HERETIC  UPSTART  MAPPING  PROJECT  2017


INTENDED SOURCE PORTS: zdoom or GZDoom
All maps have been tested in zdoom 2.8.1.

IWAD REQUIRED: heretic.wad (registered version - shadow of the serpent riders)


Original Idea: /vr/
Idea Base: DUMP Projects by TerminusEst13
Project Lead: HexenMapper
Thanks to /vr/, Doomworld forums and everyone who helped playtesting.
Special thanks to Xindage for bugfixing and quality control, and PerfectionismTech for Doomsday map definitions.

NOTE: All maps are designed to be wand-started. They have been arranged roughly in order of difficulty, so continuous play will also work.
To wand start: When you enter a map, type "engageXY" where X is the episode number and Y is the map number given below (So type engage11 for E1M1). This will restart the level with only your wand, staff and no items.
Jumping and Crouching have been disabled in this wad. You will not be needing them.

Story:
The servants of Korax, D'Sparil and Eidolon swept through Parthoris, wracking your homeland and murdering your kin. You
fought valiantly, but as your city was overrun you were captured and imprisoned with many others, to be turned to golems or
executed if the flesh was not willing.
Waiting in your cell you saw the foul methods that were used on your brethren. Surely it would be your turn soon...
The day all but yourself had perished or turned to the dark wills, a portal opened briefly in your prison cell. A small
wand and staff dropped out, the portal immediately closing behind.
To your astonishment, the means of escape lay at your feet. You praised who or whatever had sent help, tucking the wand
into your belt and grasping the staff, you prepared yourself for what lay ahead...

Note that E1M5, E1M6 and E2M2 will not be finishable in Doomsday as they require boss actions to lower floors. Currently we
haven't been able to work out the current boss action definitions for Doomsday. Any help would be appreciated.
Likewise if anyone knows how to get heretic to display par times in the intermission we would also love to hear from you.
You can email me at: thespidersrepublic@hotmail.com

KNOWN BUGS IN GZDoom: In E1M6 the pillars may not lower after leaving the interior area. If they don't, re-start the map.
