Cainfire (Hellfire Mod)

Here’s a mod I made for Hellfire, the expansion to Diablo. Install Diablo, Hellfire and then copy Cainfire102.exe to the Hellfire installation folder and run it. You do not need to install the Hellfire 1.01 patch, the zip file includes the 1.01 dll. The mod works perfectly over Kali as long as everyone is using the mod.  This mod is much more difficult in Hell/Hell thanks to bug fixes. If you’re playing on Vista or Windows 7 and you get colour issues (i.e rainbow effect) kill explorer before running the game with the following command from the command window:

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe

When you’re done playing, to start explorer again type the following command in the command window from earlier:

start explorer.exe

Warning: This mod probably will not work properly in single player mode. In addition, existing Hellfire characters are not compatible with this mod.

Download: Cainfire v1.02

A big thanks go out to The Dark community, especially Zenda for all the help I received making this mod.  Be sure to check out their excellent Hellfire mod The Dark.  http://www.thedark5.com/
