Finding Diablo 2 Mod

A Mod where Horadric Cube, Town Portal and Identify stack are 1 slot; TP and ID scroll stack looks like Memphisto Soul Stone. Also, Sorceress Lightning Nova works like a lightning version of Frozen Orb, and Act 4 River of Flame has a lot of "The Summoner".

Here's an image

Skimmed through it out of curiosity. I'll give the info I found, you do the heavy lifting:
-its a very old image that has been featured in many articles.
-Didnt check everything, but the oldest article I saw with correct filesize reaches back to July 2001 (to note, its reviewing D2, not D2 LOD, and LOD was released in June of the same year, so just a month before so its possible its a D2 classic mod, unsurprising considering the choice for helmet)
https://www.gamerevolution.com/review/341051-diablo-2-review-2
-might have more luck if you can read/speak russian and check/ask around in old forums (the article writer is russian, and there were several other russian results
-thought it might be eastern sun, though it seemed different at the same time. Then again, I dont remember every version detail, could be worth checking alpha and beta versions if you can find them (I doubt you can, and either way it might be a false lead). To note that ES inventory looks quite different, but again, could have looked that way during an early stage. May have also been a false lead with my memory associating it with this article https://us.evribiont.ru/702-diablo-2-eastern-sun-v-110-new.html
since you can see that the images and the inventory in the video are quite different
-noticed that the merc name is The Bohemi, havent played in a long time but dont think that's a spawnable name, it could be set by the mod already, or the mod could allow you to name mercs
-could be more than one mod together, we used to do small modifications to the game back in the day (unlikely since there seems to be a lot there, but that's a pill you might have to swallow)
-mod could be lost forever due to how old it is (a sad likelihood)

I'd say if you want to try and find it, your best bet is to first ask around on sites like the phrozen keep:
https://d2mods.info/home.php
d2 net forums
https://www.diabloii.net
or some good old russian forums (can't help ya there), also dont discount german forums either as there was quite the mod community for d2.
Otherwise, you can manually check (that means installing and playing) each of the oldest mods you can find on the phrozen keep or on mod database, start with D2 mods as that review date makes it near impossible for it to be a LOD mod

https://www.moddb.com/games/diablo-2/mods?sort=released-asc
(note none of them was released before 2003 but it could be a pic of an early version of a mod)
oh, and dont forget D2SE though it came later, it allows to check the supported ones easily and it COULD be one of them

(could also try and contact the gamerevolution article writer to see if he can help, ofc)

Happy hunting, and do report back if you manage to figure out which one it is.

Thank you. I found it. It is "Hell on Earth" 1.0

Nice! Good thing it ended up being one of the more well-known ones, though I havent heard that name coupled with anything but a 2 since forever (I think I played it waaaaay back then, but honestly can't remember much).
Not sure if 1.0 version survived but 2 is likely better considering the base and thankfully there's good support for it with D2SE. Hope you have fun.
