[1.07.41] Adding players X command

[imakeigloospat]

Hi,
Would it be possible to add this command to this version? I am considering playing it for my first time and would love to not having to play on TCP/IP all the time.

Moving this to technical support.

It’s possible but I won’t be implementing any Singling features for this version.

I see. Any chance you can tell me how I would do it?

I might be able to take a look at doing it this weekend. Something to keep in mind though is that depending on how legit you want the game to be, it will determine how you implement the command. Even though 1.08 doesn't have a player command, drops are still affected by the number of players in the game, so when the command is added there, it's identical to 1.09+. In 1.00-1.07 however, drops are only affected by the number of people in the area. So if you add a command to simulate players in the game, by default you will only get more monster life+XP. If you want items too, the mechanics must be patched to work like 1.08+ to be affected by virtual players.

@imakeigloospat Singling is proprietary so I don't share the source code or techniques for doing this. However, as @galaxyhaxz mentioned, she may be able to implement it.

Moving this again to Tamoe Highland since 1.07.41 is part of the Cactus Ports Collection rather than included as an officially released version of the game.

I would love that!! It's been a while but we have had many discussions years ago in the diabloii/purediablo forums about previous patches

I would be very grateful. If possible increasing the nodrop chance would be awesome but nothing I demand at all!
