macOS Diablo2 tool needs help

[Cromb]

Hey guys!

I started playing Diablo2 a couple of days ago. It's the 20th time in my life.

All the time that I'm playing, I thought about a database system for D2. An offline tool, that manages all my equipment. No need for mule characters anymore. A nice cocoa interface where I can outsource all my equipment into.

There are some tools for windows, but most of them are made to cheat. That's not the intention of this tool. I want to bring more fun into the single player game.

But ObjectiveC and Cocoa are just hobbies for me. I've already create some code that is able to read the character values and some basic equipment infos. But I'm unfortunately not able to build a appealing and handy interface.

I hope that some D2 fans are in here and want to help me on this project. I guess it wont take to long. But it might be fun! So please help!

Regards,
Cromb

Hey BertyBoy!

Thanks for that link! It's a good collection of links. With some programs I've never heard of.
But all of them are totally outdated (made for patch version 1.09 or earlier). Lot's of things have changed since then. And they are made for OS9 only.

Well. I know there aren't many players left, but I hope that one or two will help me. You don't have professional coder! Just some ideas on how to make an interface.
