I rewrote hard.dat... and survived. Download link within
Mimifish said a month ago that he was working on a new Skeleton that would include a re-write of hard.dat and a much-improved dink.ini. With mimifish in Taiwan, and the fact that he didn't say anything about re-joining the community after his move, it seemed that no-one was going to rewrite hard.dat.
But then last night I decided to re-write the dang thing. So I did.

I'm not quite done with it, hence I'm posting it here and not on TDN. Read the readme for more info. Let me know what you think about the changes I made...

i looks nice so far... but you really need those old geometric ones on the end. it is easy to get to them (scroll backwards with [ or whatever) and most DMODS probably use them already for houses and such. leaving them in will make it a lot easier for people to use this on dmods that are already in existance. other than that, i like all of the changes.

It isn't meant for just tacking-on to old D-Mods; it requires a bit of hardness-tile editing to get it to work. But the results are worth it, I think.
I will add the Geometric tiles... but they probably won't be anywhere near the end of hard.dat like they are in the original. Otherwise ~500 hardness are wasted, and you wouldn't be able to add your own hardness tiles easily.

that really sucks.
