[Mod] Nydiamar

[Unsanity]

Keeps the game fresh and replayable, so I like it. Good game. I can’t wait for any prequels or sequels. So much the superior vs. Diablo 3 and yes I will say it, Diablo 2.

[medea_fleecestealer]

Well, you’ll be waiting a while. Crate have made it clear they want a break from ARPG’s and are focusing on their other projects: Farthest Frontier, a town building game due to go into early access on Steam some time in 2022; a horror survival game and also an RTS game which they said recently would be set on Cairn in a pre-GD era.

[Pierre]

To be honest can’t really compare diablo to grim dawn.It’s like comparing a 1990’s golf to a 2021 golf.It’s a 20 year difference.Diablo 2(not resurrection)will always be num 1 in most old players best played arpg’sWith that being said.I will agree diablo 3 on pc is crap on switch it’s actually a lot better.

I don’t think they will make a squeal/prequel any time soon.I would love to see it happen but at least not for the next 5-6years or even more.We will see what crate will bring in the future.I will always support them.Rather crate than blizzard in my opinion as at least from what i can tell,they look after there players.We had so much free content and i personally would love to see an act before act 1 of gd to tell hte story of what happened till then.But we can only hope for

There you go, prequel. Well of sorts, minus the ARPG. RTS sounds very interesting.

If the horror survival game is set in a fantasy realm, I’d look into that for sure. If it’s something along the lines of ‘strolling down the streets of Brooklyn and I encounter a vampire making a midnight snack out of a gangsta in the Rockaway,’ no thanks.

In short: Don’t put Nydiamar items into the Shared Stash. Equipment and components are fine.

There is a significant issue when someone puts the Defense Materials (that can build a defensive tower next to you) into their Shared Stash (not the normal one!). So don’t that.

I assume all Nydiamar items that are used by destroying them will have this same issue, so don’t put them in there either. These are probably all such items:

• Defense Materials
• Binding Stone
• Capture Apparatus

Beutekugeln should be fine.

Summon Stash spawns the stash on log-in when put into the normal stash. Weird, but not really an issue. Remove it from the stash should it start randomly getting summoned. Fixed.

Minor Update

This update brings over new stuff from the Lightweight Mod.

(+) New Feature — Recycling

Normal items get instantly recycled into something else the moment they drop. You receive a permanent item through the Lectern of Wisdom with which you can enable and disable this feature wherever you are.

Recycle Chances are:

• Nothing
  • 45%
• Iron Bits
  • 47%
• Iron Bits (High amount)
  • 1%
• Beutekugel (Monster Infrequents)
  • 5%
• Loot Explosion (Components)
  • 1%
• Loot Explosion (Legendary)
  • .5%
• Loot Explosion (Divine)
  • .5%

The idea is that you now acquire new rare equipment through the Beutekugel (Monster Infrequents) that commonly drops from the recycling process.

---

Changes

• (+) Added the legendary Beutekugel (Iron Bits) — Popping it causes lots of small satisfying explosions around you dropping plenty of Iron Bits
• (+) Recycle (Changes from Lightweight)
  • Added a 45% chance to recycle into nothing
  • Popping a Beutekugel (Monster Infrequents) now disables the recycle feature
  • Added an effect for when an item recycles into a Beutekugel (Monster Infrequents)
  • All effects now appear where the actual explosion happens instead of on the player
• (+) Removed the Nullification skill from enemies (I have not tested this)
• (+) Updated the Diablo 3 Classes mod by Grimer to version 4.0

(+) = Nydiamar & Nydiamar Dungeons
(–) = Nydiamar

---

EDIT:

• (+) Updated the Diablo 3 Classes mod by Grimer to version 4.0 update 1

Hi, I’m Italian, I would like to ask you 2 things:
1- can you use your mod with the game in Italian?
2- is Smash N Grab implemented in your mod?
3- is there a way to make multiplayer work?

Hi, I’m Italian, I would like to ask you 2 things:

2- is Smash N Grab implemented in your mod?
3- is there a way to make multiplayer work?

Obligatory “You should first give the Ultimate version a try”.

---

1. This should work, so that at least skills, menus and such are in Italian, though the rest of the mod such as dialog obviously would stay in english. So just give it a try.

