Well, I've finally got around to doing it. That's right - I'm beginning to convert my 1.07 mod for Diablo to 1.09. So far, I've only implemented a few very basic changes, and many of the changes in 1.07 will have to wait some time (as 1.07 and 1.09 are very different in many aspects), but a good portion of the changes can be ported over. It will just take a lot of time and hex editing (now that I have a Free / Open Source hex editor, since my trial version of Hex Workshop expired and I didn't want to pay $49.95 for a license). But, so far so good. :D
Hopefully this mod will see more use than the old 1.07 version, since this mod will be 1.09 compatible (which, IIRC, with a Data File you can play via Battle.Net). If I can find out the code changes in 1.09 for the Shared Experience block, I definitely think this mod will be used more. :) At least, that's MY favorite change. ;)
Don't expect any updates soon (as I'm currently looking for work, have a g/f, and am shooting to pass my A+ exam by the end of February), but know that work has begun, and like all my projects, will continue until I tire of it (which never seems to happen, no matter how long the project may lay "dormant" ;)).
Until then, enjoy this little teaser. :D
