Hello everyone, I have just recently gotten very bored of Diablo 2 / LoD and have been thinking "what if" I could do this and that, sooo I did a little searching and I'm here.

What I would really like to know is, is it possible for me to make new skills? Or edit existing skills and name them what I like / change them to do pretty much what I like.

Also, I would like to know if I can make a new class, or change an existing class to exactly what I want (new skills, new name, some abilities, etc).

Last but not least, if I can't do either of the above (or even if I can) how would I go about giving the Barbarians ability to use 2 weapons at once, to another class. I would very much like to equip my paladin with two weapons.

Thank you all!! Hopefully you can help me out, if not I'm sure I will have a new list of questions soon.

A certain amount of what you want to do is possible, much of it requiring hex editing of DLLs. Some of what you ask might be possible but we haven't learned how yet. Some of what you ask is probably impossible without extensive code rewrite.

Use the search function and you'll find many discussions about your areas of interest.

I would do just that, but I typed this post after I looked through every single page of other peoples posts on this board so it would be pointless 8).

Does anyone know how I may go about doing any of this please?

yo pal,

i'mnew to and i started at this site, www.planetdiablo.com/phrozenkeep
here you find everything about mod-making, also some tutorials for beginners.
first lesson is to make the necro teeth into ice bolts, so i think that's what u want?

by the way, changing skills is possible, but not big changes.
little changes can be made by editing .txt files, if you want big changes, then you need to edit .dll files (much more difficult i guess)

hope it helps ya, just look at the tutorials like i did, and learn

Ok thanks...the only thing I can't find now is how I might go about giving other classes the ability to use 2 weapons at once like a barbarian...does anyone possibly know where I can start on that?

Never messed with that, but I really think the barbarian ability to use 2 weapons at once is hardcoded (ie would require .dll editing). Even if you somehow manage to do that, there is still the problem with the character animations; the barbarian is the only class that have specific character animations for dual wielding (except for the claw assassin of course). So, dual wield on other character would not look right (much like the barbarian test character in back Hellfire, you could use two weapons but you saw your character wielding only one in the game).

So it may be possible, but would require a lot of animation work
