BBS numbers: PKWare 1-414-354-8670 Other: Pass it around, give it to your best friend! I did! Comments : I really fell in love with DooM and DooM II, and when Heretic came out, I bought that, too. But I was really disappointed in the Heretic graphics (weapons) - I don't really like sword & sorcery. So I determined to port the Doom weapons graphics to Heretic. When I read about the Marines playing DooM in PC Gamer (plug), I had a friend download MARINE1.WAD for me, and started playing around with the sprites. I used NWT, but for some reason (me?) I couldn't get NWT to store a complete weapons sprite without giving a "shareware version detected" error message & dos dump-out. (But Heretic accepted it & played it). So I used NWT for importing & exporting and offsets, mostly - and viewing. Then I went to DeuTex for WAD formation. Then I went to DeuSF and appended everything to the IWAD, and finally got it all to run. It's kind of a Rube Goldberg way to make a DHE/Sprites/Sounds PWAD, but if it works, hey, why not? I really wish Olivier Montanuy would revive DeuTex and not WinTex - I really like the dos command line over Windows.
