Mod Goals

There are two main goals for this mod.

The first is to create more variety for hardcore play. My strategy is to make it easier to avoid being one-shotted, while making it much

easier to get overwhelmed by creatures due to larger groups, faster attacks, and debuffs. Preparation, farming, and strategic decisions

will be much more important than fast reflexes and running around in circles constantly even when on full health when facing bosses.

The second is to create a loot system more like Diablo 2. More items, more sets, greater variety. Makes farming more rewarding (while

helping with the challenge of hardcore.

  • Level 60 Mastery Maximum
  • 3 Skill Points per level to level 60 (vs. 50 originally), 2 bonus points at level 10

So i don’t appear to be getting any noticeable effect from the mod. It shows up in the menu but only has the vanilla classes and seems to be just vanilla as far as i can tell.

EDIT: Ok i figured it out, this was the unbuilt mod. I built the mod and it works now. Your explanation made it sound like it was built so perhaps you uploaded the wrong files or something.

Looks promising, maybe we can finally get a Grimmest replacement?

Curious if you know about the previous game with the same name. I used to play it on the VAX at university, but it seems to still exist to this day (albeit in Java so not about to test it). But I know the command line version still exists in bsd-games on linux.

Seems that Jaime_Warlock uploaded the source, so either use the toolset to compile the mod or wait for him to upload a compiled version.

Yeah already done Jiaco. I just assumed the first time and commented right before i realized what had happened.

Looks promising though.

5

Oops, my mistake (how embarrassing). Compiled version is uploaded now.

Don’t bother trying to compile it yourself. I use a batch file which compiles the mesh files afterwards. Otherwise, custom meshes will be all be missing.

6

Can we get some printscreens of the runes please?
I loved the runes and Runeword system in Diablo 2 =)

7

Minor Update of some graphics and text. Fixed some recipes. I also include a .txt file now titled with the latest time of creation.

No, but I heard the Rovers keep up on that stuff. They collect a lot of artifacts and are highly knowledgeable of ancient runes. :stuck_out_tongue:

Teaser for new class selection interface. Also working on 3 new masteries. The hardest one, the Savant, is done. Mystic will be loosely based on the Dream mastery from TQ. The final, the Barbarian, will be a cross between D2 and D3. It has plenty of stuff for me to choose from and should be the quickest.
