Diablo II Item Format
for Diablo II v1.13d Expansion Set: Lord of Destruction
Updated June 23, 2012
This file was originally written by Trevin Beattie, whose site is no more (his
latest version of this file is available here though).
Welcome!
Thanks for showing an interest in my Diablo II Item Format page. While you're
browsing, be sure to check out the preview of my game editor for unix+Motif. I
currently have the item editor in development!
Introduction
Having searched the web, I found very few references to the Diablo II .d2s file
format, and most of them covered the old (pre-1.08) version. Diablo II v1.09
has significantly changed the file format. I have started another page which
details the layout of the major parts of the .d2s file. This document focuses
specifically on the item structure — all those pieces of the file tagged "JM".
Rather than describe everything in terms of byte offsets, I'm going to define
the layout as a series of variable-length bit fields. This is a critical part
of the item format, because the position of many of the fields can change
depending on what comes before it. If I say a certain value is a 3-bit field
starting at bit position 150, for example, this translates to bits 6 and 7 of
the byte 18 and bit 0 of byte 19 in the data structure. You can read an
arbitrary bit field programatically using the following code (in C):
#define read_bits(start,size) \
((*((unsigned long *) &data[(start) / 8])
>> ((start) & 7)) & ((1 << (size)) - 1))
Item List Header
An item list begins with the following simple header:
┌────────┬───────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Byte │ Size │ Contents │
│Position│ │ │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│0 │2 chars│Identifier string "JM" { 0x4A, 0x4D } │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │The number of items your character has. This does not │
│2 │16 bits│include gems or jewels which have been glued into socketed │
│ │ │items. │
└────────┴───────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Your item list ends with another 4-byte structure similar to the above, except
the second field is zero (i.e., { 0x4A, 0x4D, 0x00, 0x00 }).
In the Expansion Set, your hireling has his/her own item list. This list is
separated from yours by the 2-character identifier "jf". This is followed by an
item list header for the hireling, and then his/her items. The second item list
is not terminated with the same 4-byte structure as the first; instead, it is
followed by the 2-character identifier "kf".
Item Structure part 1: Simple Items
There are still many fields in the item structure which I haven't figured out
yet, but I'll leave placeholders for them in case I find out what they mean in
the future. All sizes are in bits unless otherwise specified.
┌────────┬───────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Bit │ Size │ Contents │
│Position│ │ │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│29 │1 │This bit is set on items which you have picked up since the │

├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│32 │1 │Item is a Player Ear │
│ │ │Thanks go to Mike of Denmark for identifying this bit. │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │"Newbie" item. This bit is set on the weapon and shield your│
│33 │1 │character is given when you start the game. Apparently, this│
│ │ │gives the item the property of having a repair cost of 1gp, │
│ │ │as well as a sell value of 1gp. │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │Item is simple (only 111 bits {14 bytes} of item data) │

│ │ │meaning of this bit. │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│38 │1 │Item is Ethereal (Cannot be Repaired) │

├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│42 │1 │It looks like this bit indicates the item has been given a │
│ │ │Rune Word. │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│43 │15 │unknown; some of these bits may be set │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │Item location. Actually, I have only seen a few values for │
│ │ │these bits, so I'm not 100% certain of its validity. If you │
│ │ │see any other value here, let me know what it is and where │
│ │ │the item is located. │
│ │ │┌───────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ ││0 │Item is stored (see bit field 73) │ │
│ │ │├───────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤ │
│ │ ││1 │Item is equipped (somewhere on │ │

│ │ ││6 │Item is glued into a socket. │ │
│ │ │└───────────┴──────────────────────────────────┘ │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │If the item is equipped, this field tells where it is. │
│ │ │Possible values are: │
│ │ │┌───────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ ││1 │head (helmet) │ │
│ │ │├───────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤ │

│ │ │Column number of the left corner of the item, counting from │
│ │ │0. Your inventory has ten columns (numbered 0-9), your stash│

│ │ │ │
│ │ │Note: Your belt is considered (for the purposes of the item │
│ │ │format) to have no rows, but either 4, 8, 12, or 16 columns.│
│65 │4 │If you prefer, you can divide this field and use the 2 bits │

│ │ │ │
│ │ │Note 2: If the item is equipped, glued to a socket, or in │
│ │ │transit, then this field appears to contain old data from │
│ │ │the last time the item was stored. I.e., it may be non-zero,│
│ │ │but the value is unused. │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │Row number of the top of the item, counting from 0. Your │
│ │ │inventory has four rows (numbered 0-3), your stash has four │
│ │ │in normal characters or eight in Expansion Set characters, │
│ │ │and the Horadric Cube has four. (In the belt, this field is │
│69 │3 │always zero.) │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │Note: If the item is equipped, tucked in your belt, glued to│

