Quote:I don't understand what you mean when you say "Not meant for SP" why wouldnt you make a MOD for both SP and MP play?
Mods tend to be biased toward multiplayer for a number of reasons. The first and foremost being most modders, and indeed most Diablo communities, are/were avid multiplayer folk. Modders and their audience didn't want single player.
Secondly, ignoring single player allows modders more freedom. If code relating to SP becomes irrelevant, it can be overwritten and whathaveyou. Notably, you'll have noticed this in the unique items -- only the Butcher's Cleaver remains. Additionally, replacing non-unique quest items (blood stone, anvil, etc.) allows modders to add more base types by replacing old ones. "Breaking" SP elements allows more multiplayer elements.
That's the gist of it.
