xHeretic is a port of the fantasy first person shooter Heretic. It is based on HHeretic, UHexen and Heretic32 (GP32 port by A600).

Installation

Extract v1.0, copy heretic.wad (full version) or heretic1.wad (shareware version) to the folder where you installed xHeretic.

Open v1.1, overwrite the default.xbe and edit and copy the wads.cfg file if you want to use the wad selector.

For the wad selector, edit the wads.cfg included and add as many entries as you want. The syntax is very easy:

[name displayed] = [commandline options]

Copy it to the xHeretic folder along with the wads. Next time you run xHeretic, a wads selector will be displayed.

If the wads.cfg only has one entry, the wads selector won't appear and it'll run that entry.

You can add up to 4000 entries and use options like -warp, etc. Here is an example:

#Heretic wads
Heretic = 
A Dark Day in Hell = -file darkday.wad
Abbey3 = -file abbey3.wad
Asteriel = -file asteriel.wad
BAB Heretic = -file babhtdm.wad
Creatures of Light and Darkness = -file cold10.wad
Enchanter = -file enchantr.wad
Frags96 = -file frags96.wad
House of Horror = -file horror.wad
LHET = -file lhet400.wad
The Crypts = -file crypts.wad -warp 1 7