│ │ │Actually, bit 74 seems to always be 0, but since bits 73 and│
│ │ │75 are related I just lump them all together. If the item is│
│ │ │neither equipped nor in your belt, this field tells where it│
│ │ │is. Possible values are: │
│ │ │┌───────────┬──────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ ││0 │not here (check bit field 58) │ │
│ │ │├───────────┼──────────────────────────────────┤ │

├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │Item's type. The type is 3 lower-case letters or numbers │
│ │ │followed by a space; e.g., "amu " (Amulet) or "2hs " │
│ │4 chars│(Two-Handed Sword). I have started a list of item │
│76 │(8 bits│identifiers (not posted; sorry), but it is by no means │
│ │ea.) │complete; I'm sure I don't even have half of what's out │
│ │ │there! │
│ │ │Warning: This field is not byte-aligned! It starts in the │

│ │ │inserted. │
└────────┴───────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Item Variant: Player Ears
The following information was provided by Mike of Denmark.
If the item is a Player Ear, its structure is slightly different than the
Simple Items above. The last two fields in the Simple Item structure are
replaced by the following:
┌────────┬───────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Bit │ Size │ Contents │
│Position│ │ │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │Character class of the ear's former owner. The defined │
│ │ │classes are: │
│ │ │ 0 Amazon │
│ │ │ 1 Sorceress │
│76 │3 │ 2 Necromancer │
│ │ │ 3 Paladin │
│ │ │ 4 Barbarian │
│ │ │ 5 Druid (Expansion character only) │
│ │ │ 6 Assassin (Expansion character only) │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│79 │7 │Character level of the ear's former owner. │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│86 │7 │First character of the former owner's name. │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│93 │7 × N-1│Second character of the former owner's name; Repeat until │
│ │ │you get the whole name (15 characters maximum). │
├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│86 + 7 ×│7 │0 (this indicates the end of the name) │
│N │ │ │
└────────┴───────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Following the end of the name, the rest of the final byte will be padded with
0's if necessary, and the Player Ear structure ends there.
Item Structure part 2: Extended Items
By "extended items" I mean any items which are not simple. Simple items are
those which need no further information than that given above — such as gems,
potions, and small quest items — and their structure length is fixed at 14
bytes. Everything else has an extended structure with a possibly variable
length set of bit fields. First, I'll describe the part of the structure that
appears to be the same for all extended items. From that point on, there will
be no more "bit positions"; only "this field follows that field, if it exists".
┌────────┬───────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

├────────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │ │Unique identifier. Diablo II randomly generates a value for │
│ │ │this field in order to discourage cheaters from "duping" │
│111 │32 │items. Supposedly, if it detects more than one extended item│

After the above data, if the item is a ring, amulet, jewel, or charm, then it
has a 1 bit followed by three more bits. All other items (that I've seen) have
just a single 0 bit.

Magically Enhanced Item Data
[Sturdy_Spi] Magically enhanced items have two 11-bit fields representing the
item's prefix and suffix. Either one (but not both) may be omitted. The prefix
and suffix each are used in choosing the magical enhancements for an item
(although the enhancements are modifiable), and can also increase the minimum
level required to use them item and affect the item's color.

Item Structure part 3: Magical Enhancements
Item Structure part 2^bis: Set Item Data Revisited
Items which are part of a set have an additional 5 bits following the
item-specific data.
┌───────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Size │ Contents │
├───────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │This appears to be an indicator of how many lists of magic │
│ │properties follows. The first list are the properties the │
│5 │item has if you do not have any other members of the set. │
│ │Following lists are applied once you equip other items in the│
│ │set. The value is 1 if there are two (total) property lists, │
│ │or 3 if there are three property lists. │
└───────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Following the item-specific data are a variable number of variable length bit
fields describing any magical enhancements placed on the item. Each property
begins with a 9-bit identifier. An identifier of 0x1FF (all 1's) indicates the
end of the property list ... except in the event the item belongs to a set, in
which case there will be another one or two groups of magical properties
following, depending on whether the set item data (above) is 1 or 3,
respectively. Also, if an item has been given a Rune Word, it appears that the
Rune Word's properties begin with a 0x1FF identifier (presumably to set them
apart from the item's normal properties... but I need to examine more items to
be certain.)
Because the number of bits (and fields) after the 9-bit identifier varies, I do
not give a field width here. Instead, check my table of magic properties for
field sizes. I'm sure it's not complete, but it does have most of the common
properties.
Following the last 9-bit value of 0x1FF, the rest of the final byte will be
padded with 0's if necessary, and the item structure ends there. For example,
if the item had 341 bits of data, the last (43^rd) byte will be 0x1F. If the
item had 248 bits of data, the last (31^st) byte will be 0xFF.
