Ok..Being one of about -3 english speaking people here..lol..I hope you can all read this..and if you reply in german..I just hope its all good stuff because if you call me something like a quill rat Mephesto lover I will never know..lol. Ok..I must say this mod is GREAT. It has brought me back to D2 with a passion. GREAT STUFF. I am not sure who all put this thing together but your all GODS!! Other than the map reseting everytime you log out. I don't guess that can change? I was also wondering if the work on this mod is ongoing? Like..for the 1.11 patch and such. I hope so..this is the only mod I have ever seeen hold its own with the Ancients Mod. I have noticed..for all you Dell owners..that if your running Musicmatch Jukebox in the background and your game is paused when it changes songs it will close them both. Just a note there. But anyway..GREAT stuff...Much respect here. I hope the work on this keeps going.

The changing map is a wanted function.
Chaos works nearly all his time at this Mod, but he has clearly said there will no ChaosEmpire depending on Patch 1.11. The main reason for this is that there are several code edits in the Mod which can't writen again and it exists no server-working version of 1.11 (at this time).
-
ohhhh! so a big chunk of the code would have to be re-written to make CE work with 1.11? that really sucks i was looking forward to that soon. ohwell!
-
why?
1.11 does not contain any interesting new feature...
there are some copied monters..we have many more NEW onsters
there is a new 4parted level...we have jsut much more
the only reason would be to get some of those stupid bugs fixed..and..the most important has already fixed 2years ago....aura crash fix for german, spanish and poland
-
Only nice Function would be the fix of the Synergy Bug with Charges.
-
no charges,no bug
-
no charges,no bug
you mean you do not have to use the bug ?
-
he means there aren't any charges no more so no one can use the bug...
-
he deleted all charges in 7.60?
-
Oh wow...Chaos Himself responded...thats sweet. Dude..you rule. And thats cool on the 1.11..No biggie...But I am curious...What if the new map everytime ISN'T a wanted fucntion..lol. I am old school and the shared stash..which I LOVE...makes MF runs a thing of real use. But the new map eveerytime thing makes them kinda hard in Hell. I am prob the only person who feels this way.its more of a curiosity more than anything. If anyone has feed back on it drop some info on here. Once again..Chaos...You rule man...I love this mod.
-
he deleted all charges in 7.60?
I gambled a ring with charges to telekinesis, so Chaos' comment "no charges, no bug" is at best cryptic.
-
I Think it's meant that there is no use in using (lol @ my english) the bug, cuz the items lack higher Level Charges, so putting points into Synergies maybe more effective.
-
Ok..I have another question. I noticed on Hell level. It keeps saying XXX number of Stones of Jordan sold to merchants...What does that mean? ANd can I but them? lol
-
it's like the soj counter on bnet, at a certain points, a world event is triggerd and the world event diablo clone spawns instead of the next superunique monster.
the counter is slowly increased by time, but selling a special item boost the counter.
ThePaPsT
-
Oh..thats cool..Just curious...sence I have dial up and bnet is something that my computer seems to think should be run at with gaping hopes of lagg and other fun stuff...how high does the counter need to be for Dclone to spawn? Or what number does it need to be at?
-
i think he spawns at a random number maximum 50-75 sojs after the first counter in the game
if you sell sojs the counter will increase by 25 i think :)
-
I think I might have found something. I got a couple of Books of wisdom. I made a new char..lvl one..got the book from my shared storage,used it, killed the first moster I saw...easy low lvl act 1 monster. I go to lvl 35 and only have like...10 mill exp..Am I getting that over 99 rollback to ~30 effect you talk about in the read me? If so..how do I avoid this? If not..what is happening? Thanks.
-
that doesn't have to do with lvl 100 rollback at all
the BoW gives 5 million exp (you seem to use an older version...) but you get them only if you kill at least one monster if you would get one or more lvl(s) with that exp :)
-
Ahh..I See..I was on Ver 7.55..I need ver 7.60d...Do I just need the item list or do I need both DLs for 7.60??
-
you need onle the 7.55 exe and the 7.60g zip file.
Install D2, LOD, 1.10 patch, and run 7.55.exe; then activate the mod and unzip/extract/overwrite the files from the .zip onto the activated D2/LOD/220/CE_7.55 installation.
Also remember to hit the Donate key.
-
Ok..Let me rephrase that...there are 2 DL options on the DL page..the UPD Ver 7.60d and the Itemlist Ver 7.60D...Which one of those do I need or do I need both? And also..Is there a way to traslate this page from German to english? lol..I am sure someone has asked this stuff before...they just asked it in German..lol
-
Just the upd is necessary, the itemlist is just a list of items for you entertainment.
Useful info, but not a part of the game program, not required to run.
-
i have no idea which download page you use but why dont you download 7.60g here in the forum??
-
I got it up to 7.60..thank you for the help..Just wanted to tell Chaos great job. The weapon masteries are sweet. Wonderful add on. I am curious of something though...What is a Mysterious Scroll and what do I do with it? It doesn't have any atributes or magic or anything..lol..Is there anything I can do with them or are they just junk? And doesn't anyone know of a way to traslate the forum pages from German to English? Lol..I feel stupid asking questions that have probably already been asked in German..lol. Thansk for all your help.
-
the mysterious scrolls don't have any use anymore
you can try translating via babelfish but it translates nearly word by word you won't understand much :)
just search in the international support and if you don't find your question there feel free to ask
-
Ok..I noticed the waypoint for the hive while in the rouge camp...I took it...Hive is awsome...found the trapdoor to the crypt..its awsome...beautiful..lots of evil forces...but um...what are they for..and what do I do..and can I kill anything...loot anything...does Diablo's big brother jump out and call me a small mortal hand me a jar of lube and rape me or anything?? Like..whats the point..other than the amazingly kick ass way its done.
-
Ok..I noticed the waypoint for the hive while in the rouge camp...I took it...Hive is awsome...found the trapdoor to the crypt..its awsome...beautiful...does Diablo's big brother jump out and call me a small mortal hand me a jar of lube
There is no lube.
Crypt and Hive are test areas. They currently aren't part of the field of play.
For example, the portal to the Hive opens only in Normal mode, but the monsters there are all NM difficulty. It's best to basically ignore it until we're told that the Hive is where ...
...and there is no lube...
-
Ok..Little feedback and a question here..As for the Hive/Crypt...Add some lube and maybe make that place a boss ground..like, have All the act bosses and unuique monsters and the Diablo clone and all there..like just for MF purpouses. My question..Where is the best place to get Books of Wisdome? Is it just Diablo clone that drops them? What drops them and what are the best way to get them?
-
putting all these monsters there would cause nearly every player to do only hive runs... the clone was in the cow lvl some versions ago and was removed just for that reason
to get BoWs is not very easy
you can find them at chimera, damien, butcher, leoric (i think), envy, the ancients, and of course the diablo clone
the best way is some luck or to get 7 character dolls and cube 3 BoW :)
-
Ok...what char dolls do you need to make th BoWs? Please don't flame me for the noob question..lol.
Ok..I am looking in the international forums and am coming up with ALOT of questions. Keep in mind I am a VERY linier player and don't veer off the path to much..lol..plus I am sure that some of these things will be answered as I get deeper into the mod but I am curious now. Ok..#1 What and where is the 16 lvl dungeon that you get the black key from? #2 Who are the seven and where do I find them? #3 Are diablo clone and ancient diablo the same thing or 2 differant things? And where are they both found if they are differant things? #4 Is there a post or list..in english of all the current cube reciepes? #5 Add Uber Diablo to the list of Diablos and are they all teh same? lol. #6 What is a GubbelGubbel and where do I get it and what does it do? I think I covered them all for today..lol. I just want to say thank you got all being patient with me and helping me.

