Public Alpha 0.1.0 - 11/10/2019

===

Gameplay Changes:

Most inventory graphics are now changed into something new. Some items are also resized.

Inventory size is dramatically increased, as well as

Armor scaling with Strength & Defense is now linear. Belts, Gloves, Rings and Amulets can now have sockets.

Class only armors have objectively best Defense & Block Chance in their respective slot.

Sockets scale between 2-6, depending on the base. Two handed weapons can gain 6, while 1 handed weapons & shields have a max of 3.

Characters start with 5 attributes and 1 skill point to spend.

Each class has increased life, life per level, life per vitality, and mana regeneration.

Each class now starts with an additional set of potions, repair stones, a hint item, and an item to create an Enchanted Blade. In addition, their gear is now cracked, but all your items can be sold at full value instead of 1 gold.

Nearly all cube recipes, apart from the Cow Level & Quest recipes, have been disabled. Cube recipes are only performed with items that explicitly state what they do. No more hidden recipes or looking at documentation to do important tasks.

Respeccing is implimented! Akara will not give you free respecs upon Den of Evil completion. Her, and other magi vendors will sell a Book of Cain for 500k gold.

Increased the maximum amount of items that an enemy can drop.

Increase the amount of items displayed for sale from gambling.

Shift-Clicking will instead only spend 5 points into your attributes instead of all of your points.

All items cost 100k gold to gamble, and almost all item bases can be gambled. This will change later.

Classic characters can no longer be created. The mod is only compatible with Expansion characters.

Item level is now displayed on all items.

Fixed the game spawning monsters as bosses from the normall difficulty list if you are in Nightmare or Hell.

Deckard Cain will now always charge 100 gold for identifying items. Sanctuary doesen't have medical insurance anymore :(

All item rarities can have Auto-Magics spawned on them, such as increased life from Eagle Orbs. This does not apply to the random increased skill levels from applicable items however.

Telekenisis takes all item types now, behaving like it did in 1.09 and previous patches.

You can now see how much damage you deal & take when fighting monsters.

Rescuing Deckard Cain, Returning the Gidbin & Returning Lam Essen's Tome yield better rewards. More quests will be improved later.

Experience gain from killing a monster is no longer dramatically decreased when you're level 70 or higher.

Mercenaries are improved with potent stats and modified abilities. They will be dramatically changed later.

Old enemies now have new abilities to fight you, as well as brand new enemies.

Various modifications to area density, minimum distance for enemies to spawn, and where enemies spawn.

Necromancer is entirely rebalanced, with a complete set of runewords, sets & uniques dedicated for him. These are subject to wild changes overtime.

Over 140 uniques, 17 sets with 90+ set items, and 16+ runewords. All previous items, except for Ancients pledge and a few others, can no longer be found.

Magic & Rare affixes are completely redone, focusing on consistensy and tiers of affixes. You can no longer find terible low level affixes on high level items.

Charms can now be rare. Affixes for charms and rares will be redone entirely at a later date.

A batch of items from Path of Exile have entered the realm of sanctuary! Such as currencies, item bases, and uniques.

Lightning Enchanted, Cold Enchanted, Fire Enchanted & Mana Burn are disabled due to their lethal bugs.

Item drops are more consistent with enemies, but overall drop less items. Less is more. Overtime, enemies may come with loot exclusive to specific types and archtypes.

===

Backend Changes:

Uses v1.10 of Diablo.

Using D2Mod system and various plugins, including the following:

StatFix, CustomTbl, NewTxt, D2NewStats.
These are pre-requisites to use other plugins.

CharStart
Enables the ability for characters to gain attributes & skill points at the start of the game.

DmgDisplay
Causes numbers to appear and singal how much damage has been dealt and received.

Fixed a bug that caused Burn Damage to not grant experience.

Fixed various bugs that cause SrvDoFunc 49, the same function used by Shadow Master, to only read it's aurastat and passivestat intergers from field to. In addition, these fields are now properly read when skills using this function are at Skill level 1.

A screenshot folder is found in the Paradox folder, screenshots will be sent there instead of the plugin's main folder.

The game takes less CPU to run than it needs to now.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Public Alpha 0.1.1 - 11/12/2019

Removed Consecrated and co. flasks from the Ammo TC.

Fixed Countess' 2nd Form not having correct resistances.

Fixed a missing string from the Familiar on the character screen

The level-scaling mechanic is now hard point based. An accurate description of how the mechanic works is now found on the skill description of each skill. This is currently not applied to summons, as I'm testing how well they work currenctly.

