Yea I’m thinking that the MPQs are different (if you really wanna know you can generate a sha256 hash or something for all of the retail MPQs and also all of the MPQs installed by the shareware. You can also compare the MPQ file sizes. If they are different than it wouldn’t be Cactusable given...

I guess one other thing I thought about that might affect the experience is whether or not the MPQ files in 1.04 shareware and 1.04 retail are exactly the same, just to make sure there are no content differences between the core files. I would think it’s possible the MPQs are the same since the...

Lol. All you need to do is copy the same files that the normal 1.04 (b or c doesn't matter, they have same file list) platform has from your shareware 1.04 and put it in its own platform, it should work! Call the platform something like: 1.04 (Shareware) That should be it!

Lol yea cnc-ddraw would fix that video problem ;D. I'll need to check if my Diablo II Collector's Edition (1.00) has a shareware version on it.. maybe/maybe not. I remember when I installed some of my other Blizzard games from the CD, they would have the Shareware, but maybe I'm misremembering...

I did, more than once :oops:

Let’s just say you’ll be fine :).

@soulgazer Not the full list since Succulent used to be called Vanilla Frosting at a certain point of its life and very early on it was called D2Enhanced if we really go back to the very beginning lol. You’ll definitely find Vanilla Frosting references online. But you can check out the PATCH...

Lol shameless plug but Succulent is already based on 1.09b, has 1.08 uniques, and a bunch of other improvements and changes so you might be interested in checking it out :p

I’ll let others answer your questions but due note that 1.09b Final Edition is available for easy installation in the Cactus Ports Collection and should be available in our Resource Manager as well.

Sounds good. Looking forward to it!

Welcome to the forum @soulgazer. I’m glad you have found Cactus and the other tools useful. Sorry to hear about your Sorc. I guess it’s time to make another one haha. Are you twinking the next one or fully isolated?

Beautiful nec ammy

Lol Brother Laz’s chicken approach and blood raven in 1.10.

It means I don’t publish any of my modifications publicly so people can’t really extend my mod directly.

@GoonBoiBarry Welcome to the forums! You and Manny are correct in that I’m not interested in supporting 1.09d. You are also right that the primary reason I went with 1.09b was for players 64 and CtC bug being fixed in that version. I’m also not really a fan of too many modifications to Diablo II...

It's not P2P. All of the stuff is saved on the Internet Archives' servers. So centralized. In terms of things getting lost, I believe Internet Archive is just periodically crawling the internet and taking snapshots of whatever they can* at that point in time. So basic html pages, text, images...

That’s correct. I believe they are in the files but not enabled.

@thrasher_565 I don’t think it’s cause of the 1.00 guide. The 1.04 patch notes say this: Lances, Holy Water Sprinklers, Grim Helms, War Clubs, and Stilettos can now be dropped by monsters and chests. So unless there is another way to drop a lance outside of monsters and chests in 1.00, I don’t...

Yea make sure that there is no Patch_D2.mpq file that is interfering with 1.07. Cactus already comes with an empty Patch_D2.mpq file that is 0 mb in the 1.07 folder, that file should remain there. You should be using the 1.07 platform files provided by Cactus and your MPQs should already be...

Yup, hireling life regen* to be specific. This is what the 1.09 patch notes say: Fixed a bug where hireling health regeneration was dependent on the number of players in game. 1.09 also added health regeneration to the rest of the mercs since only the A5 merc had regeneration from my...
