There are still ways to cube them. You just need to open your eyes a little bit.

oh, not to forget, there are only a few of them working, as some of them got removed as i needed the space in the excel sheets, as d2 has some stupid file restrictions

@joe

I have not been following all that has gone on!  "So take this with a grain of salt or a whole bag."

This is drastic, (Reaching for dictionary and my whiskey.) but could a mod for single play be split off the CE Mod making room in the files for changes. Then do the same for the on-line players.

Joe its just a whiskey fueled thought.

I know it would be a big change with a lot of work for the coders. I wish I could help with that but lack the skills needed and the time.

I'm the primary care giver for to other seniors, plus my self. I'm sixty eight it seems. My time does fly when you're not looking. (GRIN)

Heck I don't find time to continue my ramblings, ah, that is to poke them down for others to read. (Sips whiskey!)

I can just imagine the time restraints that you encounter. Keep safe and well. My kittens say hello to your pups. Do you want a couple kittens?
A new computer is still on hold, everyone wants extra money. Ha, ha. What is new. Wish I could find the bucket of gold coins, I hide. Darn memory, is going, getting old, I guess. Oh, I hide them in a game! Darn it all to hell!

  Keep whacking monsters and enjoy the CE Mod.

Bye for now, I be gone. bdpf

oh you need to play D3, there you find such gold things
and please no kitten...high allergical, wished i could mod my body...

@Joe

Need to find the coin first, to get a newer computer! Ha Ha

The wife got rid of some of my gilt items, up in smoke, damn.

Made post to the tavern, last night. Enjoy.

PS; Joe what do you think of about modifying the CE Mod and splitting off / making an off-line Mod for the single player. Would this bypass the file size restrictions?

bye again

[Ramierez]

I don't think single player has that issue since the shared chest is saved in an own file.

[bdpf]

@Ramierez

If I understand correctly, several files have size limits not just the chest.

Of coarse I'm just an old dummy the likes to play.

I also gummy my food too!

Bye

[Ramierez]

yes all the character data files have the restiriction as far as I know. The problem is that online the chest is saved in those files. Offline you can put all your stuff in the shared chest which doesn't have the restriction.

New Ideas threads should never grow old.

I'm in Hell/CGS with a skelliemancer.
I've maxed Golem Master & Blood Golem, so my Fire & Blood golems are as hi-life as they can get; they die very easily.
How to strengthen them?   Using Life Tap would require physical damage, the FG is pure Fire.

1: Make FG damage physical, and set the bit/flag that makes him Spectral Hit.  I'd also like his Aura to be Fanaticism rather than Holy Fire, but that's just me.

2: I like where BloodRaven is, but I wish the stash was back where Warriv is.

  Where ideas happen!

Okay Joe wake up and read this. No milk and cookies till you do! Webwalker (Webby) said I should post this Idea / suggestion. It is all his fault, if it is no good. I'll take the credit if any of it works...

Okay here it is.

Runes and rune words for green sets / items, to be only used in set items that comes with sockets. If player adds sockets to a set item, set rune words are disable, crippled, for that one item. The crippled set item would not complete a combination of words for the green set.

The combination of set rune words, in a green set would add extra skills, attributes to the set. Two sets could combine their set words for more for even another set bonus! All the set items must be equipped in the same screen, switching, tabbing to the other  equipped items to make another combination could be possible.

Well Old Joe this is just an all night idea of sleep deprived Gummy.  Even just part of it would be a game changer. The types of combinations could be linked to what level of the game a player is in, POC, LR and CGS. Just one or two words could help newbies in the first couple acts of POC.

Darn if I didn't add a new wrinkle to the idea. The fact that the sockets in green set items, just frustrated me since they were first used.

Now another possibility is to do the same thing with character class specific items, not rares. Like Druid helmets, belts and armor....

All character classes have items that benefit that class, even if other classes could use them. Drops with the right number of sockets to be used with certain rune words. Now your code guys will hate me but please try and make some of  this work.

Been running nercs, zons and sorcs with Webwalker, I like to whack monsters with single handed swords or use bows to reach out and ruin their day. Get, make item with good skills (3-5) but it is not rare and the body parts will not temper the item to make it just a little bit better. Could added souls to the body parts or a combination of added parts allow tempering of non rare items. Higher grade items would also be nice, just to add an extra touch to them.

Now for another thing that has bite me twice this year, Charsi's Hammer Quest. Change it if you can. Kill the Smith and let Charsi (how ever her name is spelled) change the attributes of one item. Move the damn Hammer to King Loric's chambers at the end of Act one. I hate to have part of the extra CE quests to be blocked when partied with someone who fails to read about the quests or just forgets about the hammer quest restrictions! There again got it off my chest.. Just fix the damn bug...

Now the Old Gummy, Generalist is too old to worry about spelling, complain and I'll gum you some. He He. Smile.

Need to stop now, before it gets really long. bye

By the way, have you donate a few nickles to Joe's CE Mod. Do so if you like playing, ever coin helps.
 

[ChaosEmpire]

a lot of ideas, but most not possible...as d2 does not allow us to do this
if you see a feature in another mod and think, this is useful in some way...it should be possible to be done (if realm compatible) but set specific rune words for exaample, i dont see a way to do this

[bdpf]

Joe cookies & milk if you rework Charsi's  quest some how.
That buggy quest is not right.

Put lock on the door to the hammer, grin, or some kind of sign,,,,,,

What about changing what can be tempered with body parts. I know that was hard to do, coding for all that. A change for future version................

The last coding  I did was basic on a Tandy HX 1000 and Macros  with Vin Editor / file manager, all dos 2 & 3. Macros to save corrupted data bases for friends..               
Thanks for replying  Joe, have a good one see u on the flop.
