RK Heretex, a texture pack for Heretic

[RottKing]

Hello! Another rare thread from me, this time in the form of a small Heretic texture pack that consists of frankensteined / recolored stock Heretic textures. Nothing super ambitious here, it's more like a supplementary pack for Heretic's small texture pool. It's likely i'll add more to it later on, but I figure why not release it as-is now instead of sitting on it for ages right?

I'll be following this 🤓

Excellent stuff!
Finally I can actually enjoy trying to make Heretic maps.

Here's a small map I made trying out these texture edits, I have instantly become a RKH143 fan:

This is great! I'm commenting to bookmark this for download next time I'm at my computer. Hopefully this is a tease for your next Heretic episode. Thank you!

[Walter confetti]

Awesome stuff, it look pretty useful!

[RottKing]

Thanks ya'll! I already started making some more stuff, so an update should be coming in the next week or two

[Egregor]

Just downloaded and hey, these are great! I especially like the darker, grittier, textures. These types of textures have been largely overlooked by the types of Heretic resources found on Realm667, and are a greatly appreciated contrast to Heretic's comic book primary color stock textures.

[RottKing]

Thanks! Looking over them again, I probably went a bit overboard with the slight variations of brightness / color for some of them... I always think to myself "but what if they wanted THIS shade???", and then i throw my hands up and just toss it on the pile.

For what it's worth, these slight variations matter a lot more with Heretic's pure colormapping than they do in Doom, where everything just turns brown or gray after you get 100 pixels away from it. When I texture my maps, I'm constantly finding that I want a slightly different shade of something.

[RottKing]

Hello! Here's another update, a pretty large one too. A few new sets have been added, and I completely revamped the naming scheme for all textures. I couldn't deal with it being so messy anymore so I gave them all a more proper naming convention, it should be much easier browsing through now that they're grouped up and ordered better. https://www.dropbox.com/s/z4e3dksfpxq8pfu/rk_heretex-v2.zip?dl=0

Cool pictures collection for Heretic and Hexen satanas filtres.

A very welcome set of "meat and potato" Heretic style textures, with the right type of color variation for making setting long neglected in Heretic. One type of texture-category I feel is still missing from this set though; wood color variants, for both textures and flats. It would also be nice to have some wood textures without any seams for use with octagonal dungeon and castle pillars, and similarly, wood flats without seams for use with "heretic-cute" furniture (tables, desks, etc.) as well as ceiling crossbeams. Just a suggestion, since you seem to be on a texture creation roll! Again, thank you!

I'll see what I can come up with for some wood stuff, thanks for the feedback!

[Ludi]

I'm not exactly a huge Heretic fan, but these are rad as hell! Particularly fond of the tile texture edits. 

[RottKing]

I got on a roll again and came up with a set of wood textures, hopefully to @Egregor 's liking! (there's seamless wood!) I also added a few new things to the stone and metal section.

Hey, these look terrific. There are several here that look like they will work great for octagonal pillars and 'round tables'. Thanks for endulging me. Now I'll really have to make a point to do some Heretic mapping with them!

[RottKing]

Thanks, glad you like'em. Seeing maps made with these will be cool

[Decay]

Can't believe I missed this thread, the textures look great. Definitely look forward to making use of these!

[c0mbolynch]

Can you make for doom 2, too?

[hereticfan]

Great textures. Thanks.

Not any plans at the moment to convert it to Doom 2, sorry!

Take a look and tried to do a vanilla map for it, first thing is: that's a lot of textures and all of them are awesome!

Second thing is that i found this weird texture bug on the floor while testing it in chocolate heretic 3.0.1:

Spoiler

 

Not sure if this happens in other limit removing ports as well...

EDIT: No, this bug happens only in choco. Crispy Heretic (5.12.0) and Eternity 4.0.2 worked perfectly.

Is the bug that the entire screen turns black? Or did you just forget to capture the game?...

[Shanoa]

Oooh, just seen this. What a fantastic selection of textures and flats, excellent work @RottKing.

Ah, crap! I thought it recorded all!

Anyway, the bug is the sector screws up hardly when stock flats are used...

Huh, yeah i see what you mean having just tested it myself, no idea what could be causing that.
