Diablerie

About

Diablo II is Blizzard's action role-playing game, of which this project is a recreation. Diablerie is an early-stage, work-in-progress recreation of Diablo II built in Unity (C#), using the original game's images and sounds (not redistributed, and not intended for commercial use). It requires the player to already own Diablo II: Lord of Destruction v1.14 and copy over its MPQ data files. The project includes an in-game console for spawning items and monsters and jumping between acts.

How it differs from the original

Diablerie reimplements Diablo II's functionality in the Unity engine with a C# codebase, with a stated long-term goal of separating the 'Engine' from the 'Game' so the engine could support other Diablo-like games; it is explicitly still at a very early stage rather than a full replica.

Getting started

To run Diablerie, download a prebuilt Windows or Linux release and copy several MPQ data files (d2exp.mpq, d2data.mpq, d2char.mpq, and optionally the audio MPQs) from an existing Diablo II: Lord of Destruction v1.14 installation into the Diablerie folder. An in-game console (opened with Enter) supports commands like spawning items or monsters or jumping to a specific act.

Known issues & limitations
