Thanks for the update.

Looks like that's the only method to keep things as simple as possible.

What an epic campaign this is right now, its awesome, leveling up the character in Hexen is something special, add in the Ai neural textures and its amazing.

What you can do is package MAP33 to MAP38 from the Hexen IWAD, along with a modified MAP40, and a MAPINFO lump. No content from Deathkings would need to be included. The original IWAD would still be required, so presence of seven of its maps would be acceptable. Load that package along with HEXEN.WAD and HEXDD.WAD and you get a full 60-level single-player/coop campaign.

That's the best you can do without a WadSmoosh-like program.

Example if you had this mod, you would have the DLC technically for free as you only need the original Hexen WAD.
Which is why you really shouldn't be distributing it as-is, because as Kinsie demonstrated, Deathkings very much costs money.

No I'm saying that you don't technically need the DLC to play this mod, as you only need the original Hexen WAD.

Hello and thankyou for the reply.

That's a shame. You do still need the original Hexen WAD to play the combined version but yes the DLC is technically free.

Sorry about this we wont release anything right now.

Doing this will be against copyright (and the community rules) as you would be distributing the commercial assets. You would have to release it as a Wadsmoosh like tool or as something that you can use alongside the retail WAD files so that you don't provide the copyrighted material.

Something like WadSmoosh would be acceptable.

I should hope you're not planning on distributing the entire combined hexen.wad file. :?

Hello Graf Zahl thankyou for the reply much appreciated.

This is great news, the possibility of a single playthough would be brilliant, unfortunately after much research we cannot find any information on how to edit the parameters for this new exit special action?

May I ask how would you actually achieve this? I don't quite understand the ''remove those multiplayer maps from Deathkings'' section?

Thanks again.

Re: Combining Hexen and the DLC

by Graf Zahl » Thu May 16, 2019 12:18 am

These cannot be combined because Deathkings overrides some of the IWAD maps and because Hexen ends with an explicit 'end the game' action. Your only chance would be to remove those multiplayer maps from Deathkings and alter the exit special in the last map in Hexen to transport the player to the first Deathkings map.
