Out of curiosity, what is it about mousepad's that you like that keeps you from switching to the one Garfu posted, particularly because the latter doesn't compromise merc functionality with the d2gfx replacement?

Juso crashes people without mousepad's or else I would happily not use it.

My friends and I are going to play the regular LOD reset, but now my realm (not gateway) only points to easterngents. I've tried several un/reinstalls, but I can't fix this. Anyone got any idea how to fix this problem?

I was gambling for DW FoC and PS last night, using the updated gamble plugin, and the second I turn it on the RNG shits itself. I start getting exceptional uniques. Not one, not two; it keeps going until my inventory is full of them, and it's about to start selling when I slam my spacebar to actually look at what I have. Yep. About 5 copies of Link's Mirror and a couple of the other unique's whose names I can't remember.

I'm pretty sure you can still play with us. Make sure you have the IDDQD's v9 patch mpq and find a mac gateway editor and point it at the realm and you should be good to go.

Also for anyone else just getting started be sure to hop on irc and beg for money. Starting solo in ES is pretty painful but even a little gear goes a long way.

Seconding this. I try to sweep for newbie games a couple times a week to hand out starter sets and cash, but you'll find that most goons are just as if not more generous if you take the time to ask.

I have the complete Vega's Elegance set which I've upgraded, and Motoko's Captivation which I'm willing to give away. Vegas is dual claw but it allowed me to survive nightmare and some way into hell.

D2MultiRes was designed for 1.12 and it is not something I can just patch in since Eastern Sun is based on 1.10. D2MultiRes and Eastern Sun both use a modified d2gfx as well so that would require merging the changes from the two of them into a new dll. It looks like the author has not worked on this in a long time, at least according to the forums I have read, so I wouldn't hold my breath on a 1.10 version either.

This is not something I can do, sorry.

There's a 1.12 (or did they bump up to 1.13) version of ES on pk, though merging everything might be more trouble than it's worth, especially with the general lack of stability of D2MultiRes and how it makes casters/archers even more overpowered than ever before.

WTF?!

Yea Downtime would have to write a whole new SA community patch from scratch with all of Bolt's changes in it that worked with the ES 1.10 > 1.12 mod in order for the method/files shown on Phrozen Keep forums to work. I'm not a D2 modder but as near as I can tell its a heck of a lot of work to do that, especially for just one person.

Its a shame because it works so great with the default ES, and so long as you keep the resolution around 720p it'll give you little to no advantage over the monsters in the game.

There were some posts in the D2MultiRes thread on Phrozenkeep that implied that PlugY doesn't work properly with 1.12 either. Has that been fixed?

ES uses an old version of plugy that supports 1.10 where you need a newer version for 1.12 and last I heard that version didn't work with something that ES did.

It apparently mostly works with ES, they had to use an older version that caused similiar issues to what some have experienced with Bolt's patch. Link is here if you want to read more:

We also have to remember that most of the work done to get D2MultiRes working with Eastern Sun ported to 1.12a has been for single player mode.

I also noticed this in that thread:

quote:

Second 1.12a has the same damage caps as 1.09. ES will encounter damage caps and players will complain that they do no damage.

Its true that most of the work has been done to make it functional for SP mode, but apparently some have had success with MP mode too. That is where most of bugs pop up unfortunately.

Like I said, it'd be a heck of a lot of work for you to do it. And if I wasn't clear about it what I was suggesting was that it'd be unreasonable to expect you to try and pull it off.

Especially when you can just take the 5 seconds to right-click your desktop and change your screen resolution to a lower number instead. I know its not the same as expanding the game's resolution, but at least you're not playing d2 in a tiny window.

If someone can figure out how to fix the cursor moving bug with Glide and post how that would be useful too.

There was a tool written for Starcraft that would let you play it in a Window double its normal size, but with stretched pixels. Outside of Glide, does anything like that exist for d2?
