ZHeXen: V 1.0 RELEASED!!! Contributions?

[Drake Raider]

Thanks.

EDIT:
Please note, I may or may not add dungeons, but aside from the XPack, this project is finished, as far as I am concerned. I will merge in contribs, but probably wont add content to the unexpanded version. I still have yet to finish the XPack, though.

It's been awhile, and this is a massive bump, but I updated ZHeXen again with the more recent builds of zdoom. I added the nourishment system in, as well as making 5 new maps for a more enjoyable worldmap, in my opinion. Also, the ettin, when they appear, are better in groups then they were before, with the new command system. Both are only basically tested, but i'd like feedback.

Interesting changes! Some nitpicks though... when I tried using the new palettes, everything looked kinda bugged. Also there are some brilliant bits here and there for expanding the original levels, but for the most part they have needless details and height variations.

If I were to recreate the HeXen levels myself, I would have taken a completely different approach... if you're interested (be warned tho, I'm working on Hpack AND Evil Unleashed so I'm busy)

Am interested, but it doesn't quite make much if a difference. My computer just died, and until I fix it, there'll be no updates. However, I have a large list of additional features I will include. The edits to the main hexen originally were just for the sake of adding interhub travel, to create a sandbox feel. I didn't like the linearity of HeXen. But that's preferential. Other than that, ya, my sole purpose for overhauling every map I modded was to avoid copyright violation. And, as I didn't realize it wouldn't make a difference if Raven had been inclined to sue. I doubt they will, tho, as KMod recently started distributing stock hexen maps, which a good modder would have little trouble compiling into a hexen iwad given the right resources. So the overhaul is optional, and I myself sorta wish I didn't start it. But, if people are willing or wishing, I'll continue. Levelwise, the foremost mapping are the side dungeons, which don't influence the main quest in any way whatsoever.

I am using GZDoom and in the tutorial map I see a lot of "<!>" icons!What the hell?
Also one of the teleports to the worlds is one use only ,and disappears after use.This seems kinda bugged...
A lot of the sectors in the original maps have become black.

Missing actors/wrong DoomEd numbers, it seems. That or randomspawners.

Does it lags heavily too? I got a similar glitch quite often before i updated.

[Drake Raider]

You making sure to use all the non-optional modules? I.e. everything but palletes and maps. 'cause it should work. Updated what? your system or the software? I'm not sure what causes the lag. However, mine lagged quite a bit when using CD music. If that normally makes a difference.

i like everything except 3 things.

1.) starting Melee weapons suck. the shield animation is halfway in the screen, the staff is a headache, the daggerfall sprites suck, the animations are choppy, and they really don't do anything that the original starting weapons cant. the revamped hexen weapons are all amazing though. i seriously would either make them more fun to use, animate them better, or scrap them all together. personally 5 weapons is not really required for this game; serpent ressurection taught me that one.

2.) Torch animations suck. it looks like shit. i mean it looks REALLY REALLY shitty.

3.) starting maps look shitty.

other than those initial hick ups, i really like the mod. the combat is much more fun, and the enemies less boring. good job on everything else. but those three things right there are dog shit on vanilla ice cream. sorry.

Good concept but it needs a good polishing.Don't give up on it though.
