Hexen v1.0 support (#536 onwards)

skyjake

While it is recommended to use the latest version of Hexen (v1.1) with Doomsday, I've added a separate game mode for Hexen v1.0. Friday's build will add "Hexen v1.0" as an option in the frontend. At the moment, you can use the "load hexen-v10" command in the console or "-g hexen-v10" when launching to select v1.0 as the game mode.

People on v1.0 cannot play multiplayer with people using v1.1.

The v1.0 game mode needs a little bit of testing, though. If you happen to have a v1.0 Hexen IWAD and some spare time, you could help us out by doing some play-testing and reporting here any issues you encounter that are not present with the v1.1 IWAD. Particularly I'm interested in crashes and fatal errors.

For reference:

• Hexen v1.0 IWAD: 20128392 bytes, MD5: b2543a03521365261d0a0f74d5dd90f0
• Hexen v1.1 IWAD: 20083672 bytes, MD5: abb033caf81e26f12a2103e1fa25453f

Vermil

• Wrong colours for the classes on the select classes page; the are orange instead of red.
• Intermission texts don't display; "(text not found)" is displayed instead; the 1.0 Iwad hardcodes them instead of using lumps for them as 1.1 does.
• The colour cycling on the player sprite on the MP Player setup menu doesn't look like it's been updated to take into account there are only 4 colours in 1.0 instead of the 8 in 1.1.
• No way of getting to Map41 (the unused level accidently left in 1.0 but removed for 1.1); the level warp cheats instead take you back to Map01.
• The pickup names for the "chaos device" and "disc of repulsion" are the wrong way round in 1.0; probably not worth imitating that one (though not mimicing it may cause an issue someday if Dday gains support for HexHacked, HeXens equivalent of Dehacked?).

Snowberry:

• No Snowberry profile for 1.0 yet, meaning one has to use the load command from the console: OT, theres also no Snowberry profile for the HeXen beta demo yet.
• Might also want to update Snowberry's HeXen-DK Iwad search page to indicate a 1.0 Iwad won't let you run DK.

An issue in both 1.0 and 1.1:

• Menu items on MP Player setup menu are at the top and bottom of the screen rather than the middle.

Good stuff, thanks. I'll add the relevant portions to the stable to-do list.
