Notes

  • You can also hover the mouse over an aspect in the overlay to show it's tooltip.
  • To use the OCR you have to turn on the compare item and advanced tooltips options.
  • The OCR works best in Full Screenmode, otherwise the screen coordinates won't be precise.
  • Place your custom aura styles in img\icons\variants. I recommend to not save as the default names like autorun_2 or aura_2, but something like aura_custom_x..,to prevent them beeing overwritten after unpacking a new version.
  • For a more detailed changes list check out the change logs on Nexus.
  • To import/export your builds just copy paste the .build files.
  • You may have to restart the tool after setting an offset and the timer got stuck.

Installation

  • Unzip and start D4.exe
  • Setup the hotkeys to your likings
  • Get the Affix/Aspects lists under File > Update.. first.
  • Use the hotkeys in game to use the functions.
  • The overlay will be active until you close with X or use File > Exit

Gauntlet Map overlayYou can make your own gauntlet map with paths and place them in the img\gauntlet folder to show them in an overlay and cycle through the paths through a hotkey. (Screenshots in the image gallery)
Please note that you have to create your own maps, the included one is just a sample.
The Download Map button will download the current Gauntlet map frompurediablo.com, this is always a .jpg without trimmed transparancy.
When the site is not up to date, you're welcome tocontribute the weekly Gauntlet map in the gauntlet-map channel on discord.

All maps have to be put in the img\gauntlet folder!

  • Create your base Gauntlet map without any paths and save it as map.png ormap.jpg (but only .png files can have transparency).
  • Create additional maps with individual run paths and save them as map1.png, map2.png and so on.
  • In the "Gauntlet Planer" tab you can click on "Show base map" to see the base gauntlet map.
  • Click on "+" and select all other maps to add them to the list. "-" to delete selected map (if you have 4 maps and delete number 3, then you have to rename 4 to 3, otherwise you'll get an error message since 3 doesn't exist.
  • Set a hotkey for "Cycle through Gauntlet maps"
  • In game you can use that hotkey to cycle through the maps.
  • Use the Show Gauntlet map hotkey to show or hide the current map.

Missing an Affix and multilanguage support.

  • You can add them now onGitHub.In 2.0.1 you can choose either german or english for the affixes and OCR. Keep in mind that german is WIP.
  • To add a missing affix e.g. for english, feel free to go to the github site and add the missing affix in AffixesEnglish, the sames goes to other localizations.
  • After changes submited, just reselect the item slot and the list will be up to date.
  • The language changes will only affect affixes and the OCR scan. I haven't tested it for other languages but it should work same as english.



Skill overlay indicator setup

  • Enable in Options > Optional overlays > Skill indicator
  • Enable "Setup Skill overlay" in the settings.
  • You will switched to the game, move the box to match the skill slots 1-6
  • Place the boxes at the top of the skill icons like in the screenshot.
  • Press Shift+F2 to create the check images for each slot.

The indicators should instantly showing up.

  • You can make your own overlay icons by replacing Skillx.png in img\icons\.
  • To disable just delete Skill_Check_x.png. If you want to reenable it then just redo the setup steps.

IMPORTANT

If the setup boxes doesn't match the skill slot size,then add these lines to the config.ini and set a custom size value, which will overwrite the available settings.

[SkillSetup]
Skillh=xx
Skillw=xx
Skilloffset=xx

Changes will be applied on the fly once saved. To switch back to the available resolutions either delete everything from the ini or set ERROR as value e.g. Skillh=ERROR.

Gear Planer

-Keep in mind, that there's no item slot check for Barbarian weapon aspects, so you can put any aspects in any weapon slots.

How to set a custom build for the Gear Planer

  • Select a class, enter a build name and click on Add
  • Select your build from the "Build List" and an Item Slot
  • In the "Affix List" double click an affix you want to add to the "Wanted List".
    You can also select a slot in the wanted list to replace the affix.
    If no wanted slots are selected the affixes will be added to the wanted list in order.
    You can click on the selected slot to unselect it.
  • Select an Unique or Aspect from the Aspects/Uniques List and double click to add
  • Double click in the Wanted List to remove the affix/aspect

You can use arrow up/down to cycle forward or backward the search results.
Gear & OCR Overlay

  • Set the correct screen resolution under "Options > OCR Screen Resolution"
  • Set a hotkey for "Toggle Gear Planer" and "OCR Item check".
  • Make sure to enable the items compare function in game.
  • Use the "Toggle Gear Planer" hotkey and select your build (upper left corner).
  • Use the "OCR item check" hotkey to perform a OCR check on an item. You'll hear a beep scan once the scan is complete, optionally you can turn the sound off under "Options > Notification sounds".
  • If the overlay overlaps the scan box, then turn the overlay off first before the scan.
  • When the affixes matches with the list, it will be highlighted green, otherwise red.
  • Keep in mind that sometimes it's a hit and miss, and you may reuse the OCR check a few times.

Minimap projection

You can setup the minimap projection, to toggle on the minimap as a transparent layer in the middle screen. The default settings are set for the 1440p resolution.

Setup instructions

  • Click on Setup Minimap.
  • Resize the window frame to a size just a bit smaller than the in game minimap and place the window frame inside the actuall minimap like in the picture gallery.
  • Close to set the size and position.
  • Set a hotkey to toggle on the minimap and turn it on.
  • Set your desired zoom factor (default is 1.5) and adjust the vertical position, or x and y offset to match the projection to the overlay layer.

Max combo point indicator

You will see a combo point indicator in the middle of the screen, if you have max combo points.
How that works is, that the script is checking for the picked color of the 3rd combo point. If it matches the set color, the indicator will show up.

Setup instructions (1.0+)

  • Go to "Menubar > Options > Optional overlays" and enable "Combo points indicator".
  • Get 3 combo points in game
  • Put the mouse cursor over a yellow color tone of the 3rd combo point
  • Press Shift+F1 to set the color.

Troubleshooting

-If you have FPS drops on an AMD GPU, then you may have "Interger Scaling" enabled. This has to be turned off for Diablo IV.
-It's recommended to set the Max Background FPS to at least 60 to prevent stutters, because some overlay act as separate windows, which run in foreground so that the game acts like in background.
-Restore default settings if you notice something weird in the settings.
-It is possible that the D4 overlay is randomly crashing. If you notice no overlay or hotkeys are working, then that may be the case so just restart the tool.
