I guess I should make a tips TXT on how to configure heretic.exe :)
1 - you noticed that setup.exe doesnt allow to change the use item key, but it is possible. In heretic.cfg you can add the line "key_useartifact [key number]" to change the use item key to whatever you want. Just make sure you dont open setup.exe anymore, or it will remove it.
2 - as mentionned before "joyb_speed 29" gives autorun
3 - backspace is shortcut to activate the tome of power
4 - if you have more than 2 buttons mouse and a fancy mouse driver, you can bind a key stroke to a mouse button, like the use item key to your middle button. Same with your flying keys, so on. Under Win98 I use the intellimouse 4.12 even if my mouse is a logitech, works great and saves time. I guess it could work under XP too, but I never tried.
5 - very neat trick far non-autorun users like me. When you hold your run key down and press use item key, it skips to the next item. To use the item, just release the running key and press use item again. It is very neat to quickly browse your items while still moving, and just stop running for a split second to activate your item. My use item key is bound to my middle mouse button, so I can keep on strafing and moving while changing/using items, it's very neat :)
About Wheretic, Dashiva wanted to take over wheretic and improve it. Robin said he would think about and had to fix some of the code before he did so. It never happened and never wanted to hand the source either. And also, his code is in Watcom C, dash said he could not use it just like that.
@Method:
you could try Wheretic it but they would not award any points at Heretic-N, because heretic.exe runs very decently with -nosound or with VDMsound under WinXP, no excuses not to run it :) When a port like prboom or chocolate doom will perfectly run heretic.exe demos, then you will be able to use that. But not now...
