Throwing down a challenge...

Nightfall · 09-10-2004, 12:34 PM

Thought I'd see who around here could possibily help me in my quest to make Diablo 2 characters similiar to some famous names in published fantasy.

Specificially, I would love to see someone make me Snaga, the Sender from David Gemell's Druss. So if someone can make this (I'd prefer an elite type axe folks) I'd be VERY appreciative.

Even better, make me a set based on Snaga AND Druss' armor, his gauntlets, boots and helm.

So whadda think?

hmm i have no idea what u are talking about explain...

If I understand correctly, he's talking about making a mod that allows him to make these characters from this fantasy. And also make a set, obviously named after one of the characters.

**Demonic** · 09-10-2004, 02:58 PM

oo ok well have fun making that mod cuz what a heard you have to have alot of programming expierence

Uhm not quite. See I just want this particular weapon, Snaga for right now. Perhaps maybe make Snaga a set item or just a unique.

Here's the link for more about David Gemmell and what I'm talking about.

If you guys need more info let me know...

kinda sounds like fun. you can make a custom named unique using a 1.09 editor then just change it to 1.10. in 1.10 editors, yould have to find the unique name unfortunately. if it was based on numbering too, it would be 555 but its based on name unfortunately. not sure what the items look like though nightfall. it would be easier if you posted what they kinda look like and probably be able to mimic them

Uhm Snaga is a large battle axe (probably two handed but Druss, being over 7 feet tall I believe, could wield it one handed.)

Moon cresent shaped, had silver runes inscribed on it, and long handle, good hand and half size for Druss, probably two handed for anyone else.

That's about all I know save it used to have a demon possessing it. Overall there was NOTHING Snaga didn't/couldn't kill.

You have one hell of an imagination my friend.

Nightfall · 10-29-2004, 09:10 AM

Not quite. As I said before, Snaga is a weapon in a fictional work. True Sword and Sorcery by Gemmell, with lots of fights, plenty of monsters and some rather complicated issues. It's not quite what I'd termed "Book candy" (ie: books that are fun to read but not like deep and moving fantasy epics.) But there are aspects to Gemmell that make it more than "a fun read" and less than "deep and moving" literature.

so no picture huh..i'll see what i can do about creating it then i think ogre axe might make the perfect axe for it.

**DragonStrife** · 10-29-2004, 10:23 AM

Lol I dont feel like reading that so i dont no

Doesnt that require going into the d2char files? And a generalization of modmaking? I gave up on that months ago :P

**trayne** · 10-29-2004, 10:43 AM

not really. its just to make a simple ogre axe and there is no mod making to it. true, you modify the attibutes of an item but its not completely altering the whole thing

Hopefully one day Hero Editor will have complete item creating (from scratch) and set making abilities. That would be fun to play around with.

ya i agree, well u kinda can create items form scratch just not ur own type of weapons and stuff and within guidelines... but besides that its there. then again the set part that would truly be fun to do.

woo only like 10 or so posts to go til 1k

**DeStRuCtIoN** · 10-29-2004, 07:07 PM

it'll be so damn cool to make ur own sets... imagine u have to to have 2 rings, on amu, armour, helm, boots, belt AND gloves and shield and a weapon for a PERFECT set.

**trayne** · 10-30-2004, 02:21 AM

making your own set shouldnt be too hard if you know how to mix 1.09 hacking with 1.10 knowledge. i have a few of my own personal uniques that only have my name that work well. i just need to add some 1.10 modifications to them to keep them updated.
