A quick fix for the sound of gold. On top of v0.8.3.

Gold sounds

  • Picking up gold (walking over it) no longer plays the same sound as gold dropping. It now plays one of Diablo II: Resurrected's four gold pile sounds, by the size of the pile (with your gold find). Gold dropping on the ground keeps the original sound.
  • The original Diablo II uses the same sound for both; Resurrected added these pile sounds together with its automatic gold pickup, which the port also has.
  • Resurrected's exact amounts for each pile are not in its files, so the port uses 200, 800 and 3,000 gold. They were chosen from the gold that drops in every difficulty, so that each difficulty sounds one step bigger: mostly the tiny pile in Normal, the small one in Nightmare and the medium one in Hell, with the large one for bosses and high gold find.

Import again to hear them: the four sounds are new files of your copy of the game. Until you import again, picking up gold plays the usual gold sound.
