[Mod] Reign of Terror

is anyone having issues with it just downloading slow?

Fireball is a PASSIVE that adds to Firebolt.

jumping out my window now

Any skill either in a line or by itself that is a circle is a passive, only Square skills can be assigned to the hotkey bar.

Well, i only had to download the Update, not the complete mod. Did you try to manually choose the path to the mod in the settings?

Manually set both paths in Settings, RoT Launcher stated that it detected the mod, then stated that it couldnā€™t verify the version and so reinstalled the ENTIRE mod but to only 0.6.4. THEN it finally downloaded the updates after like 80 minutes to redownload the mod.

Than i donā€™t know, though there some different possible issues which couldā€™ve caused that. The ones which would come in my mind would be that the Modfiles were in some way corrupted so the Tool couldnā€™t read it properly. Another one is - if you are using Windows 10(maybe 7/8 have the same problem) and installed Steam plus Games at the standartpath (Program Files [x86]) and didnā€™t run the RoT Launcher in Admin-mode than Windows tend to b*** about it. Maybe it blocked (due no Admin mode)the Tool to read the files properlyā€¦

Using RoT launcher is the preferred method of updating RoT from now on as it allows us to make real-time (live) updates directly in the tool so there is no need to re-announce / re-post / re-upload and manually download anything, all you need to do is restart the launcher and let it sync files with the latest version.

Some users experiencing slower download speed is something we are aware of and @Roth is looking into a solution. He already switched to a faster server once, however it has not solved the issue for everyone, apparently.

Due to network limitations, the new update method is not suitable for Chinese players, so it is strongly recommended to release patches according to the old method. (At least this option should be added to give players their own choice.)

First of all, I just wanna say thank you for this amazing mod Mr. Ram, Iā€™ve been playing the hell out of it.
For me it is hands down the best d2 mod out there.
Like the poster above me, I would like to ask you to give us the option aside from the patcher to download the patches individually, as I too sometimes have connectivity issues.

Same problem with RoT not recognized.I will just redownload the whole thing tonight when i go to bed.

I hear all of you loud and clear, separate 0.6.1.5 hotfix link is going to be added later today together with the latest standalone RoT version so that new players who cannot use the launcher can simply extract 1 file and start enjoying the mod right away.

Thanks for this mod. I love GD but was getting burnt out. I used other mods that added a lot to the game, but with this mod itā€™s very much like a new game completely. I played the D2 as well, but it was a long time ago.

I tried it a couple of times and could not make it work. Then - I actually read the install instructions and that worked like a charm. I do have one question and could not find an answer with a thread search, so forgive me if this has been answered.

Iā€™m not sure how to utilize the multiple sockets on items. The most recent game Iā€™ve played with sockets was TL2 (great to play with the wife since it is less complex). I did the right click and can add a single component - but cannot sort out how to add multiple components (if that is what the sockets are for). Iā€™ll gladly go back and read if the answer is here somewhere, but if not how do I utilize the sockets?

Thanks again! Love the mod and appreciate your passion project.

Just uploaded 0.6.1.5 standalone version so the installation process is much more straightforward then what it used to be. Thereā€™s also new RoT Launcher that takes care of any future updates automatically (still in beta but works fine for most users already).

Socketed items in RoT serve only as crafting material for Runewords so you cannot insert more than 1 component to them at a time (GD limitation).

Because of limitations, you use the Horadric Cube to craft Runewords.

Thanks for the quick reply. Iā€™ll download the update and launcher. Also, thanks for clarifying the sockets. I have a free day and nothing to do but marathon your mod. Having a blast with it so far!

For me itā€™s np i am busy redownload it with launcher.Itā€™s best as if i donā€™t do it i will have problem in the future.

@bensene: Itā€™s not a D2 mod, itā€™s a GD mod. :slight_smile: Otherwise, ya. :slight_smile:

@Ram, good to see new blood on the mod! :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve had a few months break from GD and am ā€œremasteringā€ wolfenstein 3D in GzDoom, LOLOL (maybe some day I will actually learn 3D modeling besides simply replacing skins or doing 2D graphics/flat seamless textures). Glad this mod is working, still unsure if I should launch Grimarillion after that huge patch for the base GD game months back! I started playing GD mods with the assumption that was behind us. :slight_smile: I hope Steam some day makes their games more mod friendly.

Grimarillion is up to date with the game. Currently on v74.

I was told that with some mods you lose your existing toons . Has that been an issue with this one ?

Thanks in advance!
