About This File

DeHackEd is a tool, that changes the way, how the DooM executable works, that means, how the game DooM behaves. This package contains all the outdated versions of the tool. The latest version of DeHackEd by Greg Lewis, that is v3.0a, can be found in the /idgames -ftp -archives (see current list of mirrors at the end of this file) here: utils/exe_edit/dhe30a.zip DeHackEd v3.1 is able to work with Final DOOM. That update has been done by John A. Kaczmarski Jr. (74017.3225@compuserve.com or jkacz@en.com). It is avaiable in the /idgames-archives here: utils/exe_edit/dhe31.zip Although the newer versions have good downwards compatibility to older deh-patches, there are still sometimes one or two problems, when you try to use very old dehacked-patches with the latest versions of Dehacked (3.0a/3.1) and DooM(I and II v. 1.9). Because of that, you should import any antique deh-patch into the doom.exe-version, for that it has been created. Use for this action the dehacked version, that has been used to create the deh-patch. Then export the changes from the modified DooM.exe by using a newer version of DeHackEd, that is able to create patches, that are compatible with newer versions of DooM and Dehacked. It is important to know, that only dehacked 2.3 and 2.4 support DooM versions from 1.2 to 1.9. Since DeHackEd v.3.0, only DooM versions from 1.666 upwards are supported. Old deh-patches require often older versions of the doom(2).exe, to work properly. Start with downgrading DooM with /utils/exe_edit/downgrd.zip from Ultimate Doom v1.9 to Doom v1.1 And doom2.exe with /utils/exe_edit/dm2dwngr.zip from 1.9 to 1.666. (The file locations are from the /idgames archives, see list of current mirrors below). Upgrade from those low versions to the required version by using the official patches.

Absolutely legendary, and still very useful, as there are a lot of deh patches in these older formats.

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
