About This File

This program was designed to make it easy and quick to use HEXEN to its full potential in terms of external wadfiles.

Its many feature is that it acts like a librarian which looks after your wad files. It allows you to catagorise your wadfile collection letting you choose the exact type of level you wish to use each time you play DOOM. All you have to do is to place the wadfile in the WADS directory and run HWAD.BAT as if you were going to play the level but you will be asked if you want to catagoris it and then you will be given a list of catagories, select one and your wad is safely filed away.

Wadfile Runner and Developer V2

By Nightmare

This program was designed to make it easy and quick to use HEXEN to its full
potential in terms of external wadfiles.

Its many feature is that it acts like a librarian which looks after your
wad files. It allows you to catagorise your wadfile collection letting you
choose the exact type of level you wish to use each time you play DOOM. All
you have to do is to place the wadfile in the WADS directory and run HWAD.BAT
as if you were going to play the level but you will be asked if you want to
catagoris it and then you will be given a list of catagories, select one and
your wad is safely filed away.

It takes care of all the type needed to run HEXEN with the command lines by
condensing them in to a set of simple and easy to use switches:

l - lists the wadfiles contained in %WADPATH%
t - edit/create textfile
m - modem [(C)all or (W)ait] [phone number(if Calling)]
[(D)eathmatch or (C)o-op] [level[XX]] [wadfile]

eg. For a modem game on deathmatch on map 1 where you were calling you would
type:

HWAD m c 012345678 d 01

If you just wanted to play a wad you would type:

HWAD wadname

This program also allows you to create textfiles for you wads using a template
that included in this package. To use it fill in the details of your favouite
editor at the top of the batchfile in the place provided then use the t switch
and the template will be loaded leaving you just to fill in the gaps and save
the file. Once your textfile is made it will be displayed every time you run
the wadfile.

I also had modems in mind when writing this program. I included a special
switch which allows modem owners to play over the phone with the same ease
as just playing on their own computer. For the best use I recommend that your
friend that you play with uses a copy of this program to insure no
"Consistance Errors". To setup your modem port just type COM number (eg. COM1)
and the IQR number (eg. 4) into the space provided in the batchfile.

TROUBLE SHOOTING.

As far as I know there is only one problem with this progra mand it is due to
a lack of memory. If you get a list of "Insuffient Environment Space" when
you run the program you may be experiencing this problem and the program will
fail at some point. To solve this problem run your system on a boot disk or
an alternative setup that gives you the maximum memory possible.

I have not tested this program in DOS mode in WIN95 but I imagine if you can
run HEXEN then you can run this.

Copyrights and Disclaimers.

HWAD is freeware so do distribute but please include this file.
HEXEN is a registered trademark of id software.
If you have problems with HWAD contact me on ainnes@tealing.demon.co.uk
although I cannot be held responsible for any viruses or damage caused due
to the use of this program as it was "clean" and uncerupted whe it left me.
This program has nothing to do with id so don't ask them for help!

  These levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this is a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.

  A really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.

  Only six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay. EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.

  Lots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches. Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.

  It's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
