d2bin2txt VS diablo2

PD2 placed LOD .txt files into their patch_d2.mpq, but the .bin files are PD2 bins which can be modded (with a hex editor) or converted to txts (using a bin2txt converter https://github.com/CaiMiao/d2bin2txt)

I used WinMerge for diffs and HxD to view values and for editing. Also MPQ Editor for extracting/packing mpqs, d2bin2txt to decompile .bin files and Notepad++ for .txt editing.

I was able to compile this https://github.com/CaiMiao/d2bin2txt

Here's a link to the unchanged 1.13c version of sets.txt in case anyone wants to make sure I didn't change anything.

You can check it here , in the first three lines, column 6 : https://github.com/fabd/diablo2/blob/master/code/d2_113_data/TreasureClassEx.txt

You can check that sacred armors have 4 picks in the 87TC, while all class specific items have 1 (however they have increased base chance to roll unique). You can check that here : https://github.com/fabd/diablo2/blob/master/code/d2_113_data/Armor.txt

With the confirmed buff to find item and a lot of wonder on YT and the forums, I thought it best to give the facts. correct me where I did wrong. these calculations are for P1. you by yourself grinding trav in search for loot. this will be different for different areas. I use https://github.com/fabd/diablo2/blob/master/code/d2_113_data/TreasureClassEx.txt to look at line 706 for Council (H). Council (H) 3 650 800 800 1024 19 "gld,mul=2048" 9 Act 4 (H) Equip A 15 Act 4 (H) Junk 5 Act 4 (H) Good 3 Act 4 (H) Magic A 4

Find a file uniqueitems.txt (or setitems.txt for, well, set items) - either online or extract it from the game. 1.13 source here - a bit outdated, but I believe there were no changes there. You can open such files in Excel, as they are in TSV (tab separated values) format.

No. They are from 1.13c, numbers were much worse before that. I have calculated all of the rune drop chances by myself in Excel based on 1.13c TreasureClassEx file, source. Same confirmed by preppypoof, author of the initial HR guide. The rest is players X scaling. Please do not claim something is not from 1.13, unless you provide full source and calcs that can back that up. I have laid out my calcs and sources used.

TLDR: lvl9, +120% fire damage. Against players pvp penalty is applied (1/6 damage received), that's why merc dies so much faster. Monster skill levels are listed in MonStats.txt, don't know the source for the additional fire bonus.

Finally, the river of flame has different mob types, I encourage you to look them up in the game files. This guy has them all extracted here: https://github.com/fabd/diablo2/tree/master/code/d2_113_data

But this guy here has most of the interesting files: https://github.com/fabd/diablo2/tree/master/code/d2_113_data