Decreased the damage of the Divine Water and Seraph's flask (due to an overflow) but increase it's base burn damage to compensate.

Added a note in the readme about setting up D2SE on Windows 10

Fixed Gemcutter's Prism only giving one Gem when it should give 3

Blacksmith's Oil are now sold by Blacksmiths. Combine this with a low quality item to create a Horadric Repair Stone.

Improved the AI of the Skeleton Mage enemies, and Fetish Shamans. They are much more aggressive and spammy with their attacks now.

Added the Wider Maggot Lair plugin. Summoners can rest easy now

You can now upgrade runes again. All runes cost 3 to upgrade, no gems needed.

Orb of Scouring now needs 3 items to generate a new currency instead of 6. This was done mainly because you still have limited space in the cube.

Increased the poison damage of the Maggot mother's spit attack, but removed it's physical damage component.

Petrify, Slow and Shocked afflictions are now removed when talking to an npc that can heal you.

Lowered the cost of Holy Water by 200 gold.

Steadfast Potions are disabled. Antidote potions now remove slow in addition to removing poison.

Adjusted the currency droprates, allowing a larger variety of them to drop in the early to midgame.

Lowered the pack size of all Corrupt Rogues to 2

Improved the AI of the Corrupt Rogue archers & quill bears to prevent them from going on a loop between approaching and running away.

Mercenaries only need 1 xp per level to levelup, making it quick and easy for them to catchup to you.

Horizon Orbs are now removed.

Fixed Fetish Shamans using a lower level fire skill than intended. They will now deal noticeably more damage as a result.

Orb of Scouring no longer incorrectly states that it cannot be used on corrupted items.

Enemies that inflict Burning, Shocked, Petrify and Slow have been buffed to compensate for the new immunity mechanic*;

The Magma Orb, used by Fallen Shaman, Hellhounds, Fire Towers, Gargoyle Traps & Arcane Towers now deals the monster's base damage and increases in speed as it gains in levels.

The Petrify Spell, used by Gorgons, deals additional magic damage, and the monster's base damage, and increases in speed as it gains in levels.

The Shocking Projectile, used by Beetles, Storm Lords and Finger Mages, now deals the monster's base damage.

Quill Bears & Swarms have increased attack rating.

Swarms no longer drain stamina.

*Note that I wanted to create an additional way to mitigate the effects of afflictions but my initial idea unfortunately does not work. I'll be looking into trying to find another method in the future. These buffs will remain in the meantime.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Public Alpha 0.1.2 03/19/2020

I would like to put forth immediately that I am immensely sorry for the incredibly long wait time for an update that should not of taken this long. I ran into several roadblocks, including losing my backups due to a HDD corruption, and my own stupidity. I had to redo most of this patch again from scratch, luckily I note down everything I want to change first before changing. These patch notes may be vague in a few areas because I don’t have a backup as a point of reference, as well as it being so long that I forgot various specific details.

===

Everyone now bleeds black. The Health Globe is now Black, and the Mana Globe is now Dark Purple. Potions are changed in color to reflect this.

The mod now uses the Dreamlands plugin, which allows us to do several new things which are otherwise difficult to do. It is not being taken full advantage of yet, but expect some cool new things in the next patch! It will bring it’s fair share of new bugs, so be sure to report issues immediately!

Previous characters are not compatible with 0.1.2, you will need to create a new character.

Added some extra elaboration to the hint starting item.

The damage numbers are currently not working, unsure if it will return due to possible compatibility issues.

Included a few brand new shrines to give a taste for what will come in the future, much more shrines will be added in the next major update.

General

Cold, Freezing and Curses are reduced to 33% duration in Hell, increased from 25%

All(reworked class & oskill) spells now deal additional damage based on 25% of your total energy.  However, hard point levelling has decreased. The formula is now
“Increases damage by ((10% * Character Level) / (22 - Base Skill level)) + (Energy / 4)” for most skills. Some skills may instead use Strength, Dexterity, or even Vitality.

Decreased enemy resistance stats on items, aka pierce, now works against immune enemies.

Mark for Death no longer appears on traps

[WIP Feature*]The mod now has an additional ‘global’ treasure class for monsters. Items dropped from this global treasure class do not interfere with the basegame drops. Potions, utility items and small gold piles drop from this treasure class. The chance for no item to drop has been increased to compensate for the missing items in the base treasure class.[*For now this is disabled, junk items will drop normally]

The class descriptions in character selection now state if a class has been reworked or not.

