You can download it in the Files Section. 10/06/04 The Shadowlord Full H2Siege Entities List I decided to make a complete H2Siege Entities List for you mappers out there.

Note: If you D/L the update earlier today make sure you d/l the H2Siegev2.3Update2.zip. It includes the corrected H2Siege map. 2/7/03 The Shadowlord I was bored, so I decided to code in an Upgrade system that works with gold. Each player start with 500 gold and as they kill other players they gain more gold. Once they have enough gold, they may purchase an upgrade from a list of Upgrades, such as Blue blade, Armor increase, mana increase, health increase, and much more. I thought this would add an interesting twist. Get it in the Files Section. 6/24/02 The Shadowlord Heretic II Siege v2.1 Beta is Released. I haven't spent much time lately to test everything on my own, so I decided to release a public beta version. This version includes many fixes, additions, and two new maps. One of which is Ogle2, which is a continuation of Ogle1 map. The other is Ogle Outpost (Not tested), which is an Attackers vs Defenders map where the Attackers have to rescue the Ogles from the Defenders. This version also includes a rough chase cam, which I have not had the opportunity to test it much, so it may be buggy. You can download H2Siege v2.1 Beta in the Files Section. If any bugs are found, please send an e-mail to siege@raven-games.com with details on the bug. Thank you 12/31/01 The Shadowlord Happy New Years! I just finished updating the Screen Shots Section with images of the new Ogle Rescue Mission 2 map by Rogue Rodent. Rogue Rodent has been working hard and is doing a great job on the new map. Some old friends from Ogle1 are back, such as Cartman Ogle, Kenny Ogle, and Timmy Ogle. Rogue Rodent has also been working on a new improved version of Ogle1 "Out to Lunch". Both maps will include a new South Park Voice Pack. The maps will be release with an updated version of Heretic II Siege, which will include new entities and some minor changes. 9/22/01 The Shadowlord I updated the Classes Section to reflex the changes in Heretic II Siege v2.0. I'm also working on a new oil entity, which triggers env_fires to light when it hit by a fire attack. 6/18/01 The Shadowlord I made a quick prefab of a Siege Ramp for any mapper who is interested. This is a pushable ramp, which you can use to climb towers or walls. You can download it in the Files Section. 3/23/01 The Shadowlord Heretic II Siege v2.0 is Released!

I planned to release Heretic II Siege v2.0 this Sunday along with the new Ogle Mission map. We ran into some problems with the map, which delayed the release, but we eventually overcame the problem. Tomorrow I will try to run a final beta, and squish any bug or try to fix any balance issue that may arise . Assuming all goes well, you guys will be rescuing Ogles by Sunday night. Get ready to experience something that you have never experienced before. 3/10/01 The Shadowlord Just giving you an update on the progress of v2.0. I have been doing some tweaking, adding and changing a few things. I am really happy with what I have got so far and I updated all the maps. Now what does this mean? This means that I expect to release v2.0 very soon. How soon? I plan to release it in about a week, just in time for spring break. Now all that is left for me to do is finalize the new ogle map and to run a final beta test. 1/11/01 The Shadowlord Just letting you guys know that Heretic II Siege v2.0 is still under development. Rogue Rodent was gracious enough to lend his talents and work on a new Siege map. This map isn't like the the previous maps, but an Ogle Rescue Mission Map. The map is more of a Coop style map, but on a DM Siege Server. The map also includes new elements never before seen in Heretic II. I have added two new Screen Shots of new Ogle Rescue map in the Screen Shots Section. Rogue Rodent is doing a great job with the mapping and his work is very impressive. I will like Thank Rogue Rodent for helping out. Thanks RR! If you not familar with Rogue Rodent's work check out his site: The Rodent Zone. I plan to release v2.0 after the map is completed and after I have finished the beta testing. So keep an eye out for the new and improved v2.0. Mappers Wanted: If you are a mapper and you are instead in making a Siege map please contact me at: theshadowlord@raven-games.com. I would prefer to work with a mapper before the release of v2.0 so that I can give code support like I'm doing with Rogue Rodent. 9/10/00 The Shadowlord I have been busy working on the next version of Siege. I have been making some changes to the Siege. The next version will includes new weapons, new class abilities, and new spell lists for the Wizard and Necromancer, which will make them more diverse. After I finish testing I will release version 2.0 of Siege. But for now you can go to Screen Shots section and take a peek at the Succubus' grenades, the Assassin's tripmine, and at other new features. 8/5/00 The Shadowlord Good news for all you German Siege players. I just added a German translation of the Siege documents in the Files section. Thank you Honest_John for translating the documents. 8/1/00 The Shadowlord -MONSTER- was kind enough to make self extracting files for Siege. You can now download the Full Client v1.1 and you don't need to run any bat files. You don't need to download v1.0 if you download the full version. You can the files at -MONSTER-'s Domain. I also linked the files in Files section. I have added a new How To... section. This section shows you how to use the ballistas, the catapults, plus a few other things.

