Sweep damage in Hellfire

If he's talking plain HF, then there is no multiplayer mode, therefore no multiplayer save files.

But there is a modified dll which allows you to play HF and multiplayer mode, and Jim and I used to play it a lot together on Kali. We also played the VK hellfire mod and the Dark on Kali. I suspect Dakota's theory about the computer name probably has some validity. What I remember about the computer name thing is not that you receive an error message but that your characters simply do not show up when you launch a game. Knowing the error message Jim is getting would certainly help track down the problem. I had an error message once which said something like "memory could not be read". What I ended up doing is moving all the hellfire characters to a separate folder and introducing one of them at a time (by pasting back in windows) until the error reappeared. It turned out that one of the characters was corrupted and deleting that character solved the problem. Oh well, Jim, you are probably spending all your time playing Asheron's Call anyway:)

As to the sweep damage issue, you could play HellfireFixed which "fixes" that along with most other regular HF "bugs". I would rather hate seeing only the monk benefit from sweep damage, as I think Bards and Barbarians should have it too since, unlike the monk, they cannot block attacks. Barbarians and Bards can never have any useful high ac on hell difficulty so sweep is essential to both unless you can figure out how to allow them to use weapons to block. This has been done I believe in the latest version of the Dark and Dr. Zed in his great Diablo mod also gave warriors using axes an ability to block.
