Hey. I know that there are parts of this mod that are not balanced. That was my first mod ever and there are many mistakes. However I don't think it can be fixed by just changing items. There are many factors to balance such game: items, spells, skills and the way stats like damage are calculated. W...

Nice work but your approach of the problem is wrong. :D Animations in diablo 1 are not drawn by hand. All game objects as well as level graphics were created as 3d models. After that they were rendered at correct angles into bitmaps and then paletized. Resolutions of all game objects are rather low ...

I'm sorry that this mod is not enjoyable experience right now but that's the way of alpha version. I have to experiment because there's no such thing like blueprints for this mod. Some changes are good while others fail and need to be scrapped. Now my goal is to slowly implement quest system and fix...

Mod will be retuned based on players feedback each patch so it will hopefully become balanced at some point. Mana cost of skills will be reduced next patch and bow damage calculation will be restored. If mana cost is removed from skills then might aswell remove all mana leach items from the mod beca...

I would gladly cooperate with a person who knows how to balance an rpg game. By that I mean to create complete and reasonable balanace of every aspect and not just balancing the game differently because that's not a big deal to do :D. I aim for game balance that is diablo 1 like for normal and progr...

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=38986610238880893758 I hope that all critical bugs are fixed in this release. I ran out of time to apply all fixes and improvements that were planned. :( Tchernobog version 0.1.0 - Fixed bug that caused weapon to disapear - Fixed bug that proevent seconda...

Tchernobog mod in next alpha release will backup save files automatically before saving. There isnt much more you can do with simple filesystem.

It's related to graphic card or driver missing some features required for these effects.

So far 45 fixes and improvements for the next patch. Progress can be checked in the bug tracker. Game freeze bug will require reengineering of quite a big part of mod multiplayer code but that's not something I'm afraid of.

Dealing with bugs and implementing quests is just a matter of time. However I'm really sad about mod balance. It's somewhere between poor and non existing. I don't even see a possibility to fix it to the way it should be because it requires much testing and playing with calc sheets which would take ...

I have already fixed 25 bugs from the tracker. There are about 35 more that can be fixed without great effort or rewriting mod modules. After that I'm not sure whether I should first improve mod architecture that's needed to fix some heavy bugs like game freeze or items disapearing or implement ques...

I do not want to make sorceror or necro to feel underpowered. There is no problem with destroying 2-3 monsters at same time. It's chainlightning and similar spam that is too powerful. Adding cooldowns makes whole thing annoying to play. Progressive level requirement for spell books is definately goo...

There are some serious balance problems in tchernobog/belzebub when it comes to spellcasters. Basically sorceror and to lesser extent necromancer grow in strength too quickly. Currently one way to stop them from destroying everything instantly are immunities. This is however rather lame and not fun....

Hello. I recently started to tinker around with the mod again. There is a chance for bug fixing patches in near future. I realized that even with limited amout of time it's still possible to bring the mod to playability levels of belzebub. The problem is that progres will be slow. :twisted: My plan:...
