New Diablo MOD (Hell in Chaos)

I'm starting up a MOD, and was wanting to bounce the idea around. Well, I started it a while back, but have only recently started to really work on it. The only thing I am relying on is the ability to someday add a 5th race. If not, I'll have to axe one of them. Here you go:

The MOD will replace all 4 races (and possibly a 5th) with the baddies from Diablo II. The races (or leaders) are:

Diablo, Lord of Terror
Mephisto, Lord of Hatred
Baal, Lord of Destruction
Andariel, Queen of Corruption
Lord de Seis, Lord of Death

OK, so the last two aren't Prime Evils, but they fit (once you see the unit and building layout). Each team had the primary Leader and two more heroes (ie: Baal, Minion of Destruction, Overseer). Right now all teams are 'written up' 100% with units, buildings and abilities (will post a site with the info soon).

Right now I am working on the building models, and have 11 of the approx 60 modeled (no textures yet). As for characters, I have about 3 of them modeled (no textures yet).

As for the story, well...that's still in the works. Basically, they are fighting to see who will reign over Hell (or something like that).

So, what do you think?

Now all you need is modellers and animators(*COUGH* mdl or hex editing avaible for that right now only).I got diablo gif in my comp and i can get other gifs of units.:D

I'd rather see a hexen mod with Korax, D'Sparil and Eidolon... But I bet this will be cool too. I'm just... more of a Hexen fan.

Hmm... Pretty Good idea... but... If they are all fighting over hell, I suppose Duriel or Belial could take Lord de Seis' place. If you ever played Diablo I, you probably know that Belial (Lord of Lies) and this other Lord Demon Prick (Lord of Something... Jealousy i think... gotta play a bit of Diablo again...) helped Andariel and Duriel kick the Prime Demon's butts outta hell?

But anyways... I would love to help!!! This MOD seems to be great! Just to title of info... I have no ability what so ever in modelling or skinning. I can do terrain, I can make Melee maps, average level cinematics (I would give them a B) and i also have a good level in triggering. I am Learning how to do custom spells also. I can think up and produce campaigns( A campaign in this MOD would be great). Well, if you want my assistance, either post here, either U2U me or e-mail me at [email protected] .

Dorelian is great modeller ://// .just if i would get someone to my home and show me how to model emote_confused :bgrun: ,and skin.

The reason I chose Lord de Seis is because of all the Undead units. I did seriously think about putting Duriel in, not as a main character but as a hero. Duriel just isn't 'cool', if you know what I mean. He's a big worm. =) As for Belial and the other guy, I do remember them mentioned, but I have no artwork or other information on them. Nor do they have units or followers. For now (and things do change) we have these heroes:

Andarial, Dark Stalker, Mistress of the Dark
Lord de Seis, Horadrim Ancient, Skeleton Lord
Baal, Minion of Destruction, Overseer
Mephisto, Council Member, Witch Doctor
Diablo, Warped One, Frost Demon

Only the 'main' characters go by their name, the other heroes have from 4-10+ different names (for multiplayer purposes).

Isn't Lord de Seis the little Skeleton Hero in Diablo's Sanctuary?

Yup. Unfortunatly, there really isn't anyone else in the game that could control the Undead. There is Ancient Kaa the Souless and Radamant, but they are 'Horadrim Ancient'. The only reason I have the Undead in the first place, is that there are so many units. You have your basic skeletons and skeleton archers, the reanimated horde, mummies, zombies, greater mummies, wisps, finger mages, and so on. There are enough to make an entire team (with a few to spare).

The Heroes have to be superuniques, which narrows it down quite a bit. You have Corpsefire, Bonebreaker and Bone Ash in Act I, Radament, Creeping Feature, Dark Elder and Ancient Kaa the Soulless in Act II, nothing in Act III, Lord de Seis in Act IV, Bonesaw Breaker and Achmel the Cursed in Act V. Of these there are skeletons, zombies, mummies, greater mummies, and a reanimated horde. The only memorable characters that I mentiened are Bone Ash (skeleton), Radament (greater mummy), Ancient Kaa (greater mummy) and Lord de Sies (abyss knight). Of these are three types of creatures: Skeleton, Greater Mummy and Abyss Knight. These do not sound 'Heroish' enough, so the Skeleton is a Skeleton Lord, the Greater Mummy is a Horadrim Ancient, and the Abyss Knight is Lord de Seis himself (actually it is possible that Lord de Seis is an Oblivion Knight, I always confuse the two).

