================================================================ SINFUL DISCHARGE An episode for Heretic, requires use of Jheretic v1.0 or later. ================================================================ ================================================================ Information ================================================================ Author : ICE Email Address : pmistry_@raven-games.com Release date : March 16, 2002 Web Site : http://www.raven-games.com/hosted/ice ================================================================ Background of the WAD ================================================================ This is my [probably final] contribution to the Heretic community. [and what a small community it is] I know some of these maps aren't groundbreaking, highly detailed, or earth shattering awesome like more recent wADs for Doom. However, I think you will find them pleasant to look at and quite fun to play. It definitely gives some new scenery to Heretic. ================================================================ Included Files in the zip ================================================================ sinful.wad - this would be the actual wad file sinful.txt - this would be the file you are reading now jheretic.ded - use this if you are running Jheretic v1.0 or later maps.ded and text.ded - use these 2 instead of jheretic.ded if you are running Jheretic 1.1 or later. ================================================================ Credits ================================================================ Raven Software and id Software for some damn good games. Christopher "shaithis" Buecheler for CWB Texture Pak 5 for Doom 2. I had to convert these into the Hertic pallette. Sean Johnson for Graphtallica 3 [graphtx3.wad], few textures. Again I had to convert into the Heretic pallette. A few textures from Gothic Team's [gothictx.wad] I had to convert to Heretic's pallette. Raven-Games.com for hosting my Heretic site. ================================================================ Beta Testers ================================================================ Pablo Dictter, thanks for all the suggestions. and myself of course ================================================================ Installation ================================================================ This WAD pack requires Jheretic v1.0 or later. I recommend 1.1 or later. It can run with Wheretic. I tested it with Wheretic v0.5a Build 9 and it ran fine. If you are running Jheretic v1.0, put sinful.wad into you Jheretic folder. Then use the launcher [Dlaunch] to run the WAD. What is important is that you put the Jheretic.ded file into your "DEFS" folder inside the Jheretic folder. Back up your existing Jheretic.ded file. This file will make some of the ground textures glow against the wall, like the water. When you start playing, check and see if some of the walls have a blue glow from the water on the first level. Map names will also change but in Jheretic 1.0 it doesn't seem to work. If you are running Jheretic v1.1 or later. Put the text.ded and maps.ded files into your "\Defs\jHeretic" folder. Backup the existing files first. The map names and glowing textures will now work. ================================================================ Play Information ================================================================ Game: Heretic Episode and Level # : All of Episode 3 [Dome of D'Sparil, E3M1 to E3M9.] Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes [works great] Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes [starts are included, some levels are big.] Difficulty Settings : Yes Skill 4 "Thou art a smite meister" For most Heretic players will provide maximum enjoyment. Skill 3 "Bringest them oneth" For a slightly toned down skill 4. Skill 2 "thou needeth a wet nurse" If you are new to Heretic. Don't play on Skill 1, it is identical to Skill 2 but you get double the ammo pickups. There is more than enough ammo and health. By all means play Skill 5 "black plague possesses thee" if you are nuts. ================================================================ Wad Construction ================================================================ New Sounds : Yes [1 ambient sound from Hexen, lightning sound] New Music : Yes [E3M5 has Doom2's MAP 09, the Pit music] New Graphics : Yes [I have already outlined some of the new textures in the credits section] Hexen, Hexen 2, Heretic 2, Star Trek Elite Force Doom/Doom2/Final Doom, Quake, Quake 2, Quake 3 Arena, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Blood, and Duke Nukem 3D.
