Good work on the new version, I'm having a blast playing Diablo again!
One strange thing I've noticed is that magical items that spawn on the ground disappear when I pick them up. I'm noticed this before when playing previous versions with other people and I just thought it was desync. However, I've only played 5.4A by myself so far in multiplayer mode. Has anyone else noticed this issue?

Hey Ell_man-are you playing on Kali? If so, hope to see you there sometime. The only players I ever see on Kali are Zenda and Arthur Dent:)

Hey Thenryb!
I haven't been on Kali in years. I just downloaded the program again and am in the process of setting it up. I have vista, so I'm not sure if Kali would even work on my computer. If I can get it to work again, I'd love to go for some co-op games again.
I just did a test run and ipx worked when I ran the game from Kali so the tcp/ip wrapper appears to be working. Now I just need to open the kali ports on my router.
BTW, is anyone else having problems with the kali.net forums? All of the posts are blank and there's lots of error code on the bottom of the pages.

Well I try to play it on Kali but am not one to just open a box and sit there waiting. Also, a new development has occurred. I had to replace my old widescreen monitor with a new one. Apparently the new one does not support 1:1 pixel mapping (hope I have the term right)so the NVidia option of scaling with fixed aspect ratio is not working. Therefore, the game is spread all over the screen and has a horrible distorted appearance. So far I have searched the web in vain for a solution.

Hey, good job! :)
A thing that might be nice for us to do at this point would be to communicate with The Hell's modders and ask them if they could make public the source code for the windowed patch (or pillarboxed, high-resolution modes, but us, The Dark lovers, seem more interested in the classic Diablo experience anyway).
Though, in my opinion, if such modes are ever decided by the community to be implemented to The Dark, albeit useful for those playing on LCD monitors, those should on firm principle not in any case be altering the present game experience (or else, The Dark would become something other than "The Dark").

Hey guys. I'm just getting the newest version installed on this computer and I can't find a copy of Ulmo's stash, a wonderful little addition. Can anyone point me toward a working link?

There are no plans for a 'major' release, but we will certainly have a newer version with fixes and a few new features. We still play this game, after all

And it's a great game. I used to play Hellfire / Hellfire fixed but now I've found this great mod, and to think I hesitated! 
By the way, what are the numbers meaning in the unique listing at the guide, like this one:
Short Bow 1 - Gnat Sting 1
War Hammer 5 - Hammer of the Dead 16
Is this iLVL related or something else? 
When you enter a townportal the whole screen (exept for your character and mobs) is black, like your light radius would be -100 or something, what's that about? It also happened when I slaughtered the butcher
Hey, one more thing :
Is it okay / safe to use Ulmo's latest stash in single player now? I've been using it for a while and noticed one bug: I had Magestinger and Dragon's Tooth uniques at the stash (put them there with my barbarian) and I widthraw them with my sorceror. My Magestinger had turned into a Dragon's Tooth (can't remember if they exact stats, the old Magestinger might have had more damage), but otherwise it has been cool.

Those are the item levels, yes.

The Townportal issue is a bug that only occurs in SP. This got introduced in version 5.4, but I'm not sure yet what causes it. It appears to happen only after you've been to a certain place. The Butcher issue is an old bug from Diablo: Knockback attacks can push your character out of it's own light radius. It corrects itself as soon as you take a step.

What you describe is not a problem of Ulmo's Stash.
Normally, when more then one unique item of a given base item exists, only the highest possible level unique item would drop. In SP however, the game drops the lower items if you already found the higher level item in the same game. Such items do revert 'back' upon loading a new game (or retrieving from storage).

Impressive thanks for posting it.
Can you tell me now what monster has the highest chances to drop Wisdoms Wrap? I have been looking for it for quite some time now, without luck.

Will The Dark Guide be updated to reflect the item changes in 5.4a?

Same question.
Don't you think mindcry should be buffed somehow? Right now it's much better to use Wizarspike with shield (I use Shield of Terror).
