Heretic Upstart Mapping Project (HUMP)

The Heretic Upstart Mapping project was made to get people into mapping for heretic. It includes many maps by people who had never mapped for heretic before, and some older maps that authors had never published.

NOTE: All maps are designed to be wand-started. They have been arranged roughly in order of difficulty, so continuous play will also work. To wand start: When you enter a map, type "engageXY" where X is the episode number and Y is the map number given below (So type engage11 for E1M1). This will restart the level with only your wand, staff and no items. Jumping and Crouching have been disabled in this wad. You will not be needing them.

Story: The servants of Korax, D'Sparil and Eidolon swept through Parthoris, wracking your homeland and murdering your kin. You fought valiantly, but as your city was overrun you were captured and imprisoned with many others, to be turned to golems or executed if the flesh was not willing. Waiting in your cell you saw the foul methods that were used on your brethren. Surely it would be your turn soon... The day all but yourself had perished or turned to the dark wills, a portal opened briefly in your prison cell. A small wand and staff dropped out, the portal immediately closing behind. To your astonishment, the means of escape lay at your feet. You praised who or whatever had sent help, tucking the wand into your belt and grasping the staff, you prepared yourself for what lay ahead...

Note that E1M5, E1M6 and E2M2 may not be finishable in Doomsday as they require boss actions to lower floors. Currently we haven't been able to work out the current boss action definitions for Doomsday. Any help would be appreciated. Likewise if anyone knows how to get heretic to display par times in the intermission we would also love to hear from you. You can email me at: thespidersrepublic@hotmail.com
