Diablo - Game Mod - The Hell 3 v.1.248 - Download

Diablo: The Hell 3 is a mod for Diablo, created by Mordor_XP. If you end up enjoying this Project please consider supporting it through Patreon.

Description:

The mod is the successor to the popular projects The Hell and The Hell 2. Like the post-predecessors of the series, The Hell 3 aims to thoroughly improve the game, but it introduces changes much larger and more thorough than the previous parts. You can expect more gameplay features, more difficulty modes, more new content, more gameplay and cosmetic options, deeper character customization and better support for multiplayer and PvP.

What does TH3 offer in addition to what was created for TH2?

1. more fixes to engine,
2. quests with additional dungeon levels ported to multiplayer (with map adjustments),
3. certain bosses dropping some iconic unique items,
4. improvements to character info window,
5. more balance polishing,
6. increased caps to character level, spell level and character stats,
7. 9 difficulties (used to be 3),
8. new (tier 2) base items,
9. new (and expanded) perks and synergies,
10. improved item sorting logic (looting),
11. improved magic find with a higher limit (more chances to get uniques/rares),
12. increased item durability caps and upgraded durability oils,
13. new subclass builds (Mamluk, Pistoleer),
14. more quests that didn't make it into original game (9 new quests added),
15. more monster AI types,
16. more monsters,
17. more unique monsters (including new special quest bosses),
18. hundreds of new unique items
19. new game type (Coliseum) where all progress is made through duel

In addition, the mod offers all the improvements of the first and second The Hell. So it fixes most of the bugs and shortcomings left by the original developers. It also bumps up the difficulty level and improves the artificial intelligence of enemies. On top of that, it comes with a new engine that replaces the one from the basic version of the game. It allows the game to be played in resolutions up to 4K, in screen or windowed mode and at 60 frames per second. The mod also restores functional multiplayer. It adds a ton of new items, spells, items, monsters and bosses. It introduces literally thousands of new missions and allows you to play as many as 29 hero classes. On top of that, it offers four difficulty levels.

Installation:

The Hell 3 requires Diablo 1. GOG sells it these days. You can check www.gog.com and buy your copy of Diablo 1 there. Then you will be able to play TH3 mod.

I recommend creating a separate folder, name it TH3 and copy "DIABDAT.MPQ" file there (you can find it in the Diablo folder). Install the mod in that new folder, unpack it and run TH3.exe.

Do not forget to download and unpack music files to the game folder, without it many areas will have no music.

When you upgrade, just download new version to your game folder, unpack the archive and replace all files. And you are all set.

How to update? Go to main site of the mod (see Links section in this readme below). Scroll down to Downloads section. If you are a patron, hit My membership tab. Scroll down until you see 'Downloads and Info'. Click on 'Show more'. And scroll down some more until you see Downloads section. You will see currently available version number and download link there.

-=Configuration=-

Configure game by altering settings in config.ini file. You can find it in your TH3 directory. All the lines have comments and should be self-explanatory.

Resolution. The mod works with resolutions from 800x600 all the way up to 3840x2160 (4K). But I strongly recommend playing in 1056x594 (or 1440x810 with zoom). It’s the best way to experience full atmosphere. At least, not above 1280x720. The game is not texture based, it’s pixels. Greater resolution doesn’t render higher quality picture, it just increases field of view.

You can switch fullscreen to windowed (and vice versa) mode by pressing "Alt + Enter" while in game (not meta-menu, the actual game!). Warning! Starting game in fullscreen mode can take a while, it might give you black screen for about a minute, you will just need to wait (we will fix that in future).

When you start TH3 in window mode, you can not move around game window while in meta menu. It will be possible to move around game window, minimize it, maximimze - when you are in actual game (when your character is in Tristram or in dungeons).

Let's review your options when it comes to window mode (set fullscreen ...). There are four: 1) on, 2) off, 3) winon, 4) winoff. So what is the difference?

Windowed modes (winoff, off) and borderless window (winon) provide better support for higher framerate rendering (game looks smoother). Fullscreen (on) offers better perfomance.

"Winoff" and "off" are essentially the same. The difference: winoff Alt+Enters to borderless window (and back). And "off" Alt+Enters to fullscreen. Which modes I recommend? "Winoff" or "winon".

Note: the mod does not have any music. In order to change this and listen to the enhanced versions of the songs, you need to download an add-on called Diablo: The Hell 3 Music Expansion.
