Hi

I think it will be the interesting project that helps you to run Diablo on Linux/Mac OS X (Intel):

Freeablo has the website and forum.

http://freeablo.org/

http://freeablo.org/forum/

You can observe changes in the source code of this project hosted at GitHub:

https://github.com/wheybags/freeablo

https://github.com/wheybags/freeablo/issues
https://github.com/wheybags/freeablo/pulls

Finally, I want to inform you that you can watch video for the upcoming version 0.3 of this game:

Quoting: wolfyrionah nice didnt know about that , is also available on AUR , thanks :)

I did not know that someone made the package for Arch Linux, and I can see the comment of the author on this website who created Freeablo. Unfortunately, I did not see this information in the file readme..

"As it says, v0.3 finally released.

Big features this time round are level 3 level generation, and some cool new gui stuff from knopka90 and Exairnous.

Im hoping that for v0.4 I can get a start on combat and multiplayer, so it should be a more exciting one (a lot of the stuff in this release is a bit “invisible” to end users). I’m also gonna try actually write something on here a bit more often, keep it updated with project status and the occasional general interesting gamedev bit I run into.

Anyway, (slightly less) crappy video, and changelog below:


Changelog:

- Bugfix - monsters spawn on level stairs #112
- Threading refactor #107
- Hotkey selection GUI #106
- level 3 dungeon generation #103
- UI chroma key transparency #96
- UI animation #95
- Bugfix - gui clicks register as movement clicks #88
- Initial version of launcher #33
- sound #26
- better celview gui #134
- Bugfix - music memory leak #111
- Bugfix - exit when DIABDAT.MPQ not found #114, #115"

The author of this project has started to implement the multiplayer mode, and I also noticed that Freeablo has become the more actively developed project which is a good news:

Hi

I want to inform you that on this website are four different branches:

https://github.com/wheybags/freeablo/branches

I notice that the mp (multiplayer) branch usually has the newest version of Freeablo, and you can type this command if you want to download the source code of Freeablo from this branch:

git clone -b mp https://github.com/wheybags/freeablo.git

Very OT, but this cool FOSS project that is similar to Diablo needs new main developer:
https://www.panda3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17300
also comment here if you want to contribute:
http://forum.freegamedev.net/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6718

It's written in Phython via the very nice and easy to use Panda3D engine.

Hi

I want to inform you that the mp (multiplayer) branch was removed from this website.

You can download the source code of Freeablo from the master branch if you need a more stable version of this game. However, I want to point out that this version does not have implemented dialogues in the game.

However, one of the programmers is actively working to solve this issue, and you can type this command if you want to download the source code of Freeablo from his branch

git clone -b dialogue https://github.com/konopka90/freeablo.git

The author made some changes in Freeablo, but this information is probably the most interesting for users:

"Hey, so not much has been happening in the past month or so because work was pretty hectic for me and I had no free time to work on freeablo.
The good news is that has changed. MP is pretty close to done, expect a proper video of that soon.
Also, the forums were absolutely inundated with spam, that’s been fixed now, and hopefully won’t happen again, as I’ve enabled captchas for signup."