Added a notification for fellow cheaters whether or not a skill they ‘find’ is legitimate or not. This will also help for skills that lack any skill icon. You’re welcome

Necromancer changes:

Curses:

[todo: need desc]Wither: It additionally lowers target poison resistance. Uses Terror’s overlay instead of Iron Maiden’s.

Iron Maiden: Level 12. Apply a debuff to target self or ally. The target has 0 defense, but deals flat thorns damage to melee attackers. Effective with summons.

Poison and Bone:

Teeth Removed, replaced with Venom Bolt. Required level 1. - Single venom bolt that deals a large amount of damage, but not nearly as much as a poison weapon.

Poison Weapon required level 6 again. Requires Venom Bolt. Greatly increased attack rating.

Bone Spirit is now a level 6 skill, base damage and mana reduced to compensate but gains it's damage back at higher levels.

Bone Spear mana cost lowered to 12

Corpse explosion is now level 12, base damage increased, mana cost lowered to 30.

Poison Explosion now uses your weapon swing animation, and deals 50% of your weapon damage.

Bone Armor now additionally grants 10% +2% per slvl physical resist, and gains significantly more absorption. In addition, it benefits from base skill levels and points into vitality.

Stygian Armor: Replaces Bone Nova. While the passive is active, you gain defense, life, and poison pierce. However while this buff is active, you cannot use ranged attack skills or summons.

Poison Nova mana cost lowered to 19

Improved the life and defense of Bone Wall. Note that it gains significantly more in nightmare and hell. Also fixed a bug that caused it to have inaccurate health displayed.

Sorceress Overhaul:

Offensive Skills:

Skystrike - Call a Meteor from the sky that lands after one second, it leaves no patch of fire. Has no cooldown.

Firewall - Same as before. However you can lower its cooldown with skill points, and further reduce it with Cooldown Reduction found on circlets

Hydra - Hydras can now benefit from auras and buffs, including Burning Weapon!

Charged Bolt - Same as before

Fire Nova - Identical to Nova.

[Minor Issue*]Ice Storm - A much faster falling blizzard but with a small AoE, great for single target. Does not chill. Starts with a cooldown but decreases to 0 when invested enough.[*Cooldown does not correctly state that it reaches 0 cooldown. The skill will be modified to compensate in the following update.]

Storm Blade - An AoE attack that uses your melee weapon, converting 50% of your physical damage to lightning.

Eye of the Storm - A buff that gives you lightning pierce, increased life,  defense and energy shield efficiency, but restricts all your ranged attacks from being casted, forcing you to stay in melee for a few seconds

Frozen Orb - Same as before. Cooldown does not decrease with skill levels but can still be lowered with items.

Ice Blast - Only hits one target, does not freeze and has slow cast speed, but has quite a lot of damage. In a future update, you can find an item to let it bounce to additional targets.

Enchantments

Enchantments are a form of buffs that you can either apply only to yourself, or on an ally. Enchantments may also be restricted, depending on which one you pick.

Warmth - Now an Active Skill that grants life and mana regeneration. Overwrites Thunderstorm. Can be casted on yourself or allies.

Thunderstorm - The lightning bolts now knocks back enemies. The skill also lists it’s fire rate as it is improved with skill levels. Overwrites Warmth. Can only be casted on yourself.

Burning Armor - Self only. Deals fire damage and fears melee attackers. Overwrites Freezing Armor.

Frozen Armor - Self only. Shoots freezing projectiles at ranged attackers. Overwrites Burning Armor.

Energy Shield - Linear scaling. Putting hard points gives it the benefit of Telekinesis' efficiency. Can be used with any other enchantment. Self only.

Overcharge - Area of effect buff (similar to Battle Orders). Increases movement speed and cast speed of affected friendly units, but decreases their mana. !INVESTING POINTS INTO THIS SKILL WILL WEAKEN ENERGY SHIELD!

[Minor Issue*]Shocking Weapon - Self only buff. Adds lightning damage to weapon attacks, and damages enemy defense. Overwrites Freezing Weapon. [Skill icon has a graphical bug. Will be replaced in the future.]

[Minor Issue*]Freezing Weapon - Self only buff. Adds cold damage to weapon attacks, and freezes foes. Overwrites Shocking Weapon[*Needs a new skill icon graphic]

Burning Weapon - Previously called Enchant, adds fire damage and attack rating to nearby allies. (similar to Battle Orders. Hint, you can use this on Hydra!)