An Amiga client connect to -MONSTER-'s server and everything worked great. Just incase you don't know, Amiga players can play on PC servers and vice versa. So Expect the Amiga version to be released very soon. I just finished updating the server files to include a new server variable to disable the precache of the player models. This update only adds the new server variable and nothing more. You don't have to update your client files. You can download the server files in the Files section. This update is mainly for the benefit of Amiga players and players with low RAM. Also note this is the PC version. 7/16/00 The Shadowlord I just noticed that my contact information was wrong. If you sent an e-mail to theshadowlord@hereticii.com and I didn't respond, it is because I no longer have e-mail at hereticii.com. You can contact me at theshadowlord@raven-games.com 7/15/00 The Shadowlord Heretic II Siege is currently being ported over to Amiga. Soon all you Amiga players will be able to join in the battle. 6/30/00 The Shadowlord Heretic II Siege v1.1 Is Released! If you had problems connecting to the server, please update your files to v1.1. I have reduced connection packets sizes, which in turn reduces connection problems.

Files also available at -MONSTER-'s Domain Thanks -MONSTER-! Enjoy! 6/23/00 The Shadowlord I just added a sample map, which shows you how to make start rooms and how to setup the teleporters. You can find the map in the files section. I will try to make more sample maps to help out mappers who wish to make maps for Heretic II Siege. 6/23/00 The Shadowlord Heretic II Siege site as finally moved over to raven-games.com. Now I just have to fix a few things on the page before every thing is set. I have been working on the next version of Siege. In this new version I reduce connection packet sizes in order to minimize connection problems. I made the catapults a bit more user friendly. Along with a bugs fixes, it will also include new customizable objects and customizable ambient sounds. I'm also working on the new Ogle Rescue and Escort Mission. In this mission the goal of the players is to rescue a group of Ogles and to get them safely across the map to win. If all Ogles are lost then the mission is lost. I have added my OGLE FOLLOWER INTELLIGENCE CODEã, which basically means that the Ogles on the players’ team will follow any player in site around the map. I also added a fighter Ogle, which is a more aggressive Ogle, who will fight any enemy monster or enemy player it sees. I plan to release the next version soon. Now it looks like I no longer have a mapper to help with the Ogle map, so I may just release the next version with out the Ogle map. When I find another mapper or complete the map myself, I will then release it separately. 4/25/00 DraX Heretic II Siege v1.0 has officially released!! To commemorate the release of Siege, I have redesigned the site and offered to help The Shadowlord with it's upkeep. Go grab Siege now from our Downloads section and start playing!!! 4/13/00 The Shadowlord Heretic II Siege is coming soon! I plan to release Heretic II Siege version 1.0 either this weekend or sometime next week. Hopefully by that time this site will have a new look to celebrate the release. 4/10/00 The Shadowlord Gwynhala just finished converting the Purgatori model, which I will be using for the Succubus. Head over to Classes section to check her out. You can download Purgatori at The Shrine of the Ovum. Expect to see Heretic II Siege Version 1.0 in about a week or two. I added some pictures of the new Succubus model in the Screen Shots section. I also added a sneek peek of the Cleric's new "Wrath of God" spell in the upcoming version 1.0. 3/30/00 The Shadowlord ùtøpiâ just recently interviewed me on the subject of Heretic II Siege. So if you haven't had a chance to read it, you can check it out here. Also I'm starting testing for the final version of Heretic II Siege this weekend. If you're interested in testing send me an e-mail. 3/11/00 The Shadowlord I would just like to thank Balr14 for making a Siege Ad banner for me. So keep your eyes peeled for it. Thanks Balr14! 3/10/00 The Shadowlord I been working on new version of Siege and I added a new status display. So there is no need to memorize which icon is which and how much mana you need to cast a spell. The status displays class infomation and will give you information on spells such as name and cost. If you want to take peek at the status display go to the Screen Shots section. I added icons to the items section. I updated team contact information by adding the people who contributed to Siege. I also updated the Classes section with class info on the new version of Siege, which I'm currently working on. 2/27/00 The Shadowlord I have updated the Screen Shots section with a new pic of my new Siege map. 2/7/00 The Shadowlord If you use the lastest version of PingTool you don't need to use the bat file included in Siege. This is not true when you use Gamespy, since Gamespy doesn't set the game before you connect. 2/4/00 The Shadowlord Arr ther' be pirates says I! I added a new screenshot, in the Screen Shots section, of a new Ship to Ship Sea Battle Siege map that I'm currently working on. If you wish to make your own map go to the files section and download the entities lists. Siege allows you to make a variety of maps/games other then the basic game type where the defenders protect the crown and attackers try to capture the crown. For example you can make maps where both teams try to capture the other team's crown (Castle vs Castle), or have both teams try to capture the same crown (Assault), or even make coop style maps where all the players are on the same team and the monsters defend the crown. So as you can see, there are a variety of map/game types you mappers can make and choose from. In Heretic II Siege every map is a different experience. . |