#1
The Dungeon is a new area in ChaosEmpire. The entrance can be found when you meet Nilathak in act 5.
#2
The Seven is a new area, too, The entrance can be found within the town of act 5, between Larzuk and Anja.
#3
No they are different.
You can find the Diablo Clone at the 3 lavacaves of act 5, just take the portals - he can be in one of these 3 caves, but sometimes he isn´t in the game at all.
The Ancient Diablo is in the last level of the Dungeon (see above).
#4
All cube recipes can be found in the Wiki, just follow the link in my signature.
#5
I think you mean the WorldEvent Diablo Clone, it´s like in normal LoD, you can sell Stones of Jorden (only the +1 Version) to merchants and sometimes it comes a message "Diablo walks on earth" - go to a superunique Boss in Hell and you meet him.
#6
A GubbelGubbel is a item, like the book of wisdom, which gives your Character Experience when you eat him (right click), but the Experience is lower than a book of wisdom, i think 2,5 Mio. Experience. He can be dropped by all enemies with a high monsterlevel.
Last but not least, please use the search function, and read the sticky thread called Welcome. Many of your questions has been answered in the past. ;)
-
#5 the soj with +2 skills has been removed, as far as i remember...
-
Thanks for the info. I am curious..I took a look at the 16 lvl dungeon and I am wondering if YOUR SERIOUS?? That place makes Hell look like a cruise stop on the way to Cancun...wtf? Is there a way to fight through there and live or is it just if you have the patients enough to fight your way down while trying to find your last corpse?? lol..I mean..wow...that place is like walmart the day after thanksgiving..Anyone have Any advice on that place?? And also..Chimera seems to have a bug where he gets caught in the wall and doesn't drop...I am sure you know this but I just found it..thought I would just say.
Oh yeah...Where is writs leg?? lol
-
Wirrets Legs is still in Tristram, but you must search. His body has moved, it was to cold on the open ground. ;)
-

