I’ve been playing DevilutionX in preparation for Fam plays since, while it does not have cheats per-se, you can move and copy save files (the path is probably in here).
Save files for version 1.5.3
My Save Files have the stash (Gillian) chock-full of goodies, both the Diablo (.sv) and Hellfire (.hsv) versions, although Hellfire reset everything and the save has more pages with assorted items.
Hellfire brought extra spells, oils, the Monk class and 8 new levels.
If you’re using Windows you may find the Bobafett Hero Editor/Cheat Engine useful as well as other tools by Diasurgical.
Resources (courtesy of Mistral)
- Ladik MPQ Editor (this is an older version but it extracts well)
- Zezula MPQ Editor
- StormLib (what the MPQ Editors use)
- Ghast’s Groto
It missed this one which is no wonder as many links are dead.
Update: The lisfiles on Diasurgical are more complete, like the one for save-games.
Dev Version (1.6) Modding
On version 1.6 (development) I was able to change some parameters by having a txtdata folder with .TSV (tab-separated-values). You can get the original files from the repository and place it in the data folder (with your .sv/.hsv save-files) then change them accordingly. Make sure that you do not run an older version or it will overrite your save-files.
To compile the new executable at build/devilutionx (.exe if you’re on Windows) you simply have to follow the instructions in docs/building.md. In my case the laptop kept running out of RAM but worked with cmake --build build -j 1.
Here’s an example spell/spelldat.tsv where every spell gets cheaper to cast with each level (minMana is 1):

Still don’t feel overpowered enough? Maybe replacing this with some of the entries of items/unique_itemdat.tsv would help. You’ll have to figure out which items this replaces but they are easy to get:
Cheater's Ring TRING 1 1 DEX 250 250 SPLLVLADD 7 7 VIT 250 250 MAG 250 250 STR 250 250 ATTRIBS 250 250

Note that these items will likely morph according to the server settings, I had a case where I was given a cheat item and my stash went back a day so make sure that you play online without cheats (use earlier versions).
