Description

Currently documented bugs: The DSF Buglist for Diablo v1.09 (Lurker Lounge)

The goal of this issue is to document any new bugs we come across while examining the code that are native to the original game. This will help us fix them later on when we make mods/ports.

New bugs discovered (last update 06/24/18)

  • When casting a town portal in a quest level, leaving, and then going down into the dungon, the town portal will be placed in the dungeon. For example, Chamber of Bone is quest level 2, so the portal would appear on dungeon level 2 at the same X/Y coordinate.
  • Diablo is supposed to be immune to the squelch radius, however, the game checks the AI for Diablo's monster type, thus always failing. monster.cpp -> ProcessMonsters
