This whole thread I can't tell if it's the best troll or not and unfortunately hard to disprove since I console play now. I've been around Diablo 2 long time, talked often with alot of the people who were known for 'discovering' shit back in the day so an overflow makes sense but it also doesn't.

Based off what's ive read 2 things have been said

Supposedly the TP does damage, and because it's a skill it must be in the skills.txt mpq file(or whatever they use now for d2r since all the data is in the actual executable). But that makes no sense unless someone fat fingered it and put damage on it, which would need range too.

Then also I saw a post where it just fills the tiles and thats why the mobs die. That doesn't make sense either because if the TP did that there is no reason Baals minions would spawn at all based off the videos i saw You'd literally be buffer overflowing the tiles, there wouldn't be room for them to spawn.

Anyways again, great troll if so, but i unfortunately only play on console now so I unfortunately can't easily disprove.

has anyone tried it on uber ancients? Which jewel do you get when all three die on the same frame? There has to be an order to it right? Depending on which jewel drops this could make or break the build for uber ancients. I mean nobody wants to farm poison/fire only

Good thread

i have taken to bm pking warlocks on my portal barb. fuck the warlock barbs reign supreme. im drunk but this shit is so funny they have noo idea whats hapening

Just did my first Uber run with mine. I got the fire and then poison jewel, but I believe they're both on the same Uber, right? So the same Uber ancient died on the same frame both times. Might be a distance thing or just pure luck.

There were a lot of posts speculating about it early on in this thread and somewhere in the middle is when people got on the discord and actually tested and went through the code looking for wtf was happening
We thought it was something based on failing to spawn because of collision being filled up- the logical conclusion because it clearly only applied in a 'circular aoe' centered on the TP- but nope its an overloaded collision detection call that is causing the rest of the lines its in to fail to execute when the stack is supposed to return to it from inside the function, and that causes memory belonging to enemies to be bitshifted a few bits at a time, that function is called multiple times and eventually everything is moved over 20 bits. An hp value of 573710 in binary becomes 0, so the monsters die. And we still have no idea how the memory corruption is affecting the rest of the monster stats but its clearly messing with treasure class / drops.
