Hello, i´m a long time fan of the Diablo series (just like everybody here, i suppose 
), and after a long time researching about Diablo 1, it seems that this forums are one of the most active that still talks about this classic.
I also noticed several community releases, so i wanted to join and ask a few questions, if i may.
After trying to convert my diablo 1 mp save to hellfire mp save, i managed to do it with Diablo Saver 1.09.
But only to find out that Hellfire is based off Diablo 1.04, and has a retarded multiplayer saving system that places hidden system-like .drv extensioned files on a system protected folder on WinNT based systems, AND (worst of all), make that save usable only on that machine, making the backup of save files a real pain in the ass.
That all seemed resolved when i found in this forum the "My Unnoficial Hellfire 1.02 Patch" o this link: http://www.lurkerlounge.com/forums/thread-13318.html
When i read that one of the changed was that now multiplayer save files are all usable independant of the machine it is in, i got excited.
I managed to find the link for the mod, downloaded and installed it.
The game opens fine, but now Diablo Saver won´t work because its a different client version.
Is there a workaround for this?
The situation is: i either use the 1.01 version and use the save file only on this machine, forever (diablobackup can´t seem to restore it), or i use the 1.02 mod fixes and loose all of my existing diablo characters, that i worked so hard do level up.
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for any replies.
