I wanted to check out the suggestion about adding new test capability as
was done in JUMP.WAD but I couldn't find it; where is it located?
Obligatory Wad Editing Question:
Stairs generally move up from the player; can a set of walk-over stairs
be made that either moves downward or starts from some point ahead of the
player and moves up to him? This could be done with a switch as the
standard stairs do at the end of E1 M8 which raises stairs; by raising
them toward the player instead of away from him, a downward staircase
could have been created. Does a walk-over stairbuilding linedef only
work for the sector it is attached to, or for the sector tag it has,
which typically (but does not have to be) the sector to be raised?

Subject: Heretic IWAD
I'm curious about the Heretic IWAD a bit. I tried renaming it from an
IWAD to a PWAD, and then loading it with a -file in Doom 1, and it didn't
work. Any ideas why? It just hung on initializing the files. i would
think it would work, since the format is the same, and any files that
Doom needs should be located in the main Doom wad for it to find. Come
to think of it, I guess I was asking for a bit much, but it was a good
try... :) (I just thought of several reasons why it wouldn't work)
On another note, what about releasing the sprites from the shareware
Heretic to be used with Doom? Ie, just rip the monster graphics out and
toss them in your Doom wad file. I'd imagine that's not legal, but how
is Id going to deal with it?
Just imagine: Aliens Heretic!

OK, so it didn't take a minute. My machine doesn't like to run Heretic
after running Linux and I have to reset it. Add to that the fact that I
made a lot of items multiplayer accidentally and screwed up the floor
textures.
BUT! I got the shit. Several items which appear in the wad file do NOT
show up in play in the beta release. We can assume that these WILL work in
the shareware release and that they are weapons/monsters that ID/Raven
didn't want to waste space on.
However, here are the items I could identify
DOH! I didn't get to look at 32 and 33. Perhaps an appendix is in order.

10 wand crystal AMG1
12 crystal geode AMG2
17 skull hanging on rope (face left, with jaw) SKH1

35 map scroll SPMP
44 barrel BARL

I'm sure you've all tried iddqd under heretic: it kills you! The other
cheats bring up accordingly nasty remarks, and don't do anything. Does
anyone know if heretic _has_ built in cheats?

Subject: more "things"
After Cheryl's post I have investigated some things that were not
exercised in the three missions provided to us. Therefore, an extended
list...
6 Mr. Skull Head HEAD
15 Wizard WZRD
33 torch item TRCH
37 small stalagmite STGS
38 big stalagmite STGL
43 pop-pod spawner -
45 Greater mummy MUMM
46 Greater shadow mummy MUMM
69 Lesser shadow mummy MUMM
blue teleporter glitter TGLT[F-J]0
Thank you Cheryl!
I was unable to figure out which item the blue teleporter glitter was. I
haven't yet tricked Heretic into using PWADS, but it could be that my marker
resource was inexplicably lower case :/

The following post regarding Heretic cheats is on
rec.games.computer.doom.misc. Does anyone know how to find out the cheats,
I have no idea how it's done. Surely not trial and error?!?

The cheats (for those who don't know yet):
ravrambo = idfa
ravskel = all keys
ravquicken = iddqd
ravmap = iddt
ravgimme = idbehold (follow the prompts, item 'd' doesn't work)
ravcockadoodledoo try this out yourself.. hehehe

Ah, cool. Is this the longest list anyone has? I assume Romero is going
to release a complete list Friday?

I didn't have any problem at all, using a PWAD I created with WADED. I
really need the things list and specials list so I can implement them
into WADED. Anyhow, WADED v1.68beta is available at ftp.cdrom.com in
both pub/doom/incoming and pub/heretic/incoming. It can create maps for
Heretic, but the things and specials for linedefs are all wrong, of course.

Lots of those pictures (TGLT[F-J]0) are used together for #74, the
teleport start.
Others:
65: Invisble Knight
(Oh, I'm using a hacked version of DEU 5.3 Alpha with a converted things
table. It should make a Heretic editing merge into DEU 5.3 much much
easier. That is, if the latest DEU 5.3 alpha will ever get to the
programmers.. *AHEM*)
