Short: Amiga port of the game Heretic(v0.1) Author: Jesper Svennevid (chip@ramses.ml.org) Uploader: Jesper Svennevid (chip ramses ml org Type: game/shoot Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a Amiga port of the PC-game Heretic, by Raven Software. The source was released on 11th January 1999, and I downloaded it the day after to look over how easy it was to port it, and this is the results. :) It's not that fast yet, but it has potential to become faster atleast. A PowerUP-version should follow soon, when I locates the crash-bugs in the startup when booting on PPC. You'll need either the shareware or the registered wad to play heretic, and it must be in the same directory, named "heretic.wad". WARNING! This version is _UNSTABLE_, I have had several odd crashes while porting it, and will not take ANY responsibility for odd crashes, destroyed hardware(tho' VERY unlikely :), and other distasters (like earthquakes, acid rain or that your neighbour starts hating your guts :) Remember to keep stack high when starting Heretic, as I have compiled without stackchecking to get higher fps. It runs nicely with 200kB stack on my system atleast. AHeretic runs on a OS-screen and should multitask happily. When started it loads the wad-file and then request for a screenmode, and it's supporting both AGA and GFX-boards. Remember to add enough disk-buffers to get smooth playing (I use addbuffers : 1000, but it should work very good with less) AHeretic uses parts of ADoom by Peter McGavin for establishing more stable, amiga-like handling of output and input. Currently it just uses the 64-bit math routines and the input-handler. I will try to apply as much of the changes done to AHeretic that has been done to ADoom, and get as much as possible of the amiga-specific Adoom-code into AHeretic, thus creating a stable and very flexible Heretic-port. This will take a few days, so have patience :) Chunky To Planar algorithm is by Mikael Kalms. It's currently only optimized for 040+ systems. You can control Heretic by using either keyboard or joypad. Mouse is not yet fully functional, tho' it will be soon. Some cheats for those of you who don't feel like doing fair play: ;P God Mode - quicken No Clip - kitty All Weapons - rambo Full-Strength Weapons - shazam Full Health - ponce All Keys - skel Chicken Mode - cockadoodledoo Massacre - massacre There are a few cheats missing here, but I haven't gotten them to work correctly...
