Heretic demos (non-demopack and NM)


Recommended Posts

@aconfusedhuman Excuse me, did you use the repeat demo button, or you close the game and reopen every try? I mean, I only can change the starting player angle reopening the game because of the loading time since heretic doesn't have screen melt.

Ohh really? Think that might be unfair with old runs, but don't know if any old heretic port has that feature.

Yeah, like juancho said, dsda-doom has a screenmelt for heretic. JCD told me that old ports didn't have a screenmelt for it which would make quickstarting a bit trickier, but I suppose a lot are playing heretic on dsda-doom nowadays :)

I hope not to sound like a whining noob, but I don't agree with this doom migrated feature, this means easier extra tics.

 

I know this is an advantage, but I feel this is more like a game modification, like those common weird zdoom features. 

(also with hexen)

E1M1 UVMAX/SMMAX 1:31.11 (-2.60)

h1m1-131.zip

 

 

 

So now I know why people don't do lots of UVMAX on Heretic. Not sure how the forces of D'sparil managed to conquer shit considering that their entire army gets stuck on every single door. Just lead them into a shopping mall and ignore them....

 

Might be because this land invented the single worst shotgun (Crossbow) in a doom style game....

I understand it's WAY to late to complain, but just as my 2 cents: It shouldn't have be done because it gives completely unfair advantage over other exe's.

I think you can do quick start turning with exe? It's a built-in feature of Doom engine, maybe.

 

Honestly, using sourceport is already one type of "unfairness" towards whoever is using vanilla, so there's no real clear cut on these topics. I once said in-game resets definitely let you push records way harder, and they did, but on the other hand, launching the exe from the start is just wasting unnecessary time and it doesn't really provide any actual challenge.

 

While, extended HUD for Max is another topic.
