Diablo2:Lord of Maidens - Touhou mod [Completed]

[Pesco]

I'm making sure there are no instagib broken spells accessible at level 18 :V

[Maav]

Tell people to take the screenshot with the minimap up, Pesco. It's not fair if it's on Multiplayer, as someone can dual client to make Reimu have a low HP with a leveled character then just kill "her" with the low leveled character. :C

[theshirn]

Make people record it!

[ARF]

Sounds like a fun challenge, when will the patch be available?

[Rotund_Danmaku]

That's the true show of your Danmaku's Skill!!! :V
I'll have the hard time to rescue kourin again since the "one-shot kill elements" have been fixed.
(It's a time to rock'n'dodge!)
And... If a I have win that challenge in request level I have some request...
If my name'll become super unique I'll be Bettleburst  or Ancient Ka the Soulless
If I'm the Item I'll have the "Lightning" Attribute.
(What's mean /Player 8?)

[Pesco]

Doing it in Multiplayer won't work because the mod is too unstable for that. But you bring a fair point. Minimap up please guys.

It'll be exclusive to version 0.67. The big update of that version is meant to be game dialogues. We're still a long way to go, so if you help out with writing some of it, I'll have it up sooner.

Edit: I won't replace an existing superunique for the prize. You'll get to be the boss of your own area.

/Players 8 just sets a multiplier to monster's stats and exp gain.

Make people record it!

Not everyone has a comp good enough to record a gameplay video. :s
I'm one of those.

[Captain Infinity]

Whoever accomplishes this with the lowest character level will win themselves a reference in the mod. You may be an item or a superunique.

PFFT, who needs a reference in the mod, I was a Rune Word in the game before it was cool :V

[Rotund_Danmaku]

PFFT, who needs a reference in the mod, I was a Rune Word in the game before it was cool :V

And you're also a unique Voulge in this mod called "Infinity".... :V
I wonder how you'll do to make required for access the "Unique Area" of the challege's winner.
(I think when you screencap, You shall open character statue window to confirm you level, too)
Also, I have posted those script once but most likely to be forgotten...

Act V Q1 Siege on the Mayohiga

- Change Quest name into "Flower of Trouble"

Nitori - Quest Given
If you want to stop Marisa from travel forward to the Hakurei Border.
First of all, We need to handle something outside the Mayohiga.
Kazami Yuuka, The 4 seasoned Flower Youkai. Have follow Marisa's order because she want to cause some of havoc.
Marisa order Yuuka to watch for the Mayohiga's Hunters and kill them all.
Our Youkai Hunters have fallen so many because her.
She's destruction power are second to none, Except Marisa in that demonic form.
And now, She try to order some "Terrorist Force" to attack Mayohiga without cared the placed Border and Marisa's order.
I fear that her massive power will break the Border someday without Marisa's power.
If that happen, I bet the Mayohiga will be the ruins by Yuuka's single-hand.
For our safety, You must kill her to stop this maniac strike and for ensure that we are still have the hope to stop Marisa from grain the power of Worldstone.

- NPC Sub-Quest Dialogue
Nitori - In Quest
I have heard that Yuuka is one of the four most "Strongest" Youkai in the Gensokyo
Another is Yukari,Letty(When in the Winter) and Yuyuko.
To defeat her is the very risky for the mortal's life.
Nitori - Quest Complete
You can defeat Yuuka! With this happen the "Gensokyo Terrorist Force" will lost the "Placeholder" leader
and can't oparate with out Marisa's order anymore. And Marisa aren't known this yet.
It'll halt the siege outside Mayohiga and make "Gensokyo Terrorist Force" can't do anything.
That's good thing. For graditude you, I will create you the socket in the Item of your chioce.
And I will have the test on "The Socket Creater Machine" in same time.

Layla - In Quest
Well... Go outside and get killed by that Youkai.
There aren't no thing to lost now.
Layla - Quest Complete
Impressive, I don't believe that the like of you can defeat Yuuka.

