A couple people have been asking for it. So here it is. I have been delaying this release since vv (the author) was speaking about improving it but never got to it... Disregard the bad documentation, it's been thrown in quickly :)

you can record movies and multiplayer demos now, Raven never cared to fix that apparently... it also has a couple interesting features too, just take a look.

Heretic-N accepts any demos recorded with it, even with longtics... for anybody that cares about it :)

you can download it here : http://www.geocities.com/peroxyd2s/.../vvhereticb.zip

Now someone go and implement -fakenet into Doom, since I can't fake it with ipxsetup anymore :)

Great! That's a pretty cool way to implement the changes.

I hope you guys can record a couple cool demos with it :)

btw, an interesting feature is the possibility to modify the size of the memory buffer... allowing huge -maxdemo (vv made a doom2.exe with this modification but never saw it). And this buffer increase apparently allows to play bigger maps w/o crashing...

Wish I knew. In the past I just used ipxsetup -nodes 1 -warp 1 stuff and it worked, but now it doesn't, says "IPX not detected". Hmm, maybe there's something I forgot over the years...

Donce, you need to install an IPX adapter.

Hehe, pretty obvious isn't it? :) Now I understand why it worked on a 486: these were times when I used to LAN and for that, obviously, I needed to install IPX protocol. Now I thought it should work just because the computer is connected to a local network, but yeah, forgot about that IPX thing. Hadn't tested yet (don't wanna reboot at the moment), will see tomorrow. Hmm, but I now wonder, how did I make it work in DOS.

this thread may help you :

http://www.doomworld.com/vb/showthr...ghlight=fakenet

it's about setting up fake IPX drivers to trick ipxsetup...
I think it even works under Windows XP Command Line.

What a shame, Final Doom Grand Master collection was one of the first things I've dowloaded from the net. Yes, I forget things... Thanks, I'll try that.

Sorry for reviving an old topic, you got to blame Angus for this :)
He showed some interest in making heretic demos using vv's hack.
So I ressurected the long dead heretic page.

Cool. I too, have been playing a bit of Heretic of late and quite enjoying it.

Nice to see the page back.

Edit:
I signed the GPL petition as well. Please Do check some of those names before sending it in please. Some are known bogus. such as number 7.

You can't remove names from that type of e-petition. The petition effort is mostly dead anyways. It was started several years ago and was ignored by the addressed parties when they were made aware of it. Also, it's not even really supposed to be online now. The site said it would only last for two years from the time it started. I was surprised to see it is still up and can still be signed. I figure it cannot hurt anything, anyways.

Our current effort is focused on trying to establish some personal contact with people in Raven and/or Activision and using the combined resources of the community to get them to realize the relicensing will be a good thing for everyone involved.
