Projects that have specifically been abandoned or considered "dead" get moved here, so people will quit bumping them. If your project has wound up here and it should not be, contact a moderator to have it moved back to the land of the living.
Don't know if its of any use to anybody but here you can download my unfinished Heretic project, was to be around one episode of 8-9 maps but didn't get around to finish it :/ Has 3 maps.
Lvl1: Docks and underground passages
Lvl2: Crypt
Lvl3: Necropolis
Lvl4: Forest of Decay
Lvl5: Town of the damned
Lvl6: Some huge church/catheral lvl
Lvl7: Underground Gateway
Lvl8: Otherworldly Dimension
etc
Wow, Mega's downloader is weird. Okay, that aside, why is this mod distributed as loose files inside a zip archive, with a copy of 7zip and a batch file to build a pk3? It seems rather pointless to me- just distribute the pk3, and if we want to have a look inside we can unzip it or just open it up in SLADE (it has built-in support for pk3). My source port of choice is GZDoom, and it appears that this mod is targeted towards an OpenGL port- not a problem but you should mention it since a lot of people use vanilla ZDoom with its software renderer.
I played through the first map of Heretic. Right away I noticed two things. Pretty lights, and nothing changed. It took me about halfway through the map to realize that you might have used MAPxx numbering instead of the ExMx numbering Heretic expects. Sure enough, map map01 took me to the right level. I only played through the first level so far- I might get to the others later.
Spoiler: playthrough
Oh, hello bow, you look familiar. And hello missing thing, you look familiar too.
Yup, it's the same bow. Realm667? I like this weapon, except for two things. It doesn't display properly in widescreen, and you can't select it. Only the latter is your fault.
Pretty skybox! Also, a giant claw orb I went through considerable trouble to retrieve. There are a lot of claw orbs in the level, but no obvious dragon claw.
That's a nice cave. I like that cave. Seriously, my cave looks like complete ass by comparison.
It's a dead midget punk rocker and an oddly lit crossbow. I'll take the crossbow, but not the dead midget punk rocker.
Is that Strife's leather armor up there?
I hated this part. It was spooky, I couldn't see what I was shooting at, and I could either do tiny amounts of damage with the hitscan Elven Wand or not hit anything with the Ethereal Crossbow. Then I ran out of ammo.
Another great-looking outdoor environment. For some reason, I really like seeing outdoor environments on this engine.
I tried pushing the green explody blob things onto the pads with the symbols on them before I found the switch. Fail on my part, but kind of a missed opportunity for a puzzle here.
Slightly humourous runthrough aside, this is what I have to say about the map. The architecture is excellent- everything looks very nice and even looks like it might be something. Beautiful and plausible rarely come together, so kudos on that. Map design, gameplay wise, is meh, but I'm usually looking for something more than the usual shoot things/find keys/flip switches. If you put that aside, the only real issues are ammo for a weapon that isn't there (or very difficult to find), and very little health at the beginning of the level (it gets better later). The mod is missing graphics for a thing and the bow isn't selectable, but those aren't problems with the map itself.
Besides, it's a Heretic mod. The only game less appreciated than Heretic is Strife.
