The game from the package files runs good but I've noticed that it looks like shadows or lighting or whatever are disabled and areas like the underground dungeons are full bright.

Is this a feature of the glide wrapper or one of the plugins that can be changed?

its a feature of the maphack. press f1 pay respects reveal the map

You can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream.
Played this mod for hours on end back in 2005. Does it still run on the current version (downloaded from battle.net)?

Ah, thanks.

Edit: I dug through the old thread and it looks like people had the same issue with no fix.

If there is, I wasn't able to find it. I finally just decided to live without Maphack.

JHJ's maphack is apparently based on mousepad's 4.6 source, but I could find no documentation on the internet that so much as suggests JHJ's maphack is capable of disabling full light.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

How to be a creeping doom druid, in three easy steps:
1. put points into creeping doom
2. stunlock everything forever
3. win

bonus step 4. don't fight things that can't be stunned

Actual advice: get a source of Ancient's Call to break immunes; offensive act 5 merc is the easiest way. You can always stunlock magic immunes until his lazy rear end gets around to shouting. Browse through the db for anything that seems like it would be good - +skills, %magic damage, etc. - there's no real trick to it. It's one of the easiest characters to play. Pump energy for the damage augmenter. Put a point in oak sage, that's always good. Other obvious things. You really can't go wrong.

Cool, I have a druid on the current server at level 94 or 95, cant remember. Now that respecs are a thing (ty garfu and deathrat) I wanted to try out other stuff with the druid. Big problem is my gear is pretty well tuned to winter fury and cold damage, so I end up switching and feeling underwhelmed.

Also WF is great, and so are tornadoes. I can't recommend it hard enough.

Gambling can roll -8 +7 ilvl iirc, so 58 for it to be a sure thing, but you can get it at 43

+4 to -5, so you ideally want to be 5 levels ahead.

Something really hosed happened to my game install. I was playing last night hosting a local TCP/IP game and had 7 other local clients join the game and I partied them together (multiboxed) everything was perfect and i quit for the night. This afternoon I go to play again and no matter what character i choose, anytime in-game that i press TAB to view the map the game crashes instantly (single player or the host alone). I tried changing the "automap" settings in game, but still crashes regardless of what map I am on.

Any thoughts or is there a file/config i can try removing or replacing to fix this poo poo? It must have something to do with the map hack or whatever it is that I never use?

So I'm not too familiar with vanilla Diablo 2. I can see the potential of Eastern Sun and want to see if I can get some of my buds to give it a shot with me, but I can't quite tell them what makes it different than like... Diablo 3. Saying "it's d2 with nuts customization options" isn't quite cutting it.

As someone with no real knowledge of D3 or the capabilities that eastern sun has to offer, what could I show or tell someone who's more interested in d3 that this is worth their time?

The graphics aren't as flashy as D3, but there are some crazy nutso abilities and combinations you can make. The endgame is virtually unlimited, and once you gear up a little bit, the game starts looking like one of those bullet hell vertical shooters. You can customize your gear to a ridiculous level - take a look at some of the screenshots posted in this thread.

Thanks, I shot over the screenshot of the late game gear talking about the item recipes and one of my buds pretty much just said " well Diablo 3 has that same system." I was hoping there was a more succinct, noticeable difference I could send to someone familiar with Diablo to say "nah this is what this mod is all about" beyond "look how big the numbers get," if that makes sense.

I guess I just gotta keep pressuring until one of 'em caves, haha

Reminder that the .t plugin exists to help you scroll through your stockers!

.load t

then, with your multistocker in the cube, you can use ".t map" to scroll to maples, or ".t sca" to scroll to scalps. Works on other stockers, too! With rune stockers, you have to use capital letters, i.e. ".t Nu"

.t is great! Use it!!

If they say D3 has that, you probably just shouldn't trust they've played either game that much
