Title - Ichor: Blood of the Gods - Carnage Galore II
File Name - ichor.wad
Author - Robert Eckhardt
Email - beans@visi.net
Description - You thought carnage.wad was hard, well this new one makes it
look easy. Not only is it much harder, but it is HUGE. It is
nine levels covering the entire Dome of D'Sparil episode. You
will be able to finish the level without having to find any
secrets, although some areas will seem like they are. To kill
all the enemies (especially the Chaos Serpents), you will
have to find all, if not most, of the secrets.
Story - One hundred years ago a warrior stopped D'Sparil from sum-
moning Vuradi, the powerful being which was to destroy the
world, as an act of vengance for an earlier defeat at the
hands of the Sidhe. But now evil is pervading the world once
more. Could D'Sparil have returned? You journey to the canyon
fortress only to find it decadent, deserted except for a few
rouge gargoyles inhabiting the area. The sun is obscured by a
thick, sinister looking fog, practically turning day into
night. As you step onto the teleporter to enter the fortress,
instead of entering the fortress, a section of the canyon
lowers, revealing a dark, narrow corridor. "This is certainly
new," you say to yourself as you make your way for what lies
ahead...
Installation - Simply type in ichload and it will do the rest. You only need
to do it once. After that, just type in ichor and it will
play the modified version. It will not touch the heretic exe,
but instead use a different one called iheretic.exe. Just be
certain to have all the files that were in the zip archive in
the heretic directory.

uses a duplicate exe file and leaves the
original alone
hhe.ini : the configuration file that hhe uses, currently
set for version 1.3 DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE
ichload.bat : type ichload to load the hhe file to what will
be iheretic.exe

You may distribute this ewad as long as you do not change anything about it.
You might be able to use one of these levels to build your own wadfile, but I
just like to see you try. These levels push the limits of Heretic and any
additions to any of these levels will cause quite a few problems. If somehow
you do manage to be able to change or add on to the levels, do NOT distribute
the edited version.
