Red Rune Mod?

[ron]

I was looking in the trade thread, and keep seeing Red Rune Mod used please offer accordingly.

What is the red rune mod, and how does it effect trade value? What does the mod do for you and where do I get it if it is useful and legit?

Thanks for the replies, I tried the search feature with no success.

The red rune mod was created by a person here ( :scratch: ) at the spf, basically it allows for rune drops to be clearly seen because the text is displayed in red. Some would say it makes trade value untradable, a general consenus is needed for trade value. Its not "legit", so to speak, others support it while others dont, mabye the more knowledgeble ppl of the spf can give u more info than this.

Thanks for the fast reply. I don't think I need that, if I miss a rune because I didn't see it then I should have looked more carefully.

Even though you've made your decsion ron, I want to add a bit...

The RRM was created by somebody *not* from the SPF. It's not available on diabloii.net (no mods are available here). The high majority of trades here are done by members who use no mods, so it would probably be viewed as less than positive to have found items using the mod.

I personally don't use any mods, but I wouldn't fault anyone for using the RRM. All it does is change the color of rune names when they're laying on the ground. To my knowledge it doesn't effect the drop rate of runes or any other item in the game. All it seems to do is fix a problem Blizzard should address in the next patch. After you've just dispatched 40 lil Flayers, the battlefield is a mess and missing a rune, esp. in hell diff. can be upsetting. IMO if you find someone using the RRM very upsetting and accuse them of cheating, you need to check your ballon-knot because most likely its wound tighter than Oprah's fist around a drumstick. Just my opinion, I don't take the game that seriously.

Quite honestly, there is a RRM that I know of, and know the maker and trust them. I have no qualms with this mod being used.

However, it needs to be respected that interraction with others here in the main is mod free.

I have no problem with people using this sort of mod. I probably wouldn't trade, since I generally have a bit of nagging doubt about trades for runes above Fal or so. The policy here is basically (IIRC) that as long as you're honest about any mod(s) you're running, and the community has a chance to decide if they want to trade with you, then anything that gets worked out is fine.

In my humble opinion, it's part of the game that when you've just killed 40 slayers or so, you have to drink all potions and maybe clear a few more items of the screen before you've seen all items. This is also true when you play, for example, in the pits lvl 2. The screen can be filled with items, and since there is a cap, not all items show.

However, when you feel obligued to use the RRM, I actually don't care, but I wouldn't trade with you anymore. (Not that I trade much)

Just my humble opinion on this all.

The need to clean up after a killing spree isn't any less when using the RRM. Only runes that show on screen are displayed in red, so if you see a rune with the RRM active, you could also see it if the mod wouldn't have been active.

I agree with Freekje in that I feel it's part of the game that you have to search through a pile of items to make sure you're not missing anything. I also believe runes are white cos they're meant to be white and Blizzard has had plenty of opportunities to change their colouring if they so desire. These are the reasons why I'd personally never use the RRM, however, if others feel differently I don't see any harm in using the RRM as I know a number of people do. Each to their own, as long as they inform everyone of their use of the mod.
