Amarksys,
Take a look at Marsh's work on Hellfire 1.02, and the corresponding projects that he references (the dark, the hell mods) I'm sure there are still interested parties who are doing similar work to what you're suggesting, I have actually quite enjoyed Marsh's hellfire update thus far.
Regardless, it's good to see the desire to mod and revitalize diablo is still alive and well, best of luck to you.
