D2R (Diablo 2 Resurrected) TCP-IP Mod

[Adephx]

I've been working for a while on a TCP-IP Mod for D2R that extends the Alpha Client functionalities to Act 3, 4 and 5. Sadly it is impossible to incorporate new features, such as quick keys without a massive overhaul of the client. Progress is slow, so if anyone has experience in decoding binary structures or fixing vfx & models, give me a PM on Discord (I use the same name).


I've also prepared a secondary "fully" functional lightweight client, that can essentially be used as LAN server.

Nice!

Looking forward to this, hope you can make it work.

That would be awesome!

Any progress made since July? Anything I could do to help with the development?

Was searching for D2R server and stumped on this topics. Yeah looks like a lot of reversed engineering needed for the alpha clients to the full version but if you have the dedication, you'll probably can do it.

I read the statement differently. You seem to interpret their mention of the original game client as a statement of mods only working on the original client. And they probably only do work on the existing original game client, because they were written for it. But I think they are nodding towards being able to create new ones for the new version of the game. I think they are just mentioning that the original game client still exists because (as far as I know) the original WC3 game client was removed during the WC3:r debacle. I think they're just mentioning that the original D2 client remains in case people want to keep playing old mods like the current PD2, for example. They do mention being able to modify the D2:R game files.

Nah u totally don't know how this work. We've been through with the original D2R operated by new blizzard.
