Back to Hellfire v1.02 released!

[onyx]

Hello everyone Since Patch v1.02 has been greatly delayed in time, I decided to release what I have already done and leave the rest for the next patch. I'm talking mainly about the new sidequest that I promised - sadly, it didn't make it into this patch. The new release fixes some critical bugs though and it was important to make it available sooner.

To install the patch, simply extract the BTHPatch.mpq file in your BTH folder, where you already have v1.00 installed (replace if prompted). Then run the mod as usual. If everything is fine, you'll see "v1.02" in the lower right corner of the title screen. If you don't have v1.00 installed, refer to this thread.

Let me just say : YAY!!!! This patch was well anticipated!

... So... I guess it's time to start thinking about v1.03...

[rasty]

I think the game is pretty good right now.Only one serious bug remains-fix the multiplayer under OS other than XP 32 bit.The solution is known,but onyx's coder is gone so no way to fix it

[Wapaz]

Although I'm not playing at the moment, the changelog sounds very good. I'm rather excited to test the changes, I hope I can find some time to play again. It seems like the patch is bringing back the times, when BTH was more difficult to beat.

[prodigypm]

I think you should ... balance the game a bit ... I mean in battle 1 on 1 battles ... its really dissbalanced now and a few fixes should be good too

[Cosmobomja23]

Grait mod!
but why you didnt use new textures from d2?
Hell river from D2 more greitest then from d1 and other textures,
And neitral magick skils in books and scrols (fire bolt, fire wall and other) need to stay. Sirry for mystakes, Im from Russion.

[SpanishDiablo]

Are all deleted enemies from Diablo 1 included here? Namely Arch-Litch Malignus, Goat Lord, Invisible Lord, Bone Demon, Devil Kin Brute, Unraveler, Incinerator and Wyrm.

[ArchAngelAdam]

I installed v1.00 and then did as you said with the BTHpatch.mpq for v1.02 but it still displays v1.00 in game. Am I missing something?

[jeandelock]

need a mirror
that ones broke

[Volf]

works now

[jeandelock]

recipes ?

[Megaladon]

recipes ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe it was asked not to share that info on this site. The creator (Onyx) wants the players to discover it on their own.

Fallen Champions and Carvers still blink between blue and red,didn't get very far yet with my Blood Wiz but hopefully soon will get to end of Act 1...also how come it's easyer to kill the Butcher with Punisher Slvl 1 than with Blaze Slvl 3???my guess would be that he is very resistant to fire...
