New version of Diablo Interface is here with bug fixes and stuff. I'd like to use it during my runs, but just want to make sure that it will be allowed since current rules specify version 0.4.

currently there is no runs, that get close to using the classic -> convert to LOD strat.

I do have these https://www.speedrun.com/d2lod/run/z1jk579z https://www.speedrun.com/d2lod/run/z57wej5m

Thanks, blazer! This guide was really useful at getting my barb runs going.

I think going dexterity isn't worth it. Points feel better spent in more life or even extra energy. Also wanted to ask what's the reason for level 3 Double Swing?

I took a closer look at this image https://imgur.com/a/WRR8LFi and it doesn't seem entirely correct. There are more than 3 configurations for each town.

For example here are all top left town with right turn Blood Moor configurations. First configuration is same as described in the original post https://imgur.com/a/qUp6tIi

Top left town » right turn BM » right turn CP » left turn DW » right turn BM » left TH Top left town » right turn BM » straight CP » left turn DW » straight BM » straight TH Top left town » right turn BM » left turn CP » left turn DW » left turn BM » right turn TH

Top left town with straight BM also has 3 different configurations and same goes for the left turn BM. Top left town alone has 9 total possible configurations.

I do focus a lot on the top exit right turn map. Connections like these are definitely thing for all towns. Thanks for generalizing what's happening here, BokserKabaty!

I just realized I've been trying to find a connection for a lot of the underground levels (like passage, catacombs, sewers). Maybe I'm trying too hard to connect it with the ground areas. So far there are a lot of ground area connections between different acts, but underground levels seem to do their own thing. What if all these underground levels have their own connections with each other?

Something to think about, I'll look into it and reset some maps.

At first I used this town because I liked the waypoint and town exit positions, but as time went on tpscrollbot discovered act 1 generation patterns and an interesting connection in act 4. Since then it has advanced a little further and I feel like a lot more is to come.

I'm going to attempt to write down all the knowledge I have about this and hope together we can make more discoveries.

Patterns in Act 1: Act 1 starting areas have fixed exit positions all the way to Outer Cloister waypoint based on town exit and turns in Blood Moor/Cold Plains.

I believe the fastest one to be top exit town with right turn Blood Moor and right turn Cold Plains. This is the map most of my records use.

Helpful images: https://imgur.com/a/qUp6tIi » Right turn Blood Moor gives a quick entrance to Cold Plains (no bridge). » Cold Plains has to turn right for this setup to work. Luckily it seems to be the most common one. I reset if I don't get this.

Rest is always the same: » Passage always spawns as a hole in the middle. This setup is faster compared to a wall hole spawn. » Dark wood has a fast exit to Black Marsh. » Black Marsh never has a bridge in the middle. Exit spawns bottom right. » Outer Cloister waypoint is a nice short walk away from Black Marsh. » Outer Cloister waypoint always in the same position.

Confirmed Connections in other acts: » Kurast Bazaar entrance is always in the left corner. (Thanks, BloodRaven!) » Quick right corner Plains of Despair entrance seems very common, but just keep going straight if it didn't spawn there. » Plains of Despair entrance never spawns on the left side.

Connection with Outer Steppes and Arreat Plateau (Thanks, BokserKabaty!) » Quick right exit to Outer Steppes in Plains of Despair always gives top right oriented Arreat Plateau » Straight exit to Outer Steppes always gives top left oriented Arreat Plateau

Unconfirmed, but plausible » Top left and top right Arcane Sanctuary appears to be much more common than bottom Arcanes.

Are you sure your LiveSplit source is above the d2 client source in OBS?