Ran - In Quest
I can't help you if you get killed and pulverized in to her flower's "Fertilizer"
Ran - Quest Complete
Perfect! You are defeat her while only take some wounds.
I'll heal you without the charge. Becuase heal the wound is more easy than make the funeral.

Yuugi - In Quest
Even me, aren't dare to confront Yuuka's destruction power.
Her power can kill even the Oni like me in recordable time.
Yuugi - Quest Complete
You can defeat her? Hahaha!!!
If you have the time, Come and "Play" Danmaku with me.
It will be the fun...
Hey... you look pale. I'm just kidding!

Rinnosuke - In Quest
Becareful, Yuuka are very strong that even demonic Marisa can't grain her full control.
Defeat her on Danmaku even in Spellcard Rules are still difficult to done it.
Rinnosuke - Quest Complete
I think that you will return alive but you aren't only return alive.
You are also defeat Yuuka! That is the thing that I aren't excepted.
Anyway, This mean Marisa will lost one of her most powerful "Minion"
and it will make we have the hope to stop Marisa from using the power of Worldstone.

Act V Q2 Rescue on Mount Arreat
- Change Quest name into "Magic of Destruction"

Yuugi - Quest Given
You have done well to kill that Youkai. But we still have the battle to fight!
Let's see, This is the map of the Hakurei Field.
My scout soldier report that Marisa captured some Humans and Youseis at Hakurei Field
And Marisa want to use them as "Tribute" for the "Magic of Destruction" that she receive from Mima to break the Border that Yukari created   
We must not let this thing happen! Go to Hakurei Field and rescue all of captured people from the clutch of the greedy witch.
They are locked in the magical cage that not allow the captured use magic,
To rescue them is to break the cage's door to make the cage become malfuction
and they'll use Yukari's Gap to wrap back to the town.
If you can rescue all of them. At least we can buy more time to counter attack at Marisa's force.
Good luck, and be careful.

- NPC Sub-Quest Dialogue
Nitori - In Quest
Becareful, I hear that Marisa's Force aren't have only the Youkai and Yousei.
She's also create some "Mechanic" robot that she grain the blueprint from Youkai Mountain.
Rescue the unlucky ones will be not so easy.

Nitori - Quest Complete
They are all safe! It's the good thing in these dark hours.
I will tell more of story that I have spooken...
"Lucky in Misfortune, She can raid only the half of Kappa's resident before Lord Tenma and Sanae appear to stop her.
Marisa have been "Defeated" by Sanae and Lord Tenma. So she retreat and change raid target into Mayohiga and Worldstone."
I guest that if she grain power of the Worldstone. She'll destroy Mayohiga before "Revenge" both Sanae and Lord Tenma at Youkai Mountain.

Layla - In Quest
Break throught Marisa's army aren't easy thing to do...
I can say only "Good luck, And come back alive"

Layla - Quest Complete
You are do the good thing...
Maybe I should create some song to thank you?

Ran - In Quest
You are going to rescue those unlucky Humans and Youseis?
Good luck, And be careful.
Breaking into Marisa's "Terrorist Force Headquater" aren't easy.

Ran - Quest Complete
Good. All of Human and Yousei aren't heavy harmed.
Marisa seem to be "Soft" than I thought.

Yuugi - In Quest
Quick! We have not time to lost!
Every second thicking is the lower chance of the captured's survive.
Yuugi - Quest Complete
Thank you so much. Some of Oni want to adventure with the bold and strong traveller like you.
You can hire them any time, Oh... I mean "Drink and pay the Sake's cost for them".
And this is the rare stone that inscribe the Rune.
First time, I save them for using it to enchant the shield.
But since I'm the Oni, Shield aren't option to use in the fight.
So I will give it to you as the graditude's token.
Remember, Order the Rune's placement to the correct one for they fullest effect.