---

2. No, but is has plenty of its features. Here’s a comparison:

Smash N Grab Unchained:

1. Increased drop rates on epics and legendary items
2. Even Higher experience rates.
3. Significantly increased iron bits drops which greatly helps to cover respec costs if you like to play around with your build.
4. Front loaded skill points system that lets you reach full build capability and beyond much faster!
5. 2 devotion points instead of 1 on all corrupted shrines up to a maximum of 94. Greatly increased from base game of 55.
6. Get all 5 bag slots after doing the water-pump quest giving you more time to smash and less rifting back to sell
7. 2 attribute points per level instead of 1.
8. Removed level requirements on most items
9. Max level cap increased to 200.
10. Kerrick the Devils Crossing vendor has expanded his inventory to now sell Aether Crystals and Polished Emeralds.

1. Yes, due to the many loot-spheres.
2. Yes, due to the Experience Tomes, Blessing of Doggo and overall bonuses due to playing on Ultimate.
3. Yes, there’s a loot-sphere that drops a lot and you can use the recycle feature, which yields a lot.
4. No.
5. Sort of, Nydiamar Dungeons, which you can play after reaching level 100, has an increased limit.
6. Yes, you start with 5.
7. Sort of, Nydiamar Dungeons rewards additional ones.
8. No.
9. Sort of, Nydiamar Dungeons has a level 200 limit.
10. Yes, there’s a merchant that sells all available components.

Nydiamar also has increased inventory and stash sizes.

3. Multiplayer does not work!

[Lelesirio]

I thank you infinitely for your prompt reply but I did not understand 2 things:
1- is the Ultimate version more difficult?
2- is there the automatic collection of objects on the ground?
3- can the Grim UI and New Caravan & Inventory (Extreme Edition) mods be installed both?
4- I installed everything except Affixes for Uniques I tried to play and from this screen (screenshot) I foresee something wrong, or is it because I play it in Italian or because I use the v.1.1.9.0 of the game?
5- is it compatible with the Grimarillion mod?
6- is it compatible with the Grim Internals mod?

[Van_Houck]

1. That depends, it is more “unbalanced” in both directions I would say, depending on how you play — though that makes it a bit more refreshing compared to vanilla. I still don’t recommend the Classic version, since this one might be more buggy. Should it be too difficult, then you could use the Nydar Mode (you will learn about it in the mod).

2. Same set of features as the base game, in this case it only picks up materials and iron bits.

3. Don’t know, it should since I bundled it but have not tested it in a long while. You totally should use the version with the Diablo 3 classes, and that version should not have Grim UI installed.

4. That’s due to the translation, which means that playing in Italian won’t work, unfortunately. Looks like the translation zip also requires the translation files of Nydiamar, which are very time consuming to create, so I don’t have them.

5. No, but at least the Diablo 3 classes are merged.

6. Yes.

ok, thank you, but since I can’t play it in Italian, unfortunately I’ll have to do without it

Pure manual extraction will inevitably make mistakes. Forgive me!

[Van_Houck]

Thanks a lot for the files, much appreciated!

---

@Lelesirio The files above can be used to merge Italian with English, just drop them into the Italian .zip, but these files are only for Nydiamar Dungeons, not the normal Nydiamar. Feel free to port an existing level 100 character over to a modded state (GD Stash: by adding the in-mod flag and moving the char over from main to user in your save game folder), use in-game console to type character.grantplayertoken LET_ME_PLAY_DAMMIT.

[tt300]

Can’t nydiamardungeons run independently? Must have nydiamar?
This prompt pops up after I enter with a level 100 character:

Besides nydiamar, where can I get the “special key”? Is there any other way?

In addition, what is the specific name of this “special key”? Just “special key”?

[Van_Houck]

Nydiamar Dungeons can work independently, so you could delete Nydiamar. Normally you would have to acquire this special key (called Entrance Key (Nydiamar Dungeons)) through completing Nydiamar on Ultimate (and reaching level 100).

You have two options to unlock it, both through the in-game console. Type either:

game.give “records\__ultimate\nydiamar_dungeons_unlock_item.dbr” (__ultimate has two underscores _)

OR

character.grantplayertoken LET_ME_PLAY_DAMMIT
