Quote:I'm a bit surprised no one has fixed CV5 after all these years. Was the source lost?
Because nobody cared? I dont know, but for Diablo 1.09 there is just few files causing crashes. "cow.cel problem" is quite famos, right? There is some tool (sort of console aplication program, maybe an old version of cv?), where you can choose methods of conversion from cel to gif. One method is really named "cow" because it works for those cels.
Its true, that its not so user friendly as using cv5. But neither is modding itself. If you really need to see those "crashing" files, there is an option.
BTW: TRNs work very well of course.
For DPS~Girl:

if Kp says something is hard, it will propably be impossible for most of us.
