So I was thinking of reinstalling Diablo with Hellfire, but when I went to grab this file, the link given on the Diablo Wiki was down. I looked around a bit, but I couldn't find it. So I figured I'd ask you guys. Do any of you have it?

Wasn't Hellfirre considered abysmally bad and wiped from Blizzards collective mind? Or was it another expansion?

Hellfire was published by Sierra IIRC - and AFIAK was never released for free legally. I do own it on CD though, along with a copy of Diablo 1 which was included in the 1st run of Diablo Battle Chests (D1... not Hellfire)

From wikipedia

Diablo: Hellfire is an expansion pack that Sierra On-Line produced for the video game Diablo. It was released in 1997 and developed by Synergistic Software, a Sierra division. Hellfire is the only authorized expansion pack released for Diablo. Blizzard Entertainment has never released a first-party expansion for Diablo. The original game was later re-released alongside Hellfire in 1998 in a bundle called Diablo + Hellfire.

No it was pretty good, they actually took some ideas from it for D2 and ran with it.

The problem is it was a third party expansion licensed by Blizzard and it really didn't make any lore additions, only gameplay so they could skip it.

At this moment it would be best to torrent it, or buy it seriously overpriced from eBay or something like it because it's in abandonware limbo atm.

He's not asking for the full game. The file hellfireall-.zip was a modified 1.01 patch that enabled LAN play for Hellfire and use of the Bard and Barbarian classes. If nobody else is able to come up with it, I think I may have it somewhere. PM me with an email address and if I can dig it up, I'll send it to you.

Oh, that little thingy...

Here's the 1.01 patch and the multiplayer unlock:

Blizzard / fanboys will push that point of view. Hellfire was as good for Diablo as LOD was for Diablo 2. To dismiss Hellfire is the same as dismissing LOD . . . both were great expansions. Both brought improvements to the original game with many of the Hellfire additions found in D2 and in LOD. Story line?? Really?

Here is a link to fix LAN for Hellfire . . .for those brave souls who choose to ignore Blizzards view . . . =)

Also a couple quests (though one of them is a little silly) and apparently an option to turn off randomized pallets in The Hive.

I quite liked Hellfire, I thought the additions were nice, and I liked The Hive quite a bit. Also, the Hork Spawn are adorable!

Hellfire mostly suffered because they were lazy with some of the modelling and reused one of the models for an additional class. Personally, I rather liked hellfire.

I think this link has what you'll need, and yes I know that several other folks have provided links, but this one does have more info that should be useful.

The new classes, except the Monk, were never finished, which is why you have to mess around with files to use them. the Bard and the Barbarian are functional, but never had new art made for them. I don;t think it was laziness, just them running out of time.

I was referring to what you got in the original expansion without activating the additional content. Admittedly it's been a while since I loaded it up, but I thought that they reused artwork even on what they provided.

Not that I can remember. Maybe in Na-Krul's crypt?
