Thank you Baker for setting up this sub-forum.
Due to most of Quake1 players have some nostalgic blood in their veins,
I thought: Why not create a thread about the grandfathers of Quake ?
Most of you know about the engine you cannot avoid when playing those goodies:
Doomsday Engine
But some of you maybe dont know, that there are already finished remarkable
High Resolution Packs availabe, that you cannot affort to miss.
On top of that, the newest Doomsday build 1.9.0-beta6.9 (which is also available for
other platforms) gives you the feeling of playing a brand new game.
With tons of features: Beginning with the ability in playing it with standard
mouse/keyboard setup; over to the ability in adjusting every little thing in
a comfortable ingame options menu; not ending in the modern graphic features like:
shadows, ligthing, particles, halos, AF/AA filter, real 3D models, .... etc

Due to the fact, that those High Res Packs are not easy to find (even in the Forum),
I uploaded the newest versions for you (all Links below).
I spent recently many hours and days searching in the internet and like to save your
time in doing the same again.
Instructions:
- Install Doomsday engine (latest beta 1.9.0 build 6.9)
- You only need the "wad" file from your Heretic or Hexen game
- In Doomsday Frontend Menu you can adjust shared settings (for all games)
or game specific settings (like adding the High Res Packs).
1.) For Heretic HRP:
Mark Heretic on the left, then click in addons tab the '+' symbol and navigate to
the folder which contains my extracted "jhrp1_01.box" subfolder.
Mark "jhrp1_01.box" and click "install".
Now finally check "jheretic Resource pack" on right addons tab. Like this:
2.) For Hexen HRP:
Mark Hexen on the left, then click in addons tab the '+' symbol and navigate to my 2 files:
"Hexen High resolution Texture Pack for jhexen 20100714 only textures.pk3"
(you must not extract pk3 !)
and the extracted "Hexen Community Collection Pack V1.20 11-01-2008 models+skins.zip",
which contains: "jXCCP.pk3"
Mark those two .pk3 files and click "install" (one after the other)
Now check those two positions (and nothing else !) in addons tab. Like this:
Start the game (with "play") and do all your adjustments in the in-game options:
- "control panel" (this is the modern one shown in above screenshot)
- for HUD and control adjustments use the corresponding other options
Attention: You can setup the HUD like this (for maximum fun):

UPDATE 1
Thanks to Spinvis for his Link to the new forum
New Heretic1 Gargoyle Monster (just released: 20100906):
, 
New Heretic1 Wand Staff Weapon (just released: 20100908 ):
New Heretic1 Skull in Main Menu (just released: 20100831 ):
New Hexen1 Afrit Monster (released: 20090814 ):
, 
ATTENTION:
To use the new stuff, you must know, that Doomsday has a override function for addons.
So after you installed and checked the new addons (like described above),
simply right click on one of your addons and choose "load order".
Here you can tell Doomsday, which addon shall be loaded "last" !
This one will override all previous loaded models with same name/type,
and you will see the new models in-game.
Simple and genius
------------------------------------
UPDATE 2 ( 2010-10-08 )
I did the following in Update 2:
1) Rewrite installation instructions (from above). Made it easier to understand.
2) Got the newest Heretic Pack "jhrp-20090703" and modified it with these additions:
- New Gargoyle Monster is included now
- New Skull in Main Menu is included now
So you need less files now (which means less installation trouble).
New Wand model is the only thing, that must be installed separately. Sorry.
- All HUD-Weapon models are corrected (they had wrong offsets)
This means, you could only see a part of the in-hand-weapon.
Which is corrected now. Optimized for FOV = 100 !
3) Modified newest Hexen Pack with these additions:
- New Afrit Monster is included now
- Older but much better Ettin Monster is included now
- New Title picture in Main Menu is included now
So you need less files now (which means less installation trouble).
- All HUD-Weapon models are corrected (they had wrong offsets) similar to Heretic.
This means, you could only see a part of the in-hand-weapon.
Which is corrected now. Optimized for FOV = 100 !
- Deactivated the ugly new 3D models for: 3rd mage weapon and 3rd cleric weapon.
You will see the original Sprite models now for those 2 weapons now.
- Some new GUI-skins for visual improvement.
------------------------------------
UPDATE 3 ( 2011-03-22 )
I did the following in Update 3:
Implemented ALL the new stuff, that has been released since my Update 2:
- New Items 1.1 by Psychikon
- New Decorations by Psychikon
- New mace weapon skin by osjclatchford
- New High Res textures by inkub0
- Killed the wall-torch-bug
- Made the new wall torch model appear (has been overriden from old model)
It was almost impossible to get all of the above new replacements work
without changing and modifying many of the jhrp1_01 box contents.
Many contents have been interfering with each other.
I had a real struggle to make it happen this time.
In addition to that, I made a ALL-IN-ONE pack for Heretic for your convenience.
(before there have been 2 seperate files, you had to download)
I hope you enjoy playing those nice games.
If you have further questions, I will be happy to help.
Seven.
===============================
Update 2014-08-12
For Heretic, as far as I know there has not been made any new files since my last update, so I re-uploaded the Heretic compilation. If you are interested, download it from here: DOWNLOAD
For Hexen, there is a very active person, who does a lot of great things and work for it at the Doomsday Engineīs forum: veirdo
He made/packed a complete new Hexen resource box file: jxccp 1.31
The only other thing you may need/test, is his weapon remake project
With these 2 downloads you are perfectly done and up-to-date for Hexen 1.
Kind regards,
Seven
