Yeah works fine with IFRAG...just rename the hexen.exe to
heretic.exe and change your paths in ifrag.cfg and away u go...the only
thing is I haven't figured out the command line option for different
characters? -character 0,1,2 maybe...anyway ifrag works great weve been
playin it here at LTU for a couple of weeks now...

Well, *each* level has a 'BEHAVIOR' entry. I guess (didn't try using
wintex myself) that the lump called BEHAVIOR you see is only the
'BEHAVIOR' of the last level. So wintex doesn't recognize all
entries but overwrites some... Take any program that produces a
listing of the wad directory to verify this.
Another difference: the level headers (MAP01 etc.) are no longer
empty 'tags' but actually contain data (12 bytes). And trying to load
a level in my homebrew level viewer gave a tremendous crash. Sniffing
around a bit in the wad file teached me that the LINEDEF entries were
no longer multiples of 14 bytes but multiples of 16 bytes. Clearly
there is an extra word in each linedef.
Anyone knows when the UDS (UHxS ?) are updated, I want to know what
these three changes (BEHAVIOR, MAPxy, and LINEDEF) mean...
Luc.

I managed to crash my editor too, but it was a really stupid programming
error that never got exercised before.

Well, things have doubled in size (to 20 bytes) too.
This is what I figured out before reality caved in my spare time:
struct thing {
short unknown1;
short x,y;
short unknown2;
short unknown3;
short type;
short unknown4, unknown5, unknown6, unknown7;
};
And I have deduced the following thing types. Be suspicious of anything that
isn't a visible object. I have certainly made mistakes, and probably mixed up
the various rock and stalactite sprite correspondences too.
I really need to get a second machine in my home office so I can
1) play deathmatch and see the extra things, and
2) so I can use PFME to view the level at the same time I explore it.
I suspect that some groups of things are different states of the same object
(lit/unlit torch), and some linedef triggers cause these objects to toggle
(MAP02, darkening rooms).

Don't use WinTex 3.4 or DeuTex with HEXEN. They were not updated.
Use WinTex 4.0

Linedef and think size is different.

Behaviour is some pseudo-code for scripts.
Lindef has a second tag, probably related to scripts.
