Heretic1 + Hexen1

[inkub0]

GREAT !

Dear all,

some more comments:

If you dont like the extreme player bobbing while walking, skyjake gave us a wonderful cvar for that:

View-bob-height (default =1)

A value of 0.5 is great.


If you played through all the official maps of Heretic / Hexen, be sure to play the fan-made ones. They have a great quality too.

Biggest archive I know (with detailed description, reviews and benchmarks): klick me hard

You can easily load fan-made maps (= "wads") in doomsday within the console:

load my.wad

(replace "my" with the wad´s name you want to load)

For Hexen, the biggest and best episode you cannot miss is:
The Mage's Tower of Hexen (site has just been updated)


Have fun,
Seven

Hello Spinvis,

Nice to see you back in action.
A warm welcome hug to you in Africa !

You forgot to post that there is also a new High res decoration released in the meantime:
The brown pillar.

Hope to see you more often again now my friend.

Best wishes,
Seven

Thanks Seven, totally missed that update.

Is there a way to make the FOV larger? I'm playing Hexen and it seems like everything is kinda zoomed in. Perhaps I'm used to FOV 110 of quake.

Also, the new textures look awesome!

[Seven]

Hello Magnus,

It depends on the engine you are using.

I think that all engines support different FOV´s though.
That is really a standard feature.

If you use Doomsday you can find FOV settings in the options panel:



In other engines you may need to use extensions/shortcuts. I dont know.

Kind regards,
Seven

I'm using Doomsday Engine Frontend 1.2, I got the latest beta from the doomsday page.

I've uploaded my launcher pic. I've never seen anything that looks remotely like the picture you posted.

When I load hexen it has the same menu hexen did back in the 90's.

I installed this: deng-1.9.0-beta6.9-setup.exe

Ahh I see Magnus.

The control panel to adjust the FOV is INSIDE the game.
So, what you want to do is:
- start Hexen (with the "play" button).
- once in game, press "ESCAPE" key
- move one position down to "control panel"
There you go

Have fun,
Seven

Hi guys, just been playing JHeretic in doomsday again today and can't help noticing theres some things still undone, namely; Iron Liche death anims and Desciple's death anims. they are still sprites and need modeling/particle effects adding, I only mention it because I'm not sure if I have missed the new models or if its just my pc playing up and they are fine for everyone else.
OR, of course, if they are still to-be-done...

any info on this would be greatly appreciated...

thanks in advance
Latchford

[osjclatchford]
