Author Topic: Diablo2:Lord of Maidens - Touhou mod [Completed] (Read 282905 times)

Pesco · « **on:** May 11, 2011, 01:38:28 PM »

I posted the startup ideas thread in GBA. Did some of the exercises in the beginner's guide and now I think I'm ready to get serious about it.

Completed

Basic cosmetic and function tweaks
Modify the base items for Touhou flavouring
Modify/replace the character skills to suit Touhou character builds
Gameplay tweaks such as leveling speed and inventory sizes
Customization of non-main game areas to be areas of Gensokyo
Replace items to fit Touhou flavouring
Add new items for Touhou flavouring
Addition of custom bosses for the customized areas
replacement of classic enemies to fit Touhou flavouring

There's a lot of flavour rewriting to be done. It's a big project to do by myself, so anyone with D2 modding experience is welcome to offer advice on how to do some of the goals listed. Flavour planning is open to suggestions at all stages.

First release goal is to replace all the uniques in the game with Touhou ones. The current plan is to rename them into Touhou spellcards. I'll take suggestions of which D2 unique item to become which touhou spellcard from the list here. Please include flavourful justifications for your suggestions. The first release only aims to put the items in the game, balance will come later. That said, item properties are also welcome, but I WILL NOT implement something that looks absolutely overpowered.

Hmm as Far I know Mods for Diablo.. they can just convert the game, thus when it comes to maps, it will be still Diablo. Also.. I don't know if Diablo would allow to both shot and move.. which is kinda what is needed in this kind of game.(I Have blizzard or anyone that does not think it is a good idea to make it smash TV style.. when you can move or whatnot and cast spell not needing to stop for half of second to cast....)

Anyways.. if anyone would hmmm.. that would take a lot of work there.. I don't even know what kind of graphics/(s in sprites or whatever) Diablo use...

Naming everything after spellcards just didn't work out nicely. It didn't feel good and some names simply don't fit or make sense. All the elite unique items except for rings and amulets have been named now. I'll be naming them from top down. If I get to the stage where I can't name an item, it's probably not going to be worth using anyway :V. Still nothing on what item properties we'll be seeing though.

Test release time! This is a mod for testing the increased inventory and stash sizes of ALL classes and increased cube size.

How to use
Unzip the attached file directly to your D2 install folder.
Create a shortcut to run the game.
Right click the shortcut and go to Properties.
In the target line, add "-direct -txt". exactly like that with the space, but remember to remove the quotation marks.
This parameter lets you run the game by reading from the customised file.
Test the game with new characters please.
To test the expanded cube, PLEASE BACK UP A SAVE. Then use the semi-played character to test the size of the cube.

Post screenshots of any spacing issues that come up.

First release go! Not exactly with the items but some of the cosmetic adjustments are done already.

Ver 0.05
Inventory, stash and cube storage space increased.
Town portal, identify and keys are stackable up to 50.
Arrow and bolt quivers store 500 ammunition each.
Selectable difficulties renamed to Normal, Lunatic and Phantasm.

Known bugs
When buying TP/ID scrolls, they appear as stack sized 0. If you buy to fill up the stack, they buy up to 22 only despite the stack size being 50.

Edit:
Initial playtest on Bnet is that stacks of TP scrolls just don't work. DO NOT BUY SCROLL STACKS. Just use tomes for now. I'll have a fix for this up soon.

I am a proud owner of the following stuff.

ZUN hat
Coin of the Ferry
Lucky Carrot
10 Bad Apples
Eirin's Bow
Air Scroll
Suzuran
Asura Sword
Oni Mask

All those were gotten from very many Meph runs at a previous version of Diablo 2. (1.09 to be exact)
I may have forgotten a few of my Items as well. Been a long time since I played. (hurr no Tiamat's rebuke or Butcher's Pupil)

Pesco · « **Reply #11 on:** May 16, 2011, 06:53:51 AM »

Those items may be changed since I'm redoing the entire weapons/armour system.

Yukarin · « **Reply #12 on:** May 16, 2011, 08:29:12 AM »

Oh my, that's a big feat you got there. Well, at least you covered some popular items.

Are you also doing set items?

Pesco · « **Reply #13 on:** May 16, 2011, 08:36:25 AM »

Hell yes for set items. One for each Touhou if I can.

Alpha testing files attached. I am NOT responsible for your screwed up games if you try to use them without my knowledge.

Pesco · « **Reply #14 on:** May 17, 2011, 06:36:01 PM »

Just a GBZero · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2011, 11:29:32 PM »

Note all these are done with a amazon, which was annoying not having a bow buyable.

Drops are, well, still borked. Getting prety much anything, from high lvl stuff, to mostly high lvl stuff still, and a lot of super tea/sake.
Dolls do no throw damage and only meele damage.
Trying to meele with a scroll causes a crash

Expression: Unrecoverable internal error 6fad431b

Cat Ears make head invisable
Also liked what you did with pots.

Pesco · « **Reply #21 on:** May 19, 2011, 06:48:00 AM »

The droprates are fine when I test it with the debugging files, but once I pack the mpq, it borks again. The items system may take a while to completely fix still. If necessary, I'll redo all the items again.

Heads going invisible is likely due to there being no sprites for a character when equipped with that item. Like claws on a necro turns him invisible too.

Thanks for the feedback.

Moekou · « **Reply #25 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:06:29 AM »

Wow, this is really awesome! What a coincidence, I just started playing Diablo II eleven years late and naturally, as with every single computer game, I instinctively google "name + touhou mod" and lo and behold, I found this! I'm rootin' for ya!

Just wondering, what is the purpose of nerfing ring/amulet/jewel drop rates and removing charms?

Pesco · « **Reply #26 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:28:05 AM »

So far every time I modify items, the drop rates become borked. So it's a temporary fix for rings and amulets. Completely removing charms is a balance mechanism. The bigger the inventory, the less effective charms should be. I want to make charms into unique drops from special bosses, so they become something worthwhile to get.

Moekou · « **Reply #27 on:** June 03, 2011, 12:32:20 AM »

Ah I see! Looking forward to it! Are you making any new custom bosses? Are the charms going to be guaranteed like Annhilus and Hellfire Torch and gotten from uberbosses or will they be rare drops?

What are you cooking up for the next update?

Good luck and good work!

Pesco · « **Reply #28 on:** June 03, 2011, 08:37:35 AM »

Custom boss sprites would be nice, but that's for later when I'm more experienced. I'm making do with whatever monster animations the game already has.

I intend the reward charms to be guaranteed drops and hopefully their effects would reflect the effort it takes to get it. Only available on Phantasm of course.

The next release had the option of putting in cube recipes, runes and runewords or creating uniques. I've done a bit of all of those, nothing complete yet but it's coming together.

Moekou · « **Reply #29 on:** June 03, 2011, 08:54:28 AM »

How much do you plan to tweak skill trees in order to reflect Touhou builds?

Are you planning to make recipes viewable ingame or will it remain something to be looked up online?

Also, do you think the next patch will be compatible with 0.15? =)
