Ok I am kind of new to Diablo II graphics editing, but I am very experienced in editing games. I am currently using D2:LOD version 1.09d. I started out by downloading CV5 from the Phrozen site. I then downloaded the a few animation plug-ins. I spotted the "yetis become cain" plugin and tried it out. I got a pretty good laugh out of it. I then came up with something more of a riot. I wanted to replace Cain with the gargantuan beast.So, I started out by extracting my d2data.mpq onto my hard drive for fast access. I VIEWED the gargantuan beast and deckard cain .dcc files and found which ones were appropriate to replace. I renamed the files to what they were supposed to be and put them in my d2_patch.mpq file. I then ran the game and saw a gargantuan beast wandering in town. After a few seconds, the game crashed.
I then downloaded the "tried of old wrinkly cain?" plug-in that replaces deckard cain with some dude from Baldur's Gate. I placed them appropriately in my d2_patch.mpq and the game crashed once again.
Ok after that I figured that it had to do with the number of sprites in the .dcc's. But, apparently, the CV5 version that I have doesn't allow you to save bitmaps or other graphic formats as .dcc files. Am I doing something wrong with CV5, or have I downloaded a crappy version? Please someone help me!
