3: It seems like u cant add monsters to all areas, bloody hills seems to be one of those.
If u scroll to the very right in levels.txt u can see all the names of the levels as they appear in the game.

The first area of act5 seems to be hardcoded. you can delete all monster-ids from levels.txt and nevertheless the monsters will be there. So i think the monsters are placed in the ds1-files.

In the other areas are hardcoded monsterplaces too, because only the imps can use the barricades/infernotowers. I think only 60%of the monsterplaces of the "openair-areas" read out the ids from the levelstxt. The underground-levels are friendlier.

If i'm wrong please correct me.

But did Blizzard not take out the imps in BF during development? So at one point they actually *had* imps there?

Column. Not 'collum.' Despite the USA's failed crusade for "simplistic spellings" you can't just spell things foneticlee.

As for transperant items, it only works for ethereal items. It's an effect that Diablo II adds on it's own, and couldn't be achieved even if you had PSP/PS.

If you want to do item graphics, please get yourself a copy of something better than paint...

quick solution: pictures -> *.bmp, background pure black (0,0,0) use dc6maker2.1 for bmp -> dc6.
Don't know how to do it with dc6con.

Have fun.

Go to the Plug-Ins section of the Keep at our home page, at:

www.planetdiablo.com/phrozenkeep

There is a Diablo 1 item pack, and there is a large item pack from Stargazer that has a number of D1 items. If they aren't already in .dc6 format (and I think some of them might be), you just need to download dc6con to covert them over from .pcx. Just remember to use the -transcol 0 tag when you convert them.

P.S. For those who don't have access to decent programs and are trying to use Paint...I would suggest that you use MS Photo Editor instead if it's on your system. It's primitive...but I've been able to do a lot with gfx editing using that program...though I'm still aiming at getting something better soon.
