Heretic add-on guide

GiSWiG · 2012 Jul 20

Long time Doom player (still have original box)
DE is AWESOME!
(OK had to vent excitement)

Under the Hexen fourm is a nice tutorial for a bunch of Hexen add-ons, almost all of which I cannot find links for on this site, and it works great.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a similar set for Heretic? Also, is there another location that has a lot of the add-ons for Doomsday that include all the games? I'm happy with the Doom add-on on this site, but Heretic and Hexen have only one and the Hexen guide has a bunch more. Does the Heretic Resource Kit, which covers a lot, cover it all? (complete with music, textures, etc.?)

I've searched for the last 2 days and not coming up with much.

Thanks,

Hi GiSWiG

As I see - legluondunet already recommended you something, but let me continue

1) Corvus weapon models in network game - jHeretic Jaquboss' Corvus vweap's .zip

https://hotfile.com/dl/190290420/a66b2d ... _.zip.html

2) Particles - Markworth_Particles_jHeretic.pk3

https://hotfile.com/dl/190290443/0927c8 ... c.pk3.html

3) There at at least 2 good texture packs for JHeretic:

a) Textures, recommended by legluondunet

b) Textures, which are more close to original

Also, I investigated both of these packs, and noticed, that some textures are better in "pack A", and another textures are better in "pack B", so I combined these packs, using only best textures in it (lets call this "pack C").

Here is an archive, where you can find "original pack B" and "my pack C": https://hotfile.com/dl/190290793/ae2b83 ... S.rar.html

If you want - I can upload comparison screenshots of packs A, B and C, so you will understand, which differences and advantages/disadvantages of each packs I mean.

Example:

Lava from pack A (recommended by legluondunet): http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/8115 ... ext000.jpg

Lava from pack B (pack, which is closer to original): http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/8995 ... ext001.jpg

Lava from pack C (my pack - I decided, that sprite version of lava is the best): http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/6571/hereticext002.jpg

4) You recommended only sycraft music. Howewer, not all people like this version of Hexen music, so here is additional version - Original Dos (OPL SoundBlaster 220) Heretic music pack: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/showthread. ... id=1059198

Hope my recommendations will help you.

P.S. Also - here is interesting UI pack for Heretic: http://dengine.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=442
