Damn that's cool, hope to see some cool stuff come from that

>>4856975
Like with eduke32 or with the dozen or so source ports for doom and quake, devilution once completed can be used as a base for all kinds of mods or new games. I'm pretty excited for what will happen with this.

>>4856996
That's what I'm hoping for. A new golden era of Diablo would be amazing. After seeing all the things that could be done to d2 in the median mod I bet we'll see some pretty cool shit with this.

>>4856996
>dozen
There are literally hundreds of source ports by this point.

>>4856830
The game is a mess because it's partial compiled in assembly, because when the project started, it's creators only knew assembly language.
They later learned, I think it was C, and kinda merged the two into a working mishmash of awesome.

Take this to your cancer general

>>4857392
>C
It's C++ actually

>>4856830
Not even a huge Diablo fan, but that's pretty amazing that they could do that. Thanks for the news, OP.

>>4857401

is it possible to achieve smooth scrolling in diablo without using that bullshit mod that changes everything?

Too bad this thing doesn't alter the fps because 20fps induces a horrible stutter.

>>4857401
no u

>>4856830
Pretty cool. I think I have an original copy of the game laying around somewhere. Going to check this out.

pretty fucking awesome

>>4856830
whats the potential with this done?

new modes, campaigns and custom content and such?

>>4858026
Any mods you could think of.

>>4858026
>whats the potential with this done?
Literally anything that your imagination can think up. Modding will be so much easier now.

Only thing I'd look forward to is more modern OS support. Other than that I think people will just Diablo 2'fy the original Diablo 1, which seems like what a few other mods for Diablo 1 do.

>>4858062
>Only thing I'd look forward to is more modern OS support.
Yeah, same here. Also very interested in vanilla multiplayer being possible with relative ease, hopefully. Missed out on all that when the game was current.

>>4858062
>>4858074
This can be a great chance to bring back interest in diablo and even a new modding scene

>>4858062
diablo already runs fine on windows 10 with no modification

>>4858080
I installed it to-day, you need a need video DLL to make it function, and it's still pretty shaky.
>>4858074
D1 was a fucking blast when the multiplayer wasn't a huge cheat-fest, and even I played it at the tail-end. I always preferred its simplicity and dungeon crawling over D2.

>>4858104
huh? So did I. Works fine even without the latest patch.

>>4858107
I had a lot of graphical issues in the menus. The game appeared to run OK, though not optimized for widescreen, obviously.

Which was for all of about a week before everyone was running around duping items, a bug that blizzard never, ever fixed.

Which can be now

>>4858080
Windows 10 is not a modern OS.

>>4858364
This. W7 is more modern than W10.

>>4858364
>>4858430
t. poorfags that can't afford an SSD

>>4858431
And an SSD stops W10 from datamining you and sending random screenshots to MS how exactly? Please, enlighten me on how a SSD makes the platform more private and user orientated.

>>4858431
I don't even have a internal HDD any more.

>>4858437
lmao as if you don't make all this shit public anyway by using any modern browser

>>4858430
w7 requires you to kill explorer.exe before running diablo or you get fucked colors.

>>4858446
Not on my machine it doesn't.

>>4858447
lol nice try.

>>4858445
Nice try, FBI.
Go away, CIA.
Arrivederci, NSA.
Head for the sticks, MI6.
Take a fall, INTERPOL.
Don't think too hard, Scotland Yard.
We don't want you, GRU.
You did your best, IAS.

>>4858452
I'm telling you, it boots fine. Hellfire shits the bed but if you get D1 off https://www.myabandonware.com/game/diablo-3it it works fine with the patches installed and some compatibility fuckery.

>>4858114
Top D1 mods already fixed that.
Also there are unofficial patches for D1/hellfire that does the same thing.

>>4858062
>I think people will just Diablo 2'fy the original Diablo 1, which seems like what a few other mods for Diablo 1 do

this, instead of embracing the crudeness of D1 game design they just slap QOL fixes until it becomes unrecognizable from other hacky whacky games

my biggest hope is The Hell author moves his codebase over to devilution source code and it's gonna really become a Median XL of Diablo1

Devilution is to be strictly vanilla but he did announce a side project which may do what you want.

SAGE

>>4858830
shouldn't you be running nm lk?

>>4858831
He can't, he's stuck at normal ancients.

>>4858831

>not even me who btfo'd him this time

I'm proud.

>>4858431
You can get far more for less with an HDD than SSD

>>4859086
Yeah, all those GB are really going to speed your computer up.

My only issue with D1 is that it just kind of ends once you defeat Diablo, and Nightmare/Hell difficulties are meant for multiplayer. Since I've beaten it with all the classes once, there's not really much of a draw to go back to it again without post-game content. I guess I should try something like Ironman.

PLEASE, LISTEN TO ME.

AVENGE US! FIND THIS BUTCHER AND SLAY HIM, SO THAT OUR SOULS MAY FINALLY REST.

did I get it right

>>4858446

Even if that's true, what the fuck does running a game from the 90s have to do with whether an OS is modern?

I just hope I can use Windows 7 forever, to be honest. It's much more stable than XP, still has a good compatibility with older software with some tweaking, and just werks. They turned it into bloatware since then.
