PLUGINIZATIONForum administrator Nefarius has been busy this week, releasing 3 different plugins. First, there is the New CMNCOF/CHARS_COF stubs plugin, with the smallest files possible and using a non-existent token. Second, Nefarius went retro and released a MultiClient D2Gfx.dll for v1.06 (!), which was requested in the forum. The third plugin is announced below.
DIDN'T YOU ALWAYS WANT......to grab Cain's staff and beat the hell out of him with it, then stab him with a sword and decapitate him with an axe, and then... you get the idea
By popular opinion, he's the most annoying NPC in the game, maybe because he follows you everywhere babbling how wise he is. Now, thanks to Nefarius again, you will be able to show him who's the real hero! Nefarius released a new token plugin of Cain as a monster, complete with all animation modes required. You can download it here. And our screenshot of the week shows some of the modes and palette changes available in the plugin, too 
That's it. Short news, but you can't say that there were no releases this week. Now go check them out!
