About

DevilutionX is a source port of Diablo (1996) and its Hellfire expansion, built on the Devilution reconstruction of the original code. It runs natively on modern systems and adds higher resolutions, controller support, engine bug fixes and optional quality-of-life features, plus TCP/IP multiplayer. Some recent commits are co-authored with an AI coding assistant (Claude), per the project's commit history.

No Diablo assets are included. smog copies your own DIABDAT.MPQ (from the original CD or the GOG release) next to the executable. Saves and settings live in ~/.local/share/diasurgical/devilution. For Hellfire, also copy hellfire.mpq, hfmonk.mpq, hfmusic.mpq and hfvoice.mpq into the install folder by hand (not automated in this entry). Needs SDL2 installed on the system.
