Okay, many people have started converting D1 monsters to D2(thanks to Nefarius, Incandescent One and FoxBat). Hopefully I can learn to do the same. Now, has anyone tried converting a D1 missile to D2? How would this work, does it work the same way as converting a D1 monster to D2? For example, anyone tried converting the Apocalypse spell or the acid from Acid Beasts? Is this possible?

Hey apocalypse, i can't see why it wouldn't work, i just took a look, instead of having one anim with 8,16 or 32 directions, the missiles seem to have a different .cl2 file for each direction, holy bolt has 16 .cl2 files, one for each direction (it'd just mean saving the frames as .gifs & reassembling them all into the one .dcc file) I've got two things to finish & then i'll give it a go, see what happens

Just wondering... if it would be possible to replace holy fire's little fire blasts by big apoc bursts, hex-edit the skill to the sorc, set it as a castable skill et voila! Apoc!  ------------------ To practice the Arts of Modding is to be Damned. To master Them is to be Victorious. -D1 manual

hex editing skills means switching skills already found in skills.txt, all of those skills function after base AI params which may be softcoded and/or hardcoded. addingn totally new skills would mean creating totally new AIs, and since no one ever saw the true sourcecode of d2 it is very hard and amost impossibly to do it with what is know about the base sorucecode until now. you can however cange a skill like static to load the Apocalypse blast as a overlay and change it to fire dmg etc.------------------ Ňëƒąřİű§ Official Modding since v1.02!!!
