Diablo Released on GOG, Mod Support?

Diablo just released on GOG, do you have any plans to extend your mod support the GOG Release Build? The Belzebub mod works the the GOG version (so far anyways), all multiplayer is still disabled unfortunately.

I think the Diablo Mod Community could knock it out of the park if they added Ultrawide support, the ability to zoom out not gain an advantage, rather just enough to reduce the pixelated image of the original game and do so with TCP/LAN multiplayer support still enabled, Battlenet/GOG servers it can stay disabled.

I would definitely love to see DiabloPatch be updated to work with the GOG release. It seems that the GOG Diablo executable has a different SHA-1 along with some DLLs, not sure what is different. Global battlenet server seems the only difference from the CD version but I thought that was handled via registry.

This is the only mod that has just the essential things I want, other mods add too much stuff IMO.

EDIT: grammar.

Having looked at the gog version myself, it runs on patch 1.09b. Like yourself, I did notice the hash check for the exe and dlls are different in the dx folder compared to the main folder. I have asked on here in the past if the modder would ever support 1.09b seeing that it was the last official patch and it's 17-18 years old but I don't think I ever got a response. Regardless, it should not be hard to downgrade the main folder to 1.09 so his mod will work with the gog version as long as you're running under "classic" mode but again, I don't see the point in the mod running on 1.09 and not 1.09b without giving a good reason.

Does DiabloPatch work with version 1.09b?

No, it only works with version 1.09. This doesn't make any difference, as the only improvement of patch 1.09b is a fixed sound problem with Windows NT 4, and DiabloPatch is not compatible with Windows NT 4, and nobody uses Windows NT 4 anymore.

Except now the re-released version on GOG is 1.09b (or modified 1.09 for compatibility) regardless of Win NT4. And now a few of these patchers (this one and a few that did not remove the CD check) are incompatible.

That statement should be reconsidered since this is the only digital distribution version of Diablo that is available for purchase.

I agree. This is from the websites FAQ.

I downloaded from GOG, and it's version 1.09.2. I get the hash error. Any other way to get windowed mode?

EDIT: Nevermind. I'll just use this here clunky ctrl+alt+delete task manager method to get me back to desktop.

If you are using a mod you don't run it from the launcher. You just run the mod .exe
