Is it possible to take a spell (say a Sorceress or Druidic Elemental spell) and turn it into a skill which summons a creature? I am guessing not at all, but thought I'd check.

Probably not...but apparently .dll editing will allow you to shift skills between characters. Doing that, you could move a druid or necro summoning skill to a sorc or something.

I don't know squat about .dll editing though. Might be something on this in the Code Editing Forum.

For my latest mod (for LoD/expansion), download at http://www.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?/planetdiablo/phrozenkeep/mods/sic_beta.zip - Or for old stuff (for classic D2), visit my orignal mod site at www.planetdiablo.com/sanctuary

You can do that, provided that the creature you want to summon already exists as a skill in a character.

Do a search in the Code Editing forum for the dll editing tutorial part 4, where Foxbat and Jarulf discuss the subject of skill replacing.

The whole idea there is skill swapping, but I have tested it and skill replacing works just fine, provided that you understand some limitations that appear to exist.

Good Luck

[EDIT]
The offsets reported there is for LOD v1.09-v1.09b

The offsets are very easy to convert if you have both versions of the dlls and compare them, or you could even simply use the 1.09b dlls instead of the 1.09c ones.

I would post the updated offsets, but there seems to be something wrong with the assassin offsets in D2Client.dll, and when I try to move skills to or from the assassin I get either a weird sound effect and no gfx or just no effects at all.

To get chain lightning on Psychic Hammer requires moving them more than a few bits

Never mind. Mindblast on the necro works fine without gfx.
