Any news on BH item code fix?

You know, the massive spam whenever you hover over a gem bag or such.
Not being able to use Sting's due to issues is painful enough, this just adds even more annoyance.

So, what's the latest? Any fix incoming?
Thanks.

 

use string for now

 

I'm a male so I'll pass on that
Jokes aside, myself and others have issues running sting MH without crashes.
So we're forced to use BH.

 

I can only speak from the coding side of things and know nothing of the staffs intentions.
BH maphack pulls its item info from the D2Common.dll file directly - this file has NOT been edited on this server. (No need as it is done via Patch).
Any custom items will not have advanced item display capabilities without updating the BH.dll used by the maphack, or the D2Common.dll used by the game. (This can be done fairly easily theoretically)

I will discuss providing an update to the maphack with this issue altered/removed to staff. No promises can be made on their behalf for the implementation of this modification however.
Barring waiting for an update in that regard; you have 1 option while continuing to use BH maphack:
Turn advanced item Display off - You will lose some the benefits of BH, but you won't have the messages being displayed anymore

 

Thank you for the replies.
Yes Gix, I had issues with both the integrated version and standalone version of Sting's. But I'll try it again in the near future, who knows, windows can be weird at times.
Really curious as to what makes it work properly for some but not for others. I Tried things like installing the 2005 distributables, editing the 3dfx mod step by step etc.

Indeed RandAlThor, Like you said it only does that with advanced item display enabled. (so yeah on the default version too once you enable it)
Thanks for going into the details (both), I get curious and that was interesting.

In the end the spam isn't that big of a deal really, just a minor annoyance. I'm glad it's been looked at and will wait patiently to see if there's ever a workaround.

I'll just use it like this until then. Atleast the spam doesn't crash the game, things could be worse. And the occasional spam is better than not having an item filter

Thanks again.
