My god this rocks so much. Why didn't the guy finish it?	x
Amazing set of levels. Don't be fooled, this is far more enjoyable than a good number of other "finished" wads. Only thing it seems to be really missing is an ending. One can only imagine how the final version would have been...	x
CoolD00d aproved	x
excellent quality but sadly it's unfinished	x
This would probably be the best WAD out there for Hexen if it were finished. As it is, though, it's fun at first (assuming you actually like Hexen), but starts getting annoying once every new thing you work to gets an "unfinished" message. Still worth seeing for some of the best outdoor vistas in a Hexen WAD.	x

Version                 : 0.92

Misc. Author Info       : Someone who enjoys Hexen editing too much.
Level Info              : Currently in this beta release there is 
the hub level, a town called Centromere. Off this level is The 
Ambush Point, The Magma Pass, The Great South Road and The Abandoned
Mines. The secret level is also included. When completed this will
hopefully have a total of 12 levels assuming that Hexen will allow 
12 levels in one cluster. (something I must investigate very soon)
The reason for this beta is that Hexen 2 is coming soon and I don't
think many people would look at this after Hexen 2's release.

* Play Information *

Level #                 : Hexen : Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10.
Single Player           : Yes.
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes.
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : The secret level (10) has support for
                          deathmatch. Other levels are not
                          deathmatch supported. If I had more
                          time I would put in the scripting for
                          the other levels too. Who knows, maybe
                          I'll convert it to Hexen 2 in the future.
Difficulty Settings     : No.
New Sounds              : No.
New Graphics            : No.
Demos Replaced          : No.

Known Bugs              : ok, here we go....

1. An incorrect wall texture on The Great South Road.
2. Texture alligning is not complete on some.. err most levels.
3. Pickup messages for 3 of the planet gems are displayed to all
   players in multi player games.
4. Deathmatch does not work well in any of the levels apart from
   the secret level (Level 10).
5. Every now and then the death wyvern on The Ambush Point decides
   that a wall is a much more appealing target than the next map
   spot. I have only noticed this in multi player co-op only.
6. For some reason that is completely beyond me, in multi player
   co-op when you pick up one piece of Quietus, Wraithverge or
   Bloodscourge you get the entire weapon assembled. 
   Hints on this anyone????
7. If you manage to find Yorick's Skull without cheats, well done
   however the scripting for returning it to Yorick is not complete.
8. It says ethereal travel when all you are doing is walking out
   a gate. This one I can't fix, live with it.

Using cheats in this is not reccommended as some scripts are tied
to picking up items, keys etc or to monsters. Scripts tied to 
monsters are not executed if you BUTCHER them.

I am in the process of completing this hub now. I would welcome any
email with comments, bugs or criticism (preferably constructive).

If you would like a copy of the level sent to you when it is completed,
mail me a request and I will add you to the list.