Rinnosuke - In Quest
It's time to break Marisa's "Terrorist Force" Encampment.
If you are have time enough. You will find that Marisa plundered anything not even the scrap of metals.
Even she don't known how to use it. She like to collect anything alot.
And that is why her home is the "So-called" most messy place in the Gensokyo.
Rinnosuke - Quest Complete
It's good that everyone's safe.
Anyway, Do you happen to find the Kusakani Sword?
It's the very rare and good sword that can cut almost anything.
It have been "Raided" by Marisa's Minion about three months ago...
From my shop, Of course! 

Act V Q3 Prison of Ice

Ran - Quest Given
You are only my hope now. I'll tell something that I can't talk to the other.
Chen, My shikigami have been lost by 3 days ago. I have heard Chen and Layla arguement about Prismriver's Instruments.
And then Chen is disapear. I think this must be Layla's work.
Since layla is the composer for the Prismriver's Sisters. She can have many excuses to talk.
Don't believe her! I known that Chen must be harmed by her.
Go to find where is Chen and find the truth about this incident.
Layla... If I can find Chen... It will be you end!!! I will use all of my spellcards to Danmaku and dispose you!!!
Errr... Sorry for over acting. Me and Chen is like the mother and the daughter. I'll not allow anyone to harm my most loved Chen.

This incident will slow you down from stop Marisa's Greed.
But it is the task that you must done. I don't want to see anyone lost like Yukari anymore.
Nitori - Quest Complete
That insane already escape to her mansion!
I don't think her dilerium will be the excuse for her action.
She must be "Dispose" for confirm the safe for the rests of Mayohiga's people.

Layla - In Quest
Chen is the Ran's Shikigami.
Stil, She is still the child. Maybe she is going to play somewhere and get lost?

Ran - In Quest
That Layla, I think that she is insane since the prismriver's sisters is lost due Marisa's Hakurei Shrine "Raid"
Never trust her! And rescue Chen.
She is the only one who known what is happenning.
Ran - Quest Complete

Argg!!! THAT DAMN GHOST ALREADY ESCAPE TO HER MANSION!!!!
YOU MUST FOLLOW AND KILL HER!!! SINCE SHE DARE TO HARM MY MOST LOVED CHEN!
Oops! Sorry for the loud and rude speaking. For graditude's token.
This is the arcane scroll that can enchant the user's elemental resistance.
Since Yukara-sama are disapear, You shall take it without any trouble.
It will be useful for you more than the "12-Hours Sleeper" like Yukari-sama.
AND REMEMBER! KILL LAYLA FOR ME!!!

Yuugi - In Quest
Chen is losing, And Layla become acting like insane.
This is aren't good thing to happen in this worst situation.
Yuugi - Quest Complete
Curse! That insane capture Chen in the Ice cave.
She is very cruel. Since the cat aren't like the cold weather and Chen is only the child.

Rinnosuke - In Quest
I think that Layla are become complete insane..
She keep mumbling about "Prismriver's Instruments".
Rinnosuke - Quest Complete
That is Layla's fault. She is dared to make a "Deal" with that thievery witch.
Her sister is lost during Hakurei Shrine's Feast for returning of Reimu.
Marisa destroy the shrine completely. Even Reimu can't stop Marisa.
And the Prismriver's Sister is... Lost.
I guest this is the reason why Layla become insane.
She insane because of her grief. I'm feel very sorry to her.

Act V Q4 Betrayer of Mayohiga(Plus)

Go to the Prismriver's Mansion throught the gap that Chen opened and find Layla in her mansion
- Quest Log Find Layla
Dispose an insane Layla

