Re: qns abt ancient mod...
Ancients: The Fury Within runs on v1.09, but you can have two versions running together. MickyBIs came up with an elegant solution for setting up multiple versions.
First, with 1.09 installed, make a complete set of dlls in a backup directory. You can copy the 1.09 patch_d2.mpq there also. Copy game.exe and rename the copy to game109.exe. (I actually have game109b.exe and game109d.exe, and backups of both versions.) Then update to 1.10. You can have any number of different game.exe files, just make sure the names are unique and you target the appropriate version instead of diablo ii.exe.
Second, for each mod running in 1.09x, copy the dlls from your backup set, but don't overwrite any that came from the mod. Point your shortcut or launching script to game109.exe with the mod directory in Start In (shortcut method).
Use the shortcut and 1.09 will load, otherwise you have an unblemished 1.10 for vanilla running or use with newer mods.

Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
