Hellfire additionally requires hellfire.mpq, hfmonk.mpq, hfmusic.mpq and hfvoice.mpq. The shareware spawn.mpq can replace DIABDAT.MPQ only for the shareware portion.

Diablo uses DIABDAT.MPQ; Hellfire additionally needs hellfire.mpq, hfmonk.mpq, hfmusic.mpq and hfvoice.mpq. DevilutionX also needs its included devilutionx.mpq. Follow the system-specific data folder instructions rather than copying files to an arbitrary directory.