Chen - After Quest Complete
What! The Prismriver's Instruments have been handed over to Marisa!
I don't believe that Layla trust Marisa enouge to allow Marisa "borrow" the most loved Instruments of her sisters!
And this will cause Marisa to go the Hakurei Border with same time make the Prismriver's sisters mad
and wait to Danmaku anyone that'll follow Marisa at the front of the Hakurei Border. What the worst situation than I thought.
- When she give the quest(I'm not sure this right) Anya(Chen)'ll Talk about that Nihlathak give the Reilic to Baal to make a deal.
Chen - Quest Given
Layla talking like she is complete insane. She say that Marisa'll "borrow" the Instruments of her sisters.
I'm think that isn't good idea. Since that thievery witch can't be trusted.
I'm try to warn her. But the result become that she use some of Marisa's thieved spellcards
from the Voile library to freeze me in that cave.
You must stop her before her handed over the Prismriver's sisters most loved Instruments to Marisa.
If she give it to Marisa, The Prismriver's sisters will be mad and the way to the Hakurei Border will become more difficult to reach.
With my superior master's power, You can reach the Prismriver's Mansion throught this gap.
Good luck, and stop Layla from making Prismriver's sisters mad.

- NPC Sub-Quest Dialogue
Nitori - In Quest
Go to Prismriver's Mansion and stop Layla from doing anything that can slow you down.
Becuase I have heard the story form Chen. Layla are trying to "Serve" Marisa.
And this will give Marisa more time to go throught Hakurei Border.
Nitori - Quest Complete
Damn! We are trapped by Marisa's plan!
The innocent Prismriver's Sisters will become Marisa's "Tool" to delay you down.
Becareful then. I don't know what is Marisa want with the Worldstone.

Chen - In Quest
I'm feel very bad since Yukari-sama have disappear.
That make Ran-sama become not talk nor play with me anymore.

Ran - In Quest
You must defeat and kill Layla in place of me.
Since there are many wounded poeple in Mayohiga.
I can't go and Danmaku with her to revenge for Chen.
AH! DAMN! LAYLA!!!! IF ONLY I AREN'T HAVE TO HEAL THE WOUNDED PEOPLE IN MAYOHIGA!!!
I'LL GO TO KILL YOU WITH MYSELF!!!.
Er... Sorry for the loud and rude speak again.
Ran - Quest Complete
Thank for kill Layla for me. She will find her home among the worst sinners in the hell.
And I hope that she'll have to heard the "Non-Stop 72 Hours Preaching" from Shikieiki.

Yuugi - In Quest

You can kill that betrayal without any mercy now.
Yuugi - Quest Complete

Keine is being harassed by Hakutaku and cows asking her to marry them! Are you a badass enough player to rescue her? :V

[ARF]

Keine is being harassed by Hakutaku and cows asking her to marry them! Are you a badass enough player to rescue her? :V

This patch will be great!

Are you planning on revamping all the mini dungeons throughout the world? Please don't put unkillable monsters in the Vampire Vacation Home, it's the only optional dungeon I regularly visit in playthroughs.

[Pesco]

If there's free space, I'm recycling it. For example, I want to put in dungeons that are runs of the Touhou games. So a side area will have 6 rooms, each being a stage of the Touhou game and you fight the boss. I'll probably put extra rooms if there are midbosses.

Even places with quest items like Halls of the Dead 3 can be hijacked for this purpose (because you don't need to fetch the cube from there).

[Rotund_Danmaku]

This's the quick job... :V

Act III Q1 The Bottomless Ladle

Rinnosuke - When you pick Ladle
What's this? A Bottomless Ladle?
For my opinion by my ability. It use for sink the ship...
I'm wonder who'll want it? Maybe some of kind of Sinker Ghost?

Minamitsu - When you Give Ladle
How can you find this ladle!?
I've lost it since the last time I'm Danmaku with Sanae's Minion in order to protect Myouren Temple.
Anyway, Thank you so much! With this ladle I can sink the ship...
Er... I mean protect Myouren Temple with everyone again.
For my graditude I'll give you this Oni Broze to you.
I just pick it from some fairys that I defeat them in Danmaku before the situation in Eientei
and Bamboo Forest of Lost become worst. I heard that it was made by Eirin, Herself for the Oni.

