Abyss Engine is a game engine designed to run games similar to 2000's style ARPGs such as Diablo II. This repository provides the core engine as well as OpenDiablo2, an open-source re-implementation of Diablo II using the engine.

AbyssEngine


We only support users who are using an official and legally owned copy of the original game. If you do not have a copy of the game and/or do not use a Windows computer, it is recommended that you purchase the Windows edition of the Diablo 2 and LOD Expansion from the Blizzard store directly, and install/patch it on another machine, or in a virtual machine in order to obtain the MPQ files.

MPQs/disks downloaded from unofficial sources are not supported - please do not waste developer time on reporting issues involving mods/hacks or illegal obtained MPQs.

Installation

Building from Source

  1. Install vcpkg (don't forget to vcpkg integrate install if you use Visual Studio!)
  2. Either open the CMake project via Visual Studio, or use -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=... option to cmake as described in vcpkg docs in your favorite IDE or shell.

Note for package maintainers: if all the C++ dependencies are found on the system already, vcpkg shouldn't be needed.
