D) and PlugY works perfectly. However, with your modified PlugY.ini, fog.dll, and basemod.dll files, the game gives this error and will not run. It makes no difference if it is a "limited install" or not.

Error:
PlugY.exe
An exception (C000000D) occurred during DllEntryPoint or DllMain in module:
C:\Games\Diablo II\glide3x.dll

The problem does not occur when running Glide and/or PlugY without your modified PlugY.ini, fog.dll, and basemod.dll files, though.

Intense Mouse Lag

Hi, i have a strong mouse lag, are there any settings i can try to play wiht?

Ears dropping

Hello whipowill
Thank you for this qol pack. I am enyoing it massively. Still, I discovered monsters regularly drop ears and if you identify the ears your game crashes. Any fixes or ideas why there are ears dropping?

d2lootfilter by dschu012

Hi @whipowill, have you seen the new loot filter that's being developed by dschu012? Do you think it could eventually replace the one from Slashdiablo?

3 Skulls = 1 Ear

Greetings!

Using the QOL Mod Pack and am really liking it. I did come across what looks to be a bug, though. I placed 3 chipped skulls into the cube and ended up getting 1 ear! I decided to keep going to get 3 ears and cubed them...and still got an ear. Rather odd so I wanted to point that out. Screenshot attached.

Thanks!

New gameplay changes dont seem to apply to old saves

I was playing a bowazon on an older version of this pack and noticed that you added replentish to all quivers and made them so that they can drop as magic and rare, i loaded up my save and noticed my quivers dont say that they replentish and dont seem to do so, i also havent found rare or magic quivers after doing some act 3 normal.

Plugy stash

The stash arrows do not seem to be responsive, but if I shift click to the last page it works and then I can go backwards in pages but never foward. This wasn't the case before the d2gl update.

Edit: nvm found the fix in plugy settings. The "maxpersonnalpages" variable was set to 1 :|

Autogoldpick up on battle.net or Private server?

Is it for SP only?

Applying Map Hack ontop of your QoL pack ?

Thank you for doing this !

Any ideas on how could a map hack be applied on top of your QoL pack ?

So far I have tried many ways of making reddit's Slash Diablo recommended map hack but my attempts are fruitless, probably i don't know what to copy and where.

Link to said map hack : https://www.reddit.com/r/slashdiablo/wiki/index/setup

Ear dropped, identified, crashed and ALL gold lost after starting game back up

I realize people are having this issue, but I saw no mention of the gold lost upon starting up the game again. All gold was completely gone, and my health as well.

Issues with macOS installation guide

I was trying to install D2LOD with the UNIX Guide. I have two issues with this:

1. I think some of the commands in the guide are not correct
2. After installing it, I cannot start the game with the suggested parameter -3dfx

Guide corrections

Before I complain, thank you so much for the guide, I could not have installed it without it! The guide seems to be perfect up until the point where it tries to create aliases.

• First of all, I was able to figure out to save .bash_rc by typing :wq, but it would have been nice if the guide said so.
• After creating an alias and restarting Terminal, the alias didn't work for me. It seems that since macOS switched to a different console, the file that needs to be edited is ~/.zshrc (see here).
• Next, the path used in the alias in the manual seems to be outdated. Instead of
  • alias d2="cd ~/.wine_d2/drive_c/games/diablo\ ii && WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_d2 wine game.exe -3dfx -direct -txt"
  • I had to use
  • alias d2="cd ~/.wine_d2/drive_c/Program\ Files/Diablo\ II && WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_d2 wine game.exe -3dfx -direct -txt"
  • and instead of
  • alias d2qol="cd ~/.wine_d2plugy/drive_c/games/diablo\ ii && WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_d2qol wine game.exe -3dfx -direct -txt"
  • I had to use
  • alias d2qol="cd ~/.wine_d2qol/drive_c/Program\ Files/Diablo\ II && WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_d2qol wine game.exe -3dfx -direct -txt"
• copying my Wine install with cp -r ~/.wine_d2 ~/.wine_d2qol created issues, it was easier to drag-copy inside the home-folder. Of course, to do that, one has to enable showing hidden files first (Shift+CMD+.).

3dfx issues

The second problem is my current one though. The game won't start with the -3dfx parameter (without it, it starts fine - but I can't change resolution to widescreen/HD, which QOL is supposed to allow, right?). Here's my output:

me@my-MacBook-Air Diablo II % cd ~/.wine_d2qol/drive_c/Program\ Files/Diablo\ II && WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_d2qol wine game.exe -3dfx -direct -txt

Could you please help me with this issue? I don't seem to have a vulkan-1.dll file in my folder, even after adding the files from this repo to my qol-folder. I read online, that vulkan-1.dll is different for different GPUs, however I'm using the graphics of my Intel processor (Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB), which doesn't seem to have a vulkan-1 implementation? Is it necessary for D2DX / resolution extension?

Consider more vanilla-style lootfilter?

This project is gold, but it lacks more vanilla-looking loot syntax, at least as the possible choice.
Could you please chech that out: https://github.com/narical/Simplicity ?
That's my project, the goal was to provide as close to original D2 player experience as possible, but with non-intrusive QoL.

Play with battle net

Is it possible with this configuration to contact the battlenet in order to play online ?

Akara is bugged a bit

1. her reset skill points get reset with 2 buttons named missing string top resets stats bottom resets weapons stats.
2. you have it remove skill points then give you points based on level + if you got ratamant/akara/isual. which are 1. works except for isual which actually gives you 2 and im 1 skill short

Compatibility with 1.14d

There can be different versions of d2-plugy-qol of different branches, matching newer versions of the game.

Unreadable fonts

Thanks for this wonderful mod compilation.
My problem is i cant read the font because its unreadable.

Amplify Damage Curse from Necro not applying

When you install this mod with the skill changes included the amplify damage curse for Necromancer does not apply to enemies anymore. Once you delete the global folder it works again. I tested this with a new character as well. Other Necro curses like Decrepify do still apply. I haven't tested all curses, but amplify damage does not work anymore.

New tool released

Hi, I just open sourced and released a project I have been working on. Not sure if you would like to add it to this repo.

It is still in the pre-release stage, but here it is: https://github.com/tlentz/d2modmaker
