Heretic1 + Hexen1

[Spirit]

Now THAT are some tasteless ugly graphics.

How can you even look at something like http://img837.imageshack.us/i/unbenanntsr.jpg/ and not weep inside.

Thanks for the post and instructions Seven. Been playing Heretic and Hexen for a long time now with Doomsday, i think i discovered it somewhere in 2003 when i was looking around how to play Doom on "modern" machines. I really loved it. Meanwhile i switched to Risen3D for my fix for the Doom series. Still using Doomsday for Heretic and Hexen though.

I have the following addons here on my work computer, excluding the addons that you got on your list Seven, (i got more (older) addons on my external HD at home) too bad they are not all fully finished yet and there can be some weird problems so when a model/texture is missing you'll get low res sprites/textures instead:

Heretic:
heretictextures.zip (jHeretic texture pack)
jhrp-20090703 (jHeretic Resource Pack: models, hud, weapons, ammo, monsters, etc..)

Hexen:
jHeXen_CCP_v1.20 (jHexen Resource Pack: models, hud, weapons, ammo, monsters, etc..)
jHexen_Reflections_v1.1 (Used to set up all the reflections used on surfaces)
jHexenrain-20060522 (Rain for a few levels of Hexen)
jxrp-aug-2004 (Some additional/different models for Hexen)
jHexenextratextures (Extra textures)

Addons i got from home:

HexenShineExample.pk3 (hexen light maps)
jheretic_Ded_patch.rar (heretic splash effect, tougher monsters, special effects, more blood)
jhereticpFull.rar (heretic hud, models, weapons, monsters, etc...)
jhereticrp1_01.box_FINALv4.zip (same as above, newer verion)
jhereticrp-20090227.zip (same as above, newer version)
heretictextures.zip (heretic textures)
JHereticTP.rar (more heretic textures)
jhereticui-install.zip (heretic HUD user interface pack)
JHeXen-LightMaps.zip (hexen lights, reflections)
JHeXen-Lights.zip (same as above)
jHeXenRP.zip (hexen model pack)
jHeXenRP-aug-2004.zip (same as above, later version maybe?)
JHeXen-Sfx.zip (hexen sfx high quality sounds)
jHeXen-Textures.zip (again more hexen textures)
JHeXen-Ui.zip (hexen HUD, user interface pack)
kurikai-hexenrain-20060522.pk3 (rain for hexen)

Plus i got the Sycraft high quality soundtracks for both games, they are really nice. Other then that i also have loads of Doom addons, both for Doomsday and Risen3D...

Let me know if somebody is interested, then i'll try to put it up somewhere on the net. Also since the move to the new Doomsday site and forum, the older addons are really hard to find since they didn't put them back up for download, but maybe and hopefully they will do so again in the future once they release the final of Doomsday 1.9.0.

Btw this is a link to the new Doomsdays forums: Doomsday Engine
Here you can find additional new work, like a new Gargoyle model for Heretic and a new Afrit model for Hexen for example.

Edit: Seven, this might be a nice addition to your post: Sycraft Heretic and Hexen soundtracks

Edit2: Full list of addons that i got for Heretic and Hexen added.

When I first heard about doomsday...4 years ago, I was really fascinated. Immediately I played through all 3 series(doom,hexen,heretic). Then I realized, that it isnīt same. Sprites had their charm and high resolution with detailed textures just show how dated the environment is. These games are meant to be played at low resoluton. It mainly broke the immersion in Hexen, which is half-remade(modern model in front of old pixelated sprite) and has some issues with performance.

On the other hand, sometimes I just run it to look on how great some models, effects and textures looks like.

I still recommend at least one playthrough to everybody to see, how great these old pieces can look like.

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

Screenshots from Hexen 1:

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
