You need to try to connect to and get the latest update, even if you can't play on you can still get the patch from them. So don't worry about portforwarding or any of that other crap that people try and throw at it. Diablo 2 has trouble with it's revision ID.

You both need that patch in order to join each others games, even if it says you're running the same version, you're not. If you or your friend has tried to get on recently even without success, they were probs forced to download a patch. The problem lies in LoDs version identification. And downloading hamachi is totally pointless cos all it does is tunnel your LAN to another network, which is just a virtual local network, again totally pointless if you own a router. Port forwarding only applies to external requests outside the firewall. Whoever says you need to forward ports for diablo LoD to work on a LAN game is totally wrong and needs to go learn about computers and networking. I signed up to this site just to solve this. Let me know if that makes sense, haha.This is an old thread, but obviously a persisting problem. Found out where the first call of these 60 were made, then followed the base address of the item to see how it was made, and just worked off of that. I then left the Code Filter open, started it on these 60 values, and just placed a breakpoint on a random one here, to see where the initial call was to build these items.

Modified some values in there, and with experience on looking at how items were in this game through an inventory pointer that holds my items, I found out these were the items in a lot of these calls registers when setting a breakpoint on them and generating an item. After getting those 60 or so calls, I went through and analyzed what each of them were doing, looked at the registers and the stack and saw points of what appeared to be a base address. I used vendors as a test for this, since I could quickly open up a menu to get an item to generate before crashing. What I had done, is used the Code Filter with the Trace function, which had obvious crashes. I stared at disassembly and experienced many crashes with the Code Filter before finally getting a good method. I will mention, this took me on and off banging my head against a wall since I'm so new, probably about a week or so. Yeah, I would be more than happy to explain my process. Would you be so kind to elaborate on how did you find the loot rarity instruction? I can't imagine how people narrow down such a search.

Thank you! Hoping to do more like this in the future, was a ton of fun.

Diablo 2 and lod
