It's honestly easier just to have the GOG version and run it in their DirectX wrapper with their presets. Also, how would this impact the game's difficulty? Would it require re-balancing?Īs far as I can tell the only active project working on this (without modifications) is Devilution which is disassembling Diablo's executable, a fairly grey area legally speaking, and making it run on modern systems. That means it'd take a pretty drastic rewrite of the original Diablo for it to be compatible with modern systems as it has to support new resolutions and take those resolutions into account for the AI system to work as you'd expect it, because having demons in sight and have them just stand there detracts from the experience slightly. Below there is short demonstration that presents some of the game features.The way Diablo and Diablo 2 are written, the enemy AI doesn't activate until its just out from the viewable screen, which is forced to 4:3 (because at the time almost all common monitors were 4:3 and it made sense to make do it like this).


So i will try to hook him up with Diablo 1 HD asap.Īnd if you´re just as excited about Diablo 1 HD as my dad, then you can download the latest version (v1.042) via the games homepage (don´t forget to download the v1.045 patch as well!)īelzebub is code name of modification project, which will probably be most advanced Diablo 1 mod.įor now project is in open beta phase (single player). Because it´s full of new features, HD graphics, 2 new classes (Barbarian and Assassin), improved user interfaces and much more!Īnd when i told my dad about this (his a huge Diablo fan) he just exploded of excitement. Diablo 1 HD is probably the most advanced Diablo 1 mod yet.īut it´s closer to the truth to call Diablo 1 HD a remake of Diablo really.
