Hello all, I'm pleased to announce Cactus 5.5.0. Patch notes below. You can continue to download Cactus from the usual locations. With this release I'm completely done bringing over all of the mods that I could bring over from Windows to Linux! All but 4 were able to be perfectly brought over...

I guess both lol. Lances have the best distance and damage with the lowest amount of str requirement. You could use a great maul for awesome damage as well + increased damage against undead, but the range is a bit shorter I think and it has way higher str requirement.

Succulent is proprietary. So yea no .txt files. And yea reverse engineering another person’s mod for this purpose is frowned upon in the modding community.

Yea mercs are useless and you basically can completely ignore them. As for gems, they are also not as useful in classic. Mostly just diamonds for a 3os shield and having some nice solid all res. Other than that if you are playing HC than rubies can help with HP, and sapphires for MP. So very...

You’ll want to read my 1.05b Singling section to learn of some of the differences of original D2 Classic. It’s a completely different game than LoD and significantly more difficult...

Rack mechanics are the same but 1.08 has 1:800 rack odds for unique vs 1:1000 in 1.07 IIRC. However 1.07 doesn’t take area level into account so you can rack most of the uniques in LK Hell 1.07 racks where as in 1.08 you need to go to Halls of Vaught to rack the same thing.

Lol this is the wrong category for this. This is Diablo 1 Tristram not the destroyed Tristram in D2 Classic. Moving this back up to Rogue Encampment.

The overlays folder will get created automatically by Cactus when you first launch it. If you are still using 5.3.0 or lower that won't exist.

Go with 1.05b, my favorite version.

@Bambi1775 I've added some documentation regarding muling and video configuration to the documentation. I've also implemented and released an Overlay system which should make things much easier and safer. You should read the patch notes and visit the Singling page for instructions on how to set...

Cactus 5.4.0

Yup I play on the original game internal resolution (640x480) and use cnc-ddraw to have a bigger game window. You’ll want to read why I play on the original resolution here.

I have a 4K display so I always need to adjust the window size or it will be too small. You'll need to edit your Common/Core/ddraw.ini file and adjust as follows: That will make the game start in window mode by default at a 1024x768 resolution. You may need to tweak it until you find a...