Shocking Armor - A buff for nearby allies that causes melee attackers to take a lot of lightning damage. Damage is improved with vitality instead of energy. (similar to Battle Orders)

Utility Skills

Teleport - As you may have seen already, it has a hefty cooldown and mana cost. The cooldown can be further reduced by finding cooldown reduction on circlets. However the cooldown has been dramatically reduced.

[Major Issue*]Summon Fire / Lightning / Ice Elemental - 3 different skills, each one lowers enemy resistances related to the element. Can only summon one in total, but can summon more with items.Lightning deals the most damage, Fire is the tankiest, and Ice is neither but uses a ranged attack while the other two use melee[*Unfortunately due to a limitation, the elementals do not benefit from their listed resistances. Instead as a placeholder, they will have 50/70/80% resistances until a fix is implemented]


[Minor Issue*]Glacial Spike - Will initially have a cooldown but can be lowered to 0.[*Cooldown does not correctly state that it reaches 0 cooldown. The skill will be modified to compensate in the following update.]

[Minor Issue*]Frost Nova - Damage will remain low to be treated as a Crowd Control skill. Chill length and range is increased with skill levels.[Description could use an update.]

Scribe Mastery - This is a placeholder skill for a future passive. In the meantime it is a mediocre Fire Bolt.

Lunar Strike - Passive. Has a 5+1 per lvl% chance on attack to unleash homing projectiles, dealing a large amount of weapon damage as magic.

Telekinesis - Unchanged for now.

Shivers - Create a ring of power that slows your projectiles, but increases damage. For some skills they will become worse, for some other skills however it becomes a boon. You must stay within the ring to have this effect.

Items

Peacekeeper now grants a bonus to Bone Spear since Teeth has been replaced

Increased the minimum physical damage & massively increased the burning damage of Consecrated Flasks.

Poison damage has significantly decreased value, which would result in extremely high buy/sell values.

Vendors will no longer sell an additional 1-3 of an item, which could cause other items to not spawn.

Three Moth’s Song is heavily nerfed, but still very much powerful.

Sorceress Orbs are now consistently sized for their exceptional and elite versions. In addition, they have been renamed, and given brand new item graphics.

All items now have their durability increased by 5.

Runes now have affixes on them once again, and modified required levels.

Enemies

All monsters, including bosses and summons, are slowed by 40/30/20% from Cold in Normal, Nightmare and Hell. All monsters, even those immune, can be potentially chilled or frozen.

This new area will Act as the introduction to Paradox’s story, and what the mod’s endgame will pertain.This new area will have an increased chance to drop Path of Exile currencies[*], trophies[*], cosmetic states[*], exclusive unique items, and the new Legacy Relics. Not much else will be said about it, as to leave it as a surprise.[*Not implemented yet]

Public Alpha 0.2.5 - 02/01/2021

===

With huge thanks to to Araksson, the author of the Blessing Mod, Independant Cooldowns are now implemented! Abilities are now categorized into different groups that will share a cooldown. Currently all Teleport abilities (Corpse Walk & Teleport etc.) share a cooldown, and all Oskills (except for Chill of Death) share a cooldown. Every player skill has an independant cooldown* so that you can for example use Frozen Orb right after Teleporting!

*Note that some class skills share a cooldown with different class skills (i.e. Paladin's Fist of the Heavens shares a cooldown with Firewall), but this is a non issue as the mod doesen't let you directly access most class oskills to begin with.

If you're a 1.10 mod author and are interested in using the plugin, contact Araksson#1467 directly on Discord for more information!

Go into the mod folder, in data\global\ui\panel. rename hlthmana.dc6 to something else, and rename hlthmanaBLACKPURPLE.dc6 to hlthmana.dc6
Then head into data\global\items. rename NewHealingPotion and NewManaPotion to something else, and rename NewHealingPotionBLACK and NewHealingPotionPURPLE to NewHealingPotion and NewManaPotion respectively.

Added two new optional fonts: AVQUEST and LATO-BOLD
If you would like to change these fonts, go to the mod folder, in data\local\. There are two folders, fontAVQUEST and fontLATOBOLD. Example screenshots can be found in the folders. When you've decided on whichever one you like, rename either folder to: font. To disable it, simply rename the font folder to something else.

If you wish to get rid of the color pallete changes, which most notably causes blood to be black, in data\local you will find color.txt. Delete or rename it to revert to regular colors.