Rinnosuke - When you have Oni Broze
The Broze that make speciality for Oni?
I suggest that you shall give it to Suika. Before she'll smell and follow the broze's scent and coming there by herself.
Or all of us and people around here'll take the risk from unknown recipe of this broze.
Since it made by Eirin, It haven't gauranteed that it aren't have some kind of human-poisoning stuffs.

Suika - When you give her Oni Broze
Hey! The Broze for me? Thank so much!
I would like to invite you to drink with me but...
Most of Oni's Special Broze are contain the human-poisoning stuffs.
Please wait till I have taste some of it for sure that you can drink it or not.

Suika - Give you Potion (Change Potion's Name into A Cup of Eirin's Oni Broze)
Ah! It was very delicious! Hmm??
For some of drinking. It wasn't have any human-poisoning stuff...
But... I was drink almost all of it. Ah! This's you cup for trying it, Since one cup of it is better than have nothing left.
But I gauranteed that'll be you favourite broze that you'll find no chance to drink it anymore!   

[Pesco]

Somebody wanted Marisa to fire more stars right?

[theshirn]

Not enough stars.

Speaking of Marisa stars, is there any way to stop them going through enemies on her first skill?  They only damage the first target and the rest is just glitter.

[Pesco]

But you gotta have the bling when playing Marisa :V I can disable it, but that would be injustice to her.

[Vilkni]

A little correction: The other stars CAN hit other targets, the problem is that each star only hits one target once. At least if that's what I am remembering right about the skill.

[Pesco]

The little stars behind the big one are for show only. The piercing effect of the missiles is also purely graphical according to the missile settings. It should be the skill only that controls the piercing effect.

Edit: Tested with and without piercing. The stars only damage the first target it hits.

[theshirn]

But you gotta have the bling when playing Marisa :V I can disable it, but that would be injustice to her.

Fair enough!

[ARF]

Somebody wanted Marisa to fire more stars right?

Yes! More like this, and the mod will be beyond awesome, can you make Lunasa throw notes too? And maybe change the prismrivers sprites to those corrupted rogues or something, they are kinda undead ghost-ish.

[Pesco]

Corrupted rogues don't have the right animations for the skills the Ancients have. What I could try do is give them a high fade state like Ghostly champs.

[Pesco]

Prototype stage for fighting Yuyuko under Saigyou Ayakashi is complete and ready for me to crash your game with

I'll edit in a screenshot here in a bit.

[Dr Rawr]

it will only be a challenge if they are physical and magic immune

[Pesco]

Yuyuko kinda invoked death on me :ohdear:

[theshirn]

OH LOOK IT IS SATORI DIALOGUE (and a bit of Utsuho)
INTRO ? SATORI
...If you?re looking for welcome, you?ll not find it here.

...hmm, but I see you?re already well accustomed to that.

Ah, forgive me.  I am Satori Komeiji, mistress of Chireiden.  I apologize; it?s difficult to stop myself from hearing the thoughts of others.  I?ll attempt to refrain from doing so.

Thank you for bringing Koishi back, by the way.  She?s always been prone to wandering off, but with all the chaos and troubles facing us now I?ve been genuinely worried about her.

I?ve heard that you?ve already begun carving a path through the madness out there, seeking out the Three.  Marisa did pass through here not too long ago.  Apparently she was searching for the tomb of her old master, Mima.  But...I only spoke with her for a moment, but her mind was...different.  Distant.  Altered.

I don?t know what she found out there, but I urge you to take due caution.  Whatever is behind this madness, it was enough to corrupt even the strongest of us.

Now, if you?ll excuse me, I need to return home.  This trouble has left none of us untouched.  If you need a place to stay, seek out Rumi Arie at her tavern to the east.  She?ll also tell you more about a...rather delicate task I could use some aid with.

TAINTED SUN 1
It?s not often I say this, but you should talk to Utsuho about this.  She?s more or less responsible for the heat and light.

