The 'missing' bosses/monsters

[Sheriff of Nothing]

The mod I wrote will only work for 1.09. I'm still not sure why it won't work for you, as it works fine for me.



For now, you can see the missing monsters (but not unique monsters), by using the patch I created in 2002. This doesn't restore the monsters to their correct dlvls, but instead puts them on dlvl 1 while turning off the regular monsters that appear on that dlvl.

edit: I just read your post properly I see you said that you can't get anything to work with DHack. What are the error messages you get?

Dhack seems to be up and running for me now. I think the problem lay when I copied the Diablo directory in order to have 2 installs (1.07 and 1.09). The patches seem only to install on the first install and because I copied an unpatched folder, the second install remained as Diablo 1.00 when I tried to run Dhack.

Needless to say I now copy the original install only after updating to 1.07 (and then update the original to 1.09).

Anyway, both parts of your dat file are now active, though the one for 'monster types' appeared as active without me doing anything. I have yet to come across any different monster types, but the uniques are there, and no problems at all. I've only put in a couple of hours yet though.

I am assuming the file will work for both single and multi play?

Thanks again for all your help and concerns and I'll give it a few more days play to see whether the other 'monster types' appear and if there are any problems. Looks good so far though!
