Mini map hack?

Some of you may or may not have played Diablo 2 (& Diablo2:Lord of destruction).
In that piticular game there is a mini-map hack that lets you see monsters, enemy players, items, special monsters etc.

Now what i wanna know is this: Would it be possible to incorperate this to CO2?

Also, off topic:
People keep saying that +1 enchanted/bleesed items are server side. My thought i sthat mabe those 3 different items are in a diferent ini (Just like sock items were in D2) again just a thought.....

Errr...I really don't think you'd be able to make it so the minimap shows the monsters and etc because it's just a picture o.O;

And...I'm also pretty sure that people have looked in every single .ini file for the +1/blessed and whatever else is server side items...lol But I r noob =P Nobody cares what I say XD

Its possible to display about 1.5 screen of mobs / players in each direction (Because thats the only thing the server sends to the client) Which is mostly pointless... unless you make a aimbot for tao's and archers... then its useful in some cases (GW for instance :D)

About the +1 / blessed / enchanted: Detailed Properties of items is server side - When you pickup the item - thats the time the client knows the detailed properties mentioned.

Keep up the thinking though - You might stumble on something :)

i thought about what you said, has anybody did a packet check? like look for a common part of a packet for the +1 quality. if this piticular portion of the packet is found, we could make a little packet sniffer/display of items.

Not only will this save time of file editing, and would be undectable since it is a client side only program that send no packets outward.

I don't have a packet sniffer, but can sombody do a test and compare 4 items of the same type and class, and look at 4 other items and compare each. like 4 refine weapon's, compared to 4 refined armor's etc. lets look for the common part of teh packet. I dunno, just a thought.

Also the mini-map hack would be nice for Superman/cyclone peeps :D

One thing I've wondered that may be useful is something that scans your bag so you know to return to town after you've picked up say a rather valuable +1 earring or such.

If i understand all the articles correctly this should theoretically be possible since +1 is determined after you pick it up?

yea its just a picture and the +1's blessed are server sided, even tho if you are a noob we still care about your oppinion and care about what you say

@evulhotdog: That comment was rude... His post was valid.

You cannot lower other members karma or change your own! -.-

Mobs wont show on the minimaps, since you don't get the data of the position of them before you see them. (to test this try to lag your internet and hop around)

if i remember right, the very same thought was mentioned while the DIABLO hacking community was working on the map hack. But they found a way around it.

Now my thoughts about teh lag, i think whenyou go past the 1.5 screen barrior on the server and you recive the new monsters location a bit late. Lets not forget how some who lag liek hell can get past water devils at low lvls, lets say you are NOT in dh form and your speed is normal and your lagging a bit. now you go jummping around past teh 1.5 screen barrior, my guess to teh server your jumping like DH and havn't stoppped long enough infront or near a monster to initiate the attack string. eh, What do i know? I *AM* a nuub after all :rolleyes:

so was diablo's mini map, and both maps show the players position, so theres more to it then "just a picture". :D

well, after the christmas fiasco is over, i am gonna do the comparison my self, got the CO packet sniffer going :D