TAINTED SUN 2
I?m afraid I can?t help you with this.  You?ll have to rely on your own skill and wits.

TAINTED SUN COMPLETE
We?ve all gotten so used to this nuclear power.  Take it away and we all turn into scared children?Heh.  I thank you for your help.

ARCANE SANCTUARY 1
I suppose it?s time I leveled with you.  The reason I?ve had to spend so much time at home of late is due to demons taking over my mansion.

It wasn?t long ago, shortly after Marisa passed through, that this started.  One night, suddenly, demons began boiling up from the basement of my home.  Somehow, a rift to Makai has been torn down there.  I dealt with the first few easily, but by the time I realized what was happening there were too many to challenge directly.  I?ve had to settle for sealing off the lower reaches of the mansion while we marshaled our resources.

I feel this might be useful for you, however.  You?ve covered a wide stretch of the desert without turning up a clue on Marisa?s whereabouts.  But if she was behind this portal, venturing through it might put you back on her trail.  I offer no guarantees, but it seems our best bet at the moment.

You may enter my home whenever you please.  Just take due care.

ARCANE SANCTUARY 2
I?ve no knowledge of Makai myself, but I?ve heard tales from Reimu and Marisa about it.  It seems a wild and twisted place, and its inhabitants are no better.

ARCANE SANCTUARY COMPLETE
Going up against Shinki herself was a brave feat.  And it looks like your efforts have paid off.  You must be nearly there.

?Good luck.

THE SUMMONER 1
Shinki, goddess of Makai?

Were she in control of herself, she could bend the whole of her world to her whim.  But with her out of control like this, there?s no telling what could happen in there.

THE SUMMONER COMPLETE
Well, defeating Shinki herself was certainly one effective method of solving this problem.  Now all I have to do is seal off that portal.  Well done.

THE SEVEN TOMBS 1
If you?re going after Marisa, it behooves you to know what she herself is after.

Marisa passed through here seeking the tomb of Mima, her former master.  It?s been many years since she was her student, but with the madness overtaking her, combining her polished skill with magic with her old teacher?s terrible sorcery is a recipe for disaster!

You must follow her with all haste.  I don?t know what she might find in the tomb, but it would surely bring destruction and death to countless more.  The tomb is deep in the desert underground, and many foul and twisted creatures now guard the path.  Temper speed with caution, and do not sacrifice one for the other.

THE SEVEN TOMBS 2
Mima is not the only one entombed down here.  Once it was considered the only way to seal a vengeful spirit.  You?ll need not only to find the tombs, but a way to pick out the right one.

THE SEVEN TOMBS COMPLETE
You needn?t say a word.  I understand.

No, it?s the look on your face that tells all.  I don?t have to read hearts to understand others, you know.

So they?re headed to Eientei?I don?t think I have to spell out to you how bad it will be if the Three reunite.  For all our sakes, you must follow them and prevent that from happening.  I?d accompany you, but I will be sorely needed here, in the wake of this destruction.

I?ll send you off with Minamitsu.  She?s been itching to get out of here anyway.

You have done very well so far, and I am certain you will catch them soon.  Take care?my friend.

INTRO ? UTSUHO
Oh, so you?re the one who brought Koishi back!

The little sister?s always been a bit out there, and while Satori?s great and all, it?s kinda hard to tell what she?s thinking sometimes.  It?s a good thing they?ve got me around to keep everything going around here!

Oh, man, I totally spaced on you.  I?m Reiuji Utsuho.  I keep the Underground warm and bright!  Let me know if you need anything; Satori?s always busy these days.  And I?ve got a few odds and ends you might be able to use.

RADAMENT I
So you?ve heard from Rumi?

Listen good.  Orin?s just about my best friend in the world.  I know there?s probably no chance of this, with everything going wrong the way it is, but?if you can bring her back somehow, I?d?

Sorry, I?m just going to pieces here.  You mind coming back later?

RADAMENT 2
Please hurry and help Orin.  Even if there?s only one kind of help you can give her?