Now, one thing I did do though, was to keep a few of the superunique characters in there as upgrades. One of these is Creeping Feature which is an upgrade that increases the speed of your zombies.

As soon as my site gets propogated (sp?) through the web servers, I'll be able to post a link to the site so you can see what's done (kinda long to post it here).

Sounds great :D

sounds ok but what about Duriel??
he's the Lord Of Pain

Well, it seems a few people are wanting Duriel in there. I will do what I can to get him in there. I will see if I can make an etire force for him, but no promises. At the very least, he will be a Hero (just not sure which team).

Another interesting note...using Night Elf buildings as a base is not wise unless you want moving buildings. I made a defensive structure (Orc Burrow as placeholder) that moved to the unit I told it to attack. Not what I wanted, but funny as hell. =)

Another note. It may be possible to add multiple races to an extent. If I allow a 'time period' in which the player can type in which team they would want to play, then they would be switched to that team. ie: I the four races were Terror, Hatred, Destruction and Corruption. The player could choose any of these teams, then within, say, 15 seconds, they could type in 'Team=Death' to be team Death. This is only if it is not possible to add a 5th race into the game the normal way. This could also make it possible for someone to type in 'Team=Pain'. =) The downside to this is that that player will loos a little bit of time, unless the other players are honorable. Perhaps I could put in a timer in which the games is paused for the time allowed for players to change teams. Also, if a player changes teams, it is broadcasted to all the players that 'Player 1 is now Death.'

Cyclone Jack if you don't want DUriel to be a hero, put him on Baal's forces as a hero. In the story, because of his betrayal to the great Demon's, once Diablo returned to power on earth, Andariel and Duriel offered once again their services to them. DIablo banished Duriel to protect for all times the tomb of Tal Rasha, where Baal his brother was imprisioned. Therefore Duriel is more of a slave to Baal.

This is true. As of right now ther Heroes for Destruction are:

Baal
Overseer
Minion of Destruction

Baal, obviously, is there as a Prime Evil and Lord of Destruction.

The Overseer is there because they can do cool things with Minions; this is one of the very unique things about this team. The Overseer himself isn't that powerful, but an Overseer with Minions is a deadly force to be reconned with. Minions, by the way, are the resource gatherers of Destruction.

The Minion of Destruction is that really big nasty that Baal summons in his throne room. While they are damn nasty (and cool lookin to boot), they may be one to be replaced by Duriel. This is of course, if I cannot make Durial with his own team (which, after careful consideration, may be possible; the buildings may be tough though).

Ancient Kaa The Soulless (Unraveler)
Lord De Seis (Oblivion Knight),find more about Unique Demons/Monster in http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/super.shtml ,btw duriel is guard of tal'rasha,baal gave him this duty,but he got much units,he could have hes own side,Ancient Kaa The Soulless is also on his side.

The thing is, Ancient Kaa the Souless (or rather Horadrim Ancient) is being used as a Hero for team Death, which is lead by Lord de Seis. =) Pretty much all superunique monster-types have been taken. I say types because while Ancient Kaa and Radament are both superuniques, they are both Horadrim Ancients (or greater mummies). There are only a handfull of superuniques left, and most of them are 'specials' like Griswold, The Butch and the Sand Maggot Queen (which the queen may be used somewhere in the game). I may pull a few special units from Daiblo I to fill a few holes here and there. It has been a while since I played through Hellfire, perhaps there is something in there I can use.

I guess I'll post a full list of heroes once I get hone tonight to show you what I have there. (my stupid site still isn't up yet)
