New Realm for D1ing

[NotSoDarklord]

Sorry if this post is in the wrong forum or considered spamming, but to those of you who know me I was a DSFer, and am now struggling to get any sort of quality gaming in. A new realm has gone up, hosted by Zedd (not Dr.) at diablostrategy.no-ip.org.
This realm supports D1 (both 1.07 and 1.09) as well as starcraft. The realm is a place to get together, and particularly useful as Kali has gone completely payforplay, making most mods hard to play as multiplayer. Post any quesitons/comments here, but the realm is up and running as we speak, just waiting for some gaming.


personal note to Lemmy: You better still have your ME chars, because I expect at least 5 solid hours of middle earth gaming :)

[ack, messed up :P]

For the record, this should probably still be considered 'experimental', simply because I'm sure theres ->insert issue<- that I haven't tested for yet. However, in general, this should be all set. :)

D2 should be able to connect, but on Open Only. The machine this is running on isn't nearly powerful enough to handle that part of things ;)

And if you just want to chat, Diablo Strategy Chat is the hangout. Telnet is accessible, but you need to create an account with a real client first. Once you've done that, just open up a command prompt, and telnet to diablostrategy.no-ip.org.

telnet://diablostrategy.no-ip.org:4545


Or, if that link doesn't work for you, just open a command prompt and type:

Code:

telnet diablostrategy.no-ip.org 4545

Just enter your username, pass, then /join Diablo Strategy Chat . If you get a login error, try changing the capitalization (seems finicky about that).

I also have the possibility of running an IRC server for this, but I'll leave that off unless enough people want it (I don't know if I like the idea of running an experimental IRC server ).

Finally, software to connect --

ftp://diablostrategy.no-ip.org

In there, there's 3 programs --

BNSv1103 is for versions 1.07 and lower.
BnetGCfg is for all versions 1.08 and above.

There's also the Blizzard provided GateSel, which I haven't tried, but should work for the more recent versions as well.

Of course, there's also the registry editing method... NSD seems more on the ball with that than I am.

You're all welcome to join on, say 'hi', get some games in. It's relatively quiet on there for now, maybe you can liven up the place ;)

Is this for Diablo 2 only or can Diablo 1 connect. If they can how?

[Bido]

This realm supports D1 (both 1.07 and 1.09) as well as starcraft

So it must support D1 then eh?

[Zedd]

It's primarily for Diablo 1 :)

For 1.09, download BnetGCfg from ftp://diablostrategy.no-ip.org/ and add "diablostrategy.no-ip.org" as a new realm.


BNSv1103 is for versions 1.07 and lower, but accomplishes pretty much the same thing :)

Erised, please simply read the previous posts. Both of your questions have already been answered.