Well, it sounds like you found the right place.
Is there a way to fight through there and live or is it just if you have the patience enough to fight your way down while trying to find your last corpse??
Try Hard Core, then this "last corpse" problem doesn't exist.
Anyone have Any advice on that place??
1: Teamwork allows you and companions to lay down more fire power per unit time; while the monsters are tougher at higher player levels the game starts at players=13, and the 13->14 change is not as large as the increase in firepower of having two players working together.
2: look over your gear with a very critical eye towards how much smack-down you can put out per unit of time, and how much hurt you can handle. At the expense of kill-power I have 92/92/92/21 resists in Hell. I run away a great deal, knowing that usually only some of my enemy will follow, allowing me to kill them in sections. Look over your skills for powers that divide your enemies or hinder their attacks (Cloak of Shadows, Grim Ward, Taunt, Decoy, Confusion, Dim Vision, War Cry, etc)
Chimera seems to have a bug where he gets caught in the wall and doesn't drop...
I am sure you know this but I just found it..thought I would just say.
Chimera is a double-bugged situation; hiding in the corner and using corpse explosion.
Oh yeah...Where is writs leg?? lol
Attached to his corpse, like always. His corpse has been moved to inside a building with the door faicing the fountain.

Ok...Few more questions. And sorry for being gone for a week or so. Hurricane Rita hit my town and we are just getting back to some faction of normal. #1 Can you runeword uniques, rares, set items, magic items etc. #2 How do I get the 7 char dolls? #3 How do I get a Suiside Minion Doll? Thanks for the help.
-
you can runeword tempered, rare, magic and normal items, NO Set and uniques.
You can get chardolls from the a4 hellforge quest. you get a suicide minion from the a5/q2 or if you put 25 runes in the cube,
-
Hopefully you are ok, and not to much damage caused by rita..
-
Thanks Chaos...it wasn't to bad..it moved East before it really hit us so it was alot better than we planned for. Just so you can brag..I took my comp to my EX-girlfriends apt because she had power and I wasn't going to go a week or more without playing the mod. LOL I am curious..I tried to find an answer to this in the international forum but didn't really. It says mercs in higher diffaculty lvls will have more skills and stuff. What skills will they have? And if I get a merc in norm and keep it all the way to hell will he get the same skills as he lvls up as one I get in nightmare or hell? I would LOVE some specifics on this one...the info I found is kinda confusing.
-
Rouges and Iron Wolves definately also use the higher skills when hired at normal difficulty.
The Rouge's higher special arrows might not show up correctly in lower difficulties, though. In other words, no ice cloud, no explosion and no visible fire on the ground. However, the damage is there and you might hear the burning sound when monsters walk through the (invisible) immolation arrow fire.

Hey..I see a new version is out..or coming out. I read the post about whats in it..I like the idea of oil barrels. But I can't find a link to it on the site..and sence everyones reply was in german I have no clue what was said..LOL. Would love a link to this..and maybe some info on the uniques that were changed..;)..A little insider info if you will..lol. But the link I really want..Plus I am curious if you have desided what you were going to do with the test ground..the crypt or whatever it is. I would LOVE to see a MF spot..like..one that has all the act bosses and mobs like that. Just pure MF heaven..lol...The shared stash makes MFing a passion now more than a job. And I am not sure what MOD it was on..maybe an old version of yours...but it had books that would grant the owner whatever aura was on there. Like a charm..you could combine more than one in the cube to make the lvl of the aura stronger..like..a Fanatasizim book/scroll combined with another Fanatasizim book/scoll would give you a book that gave you a lvl 2 fanatasizim book that worked like a charm. It was great for Barbs and what not. I thought it was a really good idea. I knew you were looking into doing something with the scroll that drop in the game..thought that might be a cool idea. Anyway...can't wait for the new update.

I am curious of something. I have always wanted to build a mod of my own for my own use, but I know NOTHING of modding or anything it takes to mod. I am not a computer retard either but I am just ignorant of modding. Does anyone know of a site or sites or something that give VERY SIMPLE beginner type walkthroughs. When I say simple..I mean simple..lol..and very detailed. If someone could post some links or something I would love it. And I amjust wanting to Mod D2 LOD 1.10 or 1.11. Nothing else..so if you can find some that deal with D2 and nothing else it might make it easier for me. Thanks.

Thanks Drow. Hey Drow...do you know whats up with the new version of the mod? I can't find a link to it here on the site. And I am about to ask a question that might be a sinfull one for Modders...there are differant features from differant mods I am thinking of putting in the mod I want to try to make. I have NO intention of sharing this mod because I know modders are like owners when it comes to thier mods and don't want to have others use thier ideas and then share that mod. But if doable..how do I find out how someone did something in thier mod that I like and take it and use it in mine??? Like say the shared stash or the monster body parts Chaos uses..If this is a no no in the the world of modding let know..lol.
-
You can find many of those informations at the phrozenkeep, this is a platform where modders help other modders.
Nearly all versions of ChaosEmpire you can find in the download section, just enter about the link: www.chaosempire.info and then click on the right side of the menu on downloads. ;)

- Shared Stash is part of PlugY
- BodyParts are already implemented in D2, see misc.txt
