My Unofficial Hellfire 1.02 Mod

[Belix]

Can't run Loader.exe since it keeps asking for the CD. Any thougts?

My apologies. I did not notice this post until now, almost a year later. Hopefully you resolved this by now, but in case you haven't and come back, and for the benefit of anyone else:

Without running Loader.exe you can't enable the cowquest (or benefit from any of the changes of my add-on to this mod, for that matter). To correct the CD issue I included some instructions in my thread, which I will paste again here:

........Note: A default setting makes Hellfire look for Diablo's data file in its own folder instead of the CD and can cause "Disc not found" errors!
........Here are the three settings to take a look at:
........Options: • Disable_CD_protection= Recommend you set to NO as you need the CD for data files, or the game crashes. Don't know why this option exists!
.................... • use_DIABDAT_from_HD= This causes Hellfire to claim the CD is missing even if it is in your drive. But it's actually quite useful; if you copy
..........................DIABDAT.MPQ from your Diablo CD to the Hellfire directory, you can run the game from your hard drive, vastly reducing load times!

Also, I'd like to report details of a serious problem I found in Marsh's Unofficial Hellfire Mod that I believe can cause the game to crash to the desktop in the Crypt.

This mod uses the unique bosses introduced in Hellfire: Fixed. Lemming assigned the AI of the Skeleton King to Fleshdoom, a new unique Reaper found on the 4th floor of the Crypt. This probably caused crashes in HF: Fixed in single player where Fleshdoom would of attempted to raise skeletons in the Crypt thanks to his AI assignment. Marsh further enabled Leoric to raise skeletons in multiplayer, which makes Fleshdoom cause crashes in the Crypt in multiplayer also.

This problem will be fixed in the next version of my patch-mod that builds on Marsh's Unofficial Hellfire Mod, but I'm specifically posting the information Marsh needs to fix this here in his own project:

exe address: AF850
old code: 0A
new code: 02
Will change Fleshdoom's AI from Leoric to that of Skeletons/Black Knights and should resolve the crash issue.


Remember, you can find my extensive update to Marsh's mod here on the Lounge, currently in version 4 (5 sometime this month) which aims to complete his work with many more fixes and improvements, along with the ability to customize features to your liking with a few simple text edits:
