Wineskin Mac Diablo 2



Wineskin creates a wrapper around Wine in the form of a normal Mac Application. The wrapper can also be used to make a distributable 'port' of software. Odin, a project to run Win32 binaries on OS/2 or convert them to OS/2 native format. The project also provides the Odin32 API to compile Win32 programs for OS/2. In Wineskin.app go to Advanced and set the Windows EXE to D2VidTst.exe (in the same directory as Diablo II.exe). Launch Diablo II.app and you should get a config application, either run the test or skip it if you can to select a working renderer from the list. Change the Windows EXE back to Diablo II. Diablo 2 had a large transparent minimap, that covered the centre of the screen. It showed the player various important places, such as Waypoints, Shrines and caves. In addition to the transparent overlay, there was also an option to have the minimap condensed and situated in the upper-corner of the screen. Right click on your Diablo II desktop icon. Left click on the shortcut tab. Enter the code in the target line after the quotes. Make sure there is a space between each code, and a space between the last quote and first code. These codes currently work as of the 1.11b patch.

This article is about the mercenaries from Diablo II. Were you looking for the Diablo III Followers?

Hirelings are mercenaries that can be hired to aid the player during the course of the game. In Diablo II Classic they were temporary companions that could be hired to accompany the player throughout one act. The Rogue and Iron Wolf could also be obtained as quest rewards. However, hirelings did not follow the player outside the acts they were hired in.

In the Lord of Destruction expansion pack, Hirelings were improved with radical changes. They could level up along with the player and accompany them throughout all acts and difficulties. They also had a new stats screen and the player could equip them with items to further enhance their stats. All hirelings can equip body armor and helms, and different weapon types can be equipped depending on the hireling (listed below). Hirelings are not able to equip Class-specific Items, with the exception of the Barbarian who can equip Barbarian Helms and armor that has the Barbarian class requirement (such as the body armor with the 'Myth' runeword enchantment). No hireling can be equipped with rings, amulets, boots, gloves, or belts.

Rumors

The lack of an Act IV Hireling led to rather ridiculous speculations related to a non-existent hidden Act IV Hireling: The Angel. The Angel was described to use Hadriel's base structure and did not walk, but levitated above the ground. They were said to use Cold and Lightning Spells. It was even said that the Angel was showcased by the presence of Hadriel. Because these rumors spread before the expansion, there are no details on what they could equip.

The rumors said that the Angel could be obtained by completing certain meaningless tasks, mostly on Hell difficulty. They included:

  • Talking to Hadriel or Tyrael a certain number of times
  • Defeating Diablo in Hell difficulty a certain number of times
  • Defeating the The Cow King a certain number of times (requires another player's aid because the Secret Cow Level portal cannot be reopened by the character who killed the King)
  • Giving the Jade Figurine/Golden Bird to Tyrael or Hadriel
  • Not talking to Tyrael after freeing him in Tal Rasha's Chamber (you cannot complete Act II without talking to him)

3A. To create your RWM shortcut, right-click your wrapper, click 'Show Package Contents,' and open up 'Wineskin.' Hit 'Advanced,' and under the tab labeled 'Tools,' hit 'Custom .EXE Creator.' Type '-direct -txt' into the '.EXE Flags' field, name the shortcut, and apply any screen options you'd like to set.

3B. Alternatively, if you'd like RWM to stay enabled at all times, simply right-click the wrapper, click 'Show Package Contents,' and open up 'Wineskin.' Hit 'Advanced', and type in '-direct -txt' in the '.EXE Flags' field.
