Project
Release
Yes it is
out, download here:
ftp://3darchives.in-span.net/pub/idgames/levels/heretic/s-u/sinful.zip
Also FileFront will have
it soon too, but give them some time, they take a bit of time to
transfer files over.

It's
done, but you just can't get it......yet
I am done
with the WAD project, but http://www.filefront.com
has not posted it up yet.
I will let you know when it gets uploaded. I tried uploading to
3darchives.net but it has no incoming folder so forget that for
now. Meanwhile check out FileFront's Heretic section. There are
some old great classic Heretic levels by Pablo Dictter and Ken Phipps.
Beautiful maps to play on with Jheretic.

Release
Most Likely Next Week
Yep, I will
most likely release this WAD next week, if all goes well. This WAD
will require Jheretic for optimal functionality but should still
run fine on Wheretic. Vavoom doesn't seem to like the new sprites,
but I will see what can be done about that. Forget DOS Heretic,
it looks ugly under DOS and you will get VISPLANE errors along with
Save Game Buffer errors.
Sector size and limits in the DOS engine make modern mapping hard
for Heretic. Still need to make a new title screen. Also I need
to fiddle with a custom DED file.
By the way, E3M6 is no longer the Frozen Outpost, the layout is
pretty much the same but the level is now known as the Dark Vaults
due to some texture changing.

It
could be soon...
Okay all
the maps are done. What is important is that I really need to test
these levels out carefully. I have already had Pablo Dictter, a
fellow mapper to look it over and he has given me some great suggestions.
I think the levels are pretty tough, and you'll be running around
too much. It shouldn't be too difficult on easy, but I may need
to adjust this. I also would like to add a bit of detail here and
there in some maps. I have uploaded a few screenshots of E3M8 -
Influx. I also want
to reshuffle some of Heretic's music tracks so the right level has
the right feel. Also need to make a new title screen, customize
the Jheretic DED file, change the between mission sounds, etc. Head
over to the Projects
to scope out the new pics.
I'll report back next week.

Getting
there...
Maps E3M7
and E3M6 are now fully complete and I have uploaded 20 new screenshots
to the projects page. E3M8 will probably be finished this weekend
and then I can go back to each level and give them a once over and
implement the skill level settings. I also have to send the WAD
over to some people to test.
Skill
4/5 will be hard and will require careful strategy towards eliminating
enemies [lots of enemies and more cheaper enemies than skill 3,
2, or 1]
Skill 3 will be comparable
to the original Heretic's skill 3 and 4 in the episodes "The
Ossuary" and "Stagnant Demesne"
Skill 1/2 will be pretty easy, less monsters and different monsters
in the same location eg. on skill 4 there may be a maulotaur in
1 place, but perhaps an Iron Lich on skill 1 or 2.
I also have to add in multiplayer monsters like a few maulotaurs
for you and your friends to have fun with along with more ammo.
E3M6 is probably the best co-op level in the pack, but all levels
are co-op ready and long enough too [except level 1 which is short]
Head
over to the Projects
to scope out the new pics.

Additional
Information
Some good
news, I have given the project a name, the episode will be called
Sinful Discharge. I
have slightly redone the projects pages so head over
to the Projects
to scope out the changes. Furthermore, E3M5 is done, E3M6 is well
on its way. I have even gone back to E3M2, E3M3, E3M4, and E3M9
and have added all new areas to make the levels longer and more
playable. Also I have also decided to implement skill level settings.
There are a ton of new screenshots so check them out.

Changes
I have tons
of great news. For one the project is coming along quite well and
has some new features. I have managed to assemble some all new textures
using public domain freeware graphics from around the web. I have
also managed to dump in some different sprites, these sprites are
from Hexen. There are more screenshots on the projects page for
E3M3 and E3M9. Regretfully, E3M3 got deleted, however, since it
wasn't the map I made it doesn't really matter, I have made a new
one and it is completed as well E3M4 is done. E3M9 is about half
way there and should be done by the end of the weekend. Some of
the levels have different names and have updated information. Head
over to the Projects
to scope out the changes. Also, progress will slow this week since
I have midterm exams, but everything else is coming along well.