RADAMENT COMPLETE
It?s?funny, you know?  Orin was?she was always the reliable one.  She looked after me, even when I didn?t ask her to.  It just seems all twisted up that she?d be taken by this and I?d be the one left behind?

At least she?s at peace, now.  Thank you for that.

TAINTED SUN 1
Ah, burning hells!  Someone?s gone and messed around with my reactor!

I dunno what they think they?re doing.  They could blow a hole the size of?um?a really big thing in the Underground!

I can?t get out there with everything like this.  Sorry, but as long as you?re exploring, could you take care of it?

TAINTED SUN 2
Oh man, oh man, oh man?

I hope we?re not heading for meltdown?

TAINTED SUN COMPLETE
Some chucklef-

?Er, some moron jammed that into the freakin? Subterranean Sun?!  Man, everyone?s totally lost it!  That coulda nuked us all to the Netherworld!

Thanks for taking care of it.  Maybe you can find some use for whatever that is.  Just keep it away from my reactor!

Kill Yuyuko on Phantasm for this little reward charm.

I'm having kind of a hard time with Remilia. Heart Break is fun to use (enemy archer running away? BAM MOTHERFUCKER), but for a single-target skill the damage isn't impressive for the cost and she can't chain it against enemies that are immune to knockback. While Remi can handle crowd control quite well with Spear the Gungnir she doesn't have a way to deal with bosses since Heart Break is micro-intensive if it can't knock back and too expensive to use repeatedly.

I imagine a fully kitted-out Remilia with Red the Nightless Castle is probably pretty powerful but it's rough trying to get her off the ground. Simbilans are expensive, Mikos get no cash and have equipment with poor stats, and Bloody Parasols don't drop for a while. So I've got lousy gear and not much Blood stat. She'd probably need to be something like level 40 to show her true potential.

For the moment I'd either substantially increase the fire damage on Heart Break or reduce its cost, it's like paying for a nuke but only hitting one guy.

BTW her crit chance doesn't seem to be working right now, I've never seen her crit. The rate on it looks impressive so it'd really help when tapping away at enemies with her spear :V

This is something I should have done right at the beginning of making this mod. I didn't, so now I pay the price for it. Blizzard's base game files are so full of bugs that stuff is bound to go wrong or crash at the slightest touch. Phrozen Keep has a set of these base files that have been thoroughly cleaned of bad coding. I should have started my mod based on those.

Up until 0.64 I didn't run into any major problems with crashes, but now it's become too serious to ignore. I'll effectively have to scour every line in all my mod files as I transfer my changes to the fixed source files. This will put a significant delay in the next update. I can only say making sure this mod is as free of bugs as possible is worth the wait.

After getting all the changes moved over, I'll need to ask you guys to playtest everything again to make sure stuff does what it says it does. For this, I want to make playtesting more organised. Catfish and Stuffman, you two have been giving me dedicated playthrough feedback, can I ask you to keep it up? If anyone else can get in on the playtesting, post what sort of stuff you want to test in the thread. That way we can organize some sort of classes delegation to each playtester.

The delay gives the guys writing up dialogues and skilldescs for me even more time. It'll be best if you post what you write here as I won't always be able to check through it right away.

Thanks to everyone's support and feedback thus far. The end is almost in sight and there's no reason for this project to give up now. I gave my word that we'll have a Touhou mod of Diablo2 and I will deliver it.

Alright cool, glad to see we'll get those crash bugs tidied up.

I'll see if I can get a bunch more equip graphics done for the next update, I've been working on it off-and-on and I'm almost done with Kensei stuff.

I'll playtest again for sure, I wouldn't mind testing Brawler/Miko/Fairy/Hunter again to see if anything changed. Keeping some different weapons and more equipment for respeccing once high enough level is reached makes checking all builds pretty fast.

I like the changes you have been posting too, it nice to have more side content with rewards to go for.

Keep up the great work!
