heXen

Hmmm, I hoped it was divided from DooM 3 itself... I'll have to reinstall DooM 3 now. Thanks for the help anyway.

Well, my dream is a game that has everything in it - serious slashing and bashing, stealth, magic and fantasy, storyline, role-playing, strategy, riddles and puzzles. The closest games were heXen and somewhere Giants Citizen Cabuto. But I suppose such game is impossible for the next 50 years.

Is there an editor anyway? My version definately has only DooM itself in it, even though FarCry has an editor.

If I could mod... Well, I suppose everyone says that. Anyway, with this doom editor, can someone with absolutely zero knowledge of modding make a mod for doom 3? Or maybe you can read some tutorials? I'm not talking about expert modding, just for fun, you know.

A much better thing to hit the wall with is the hammer. The whole block will wake up.

Well, I personaly play on expert so there isn't any particular use of weapons, except zombies. You don't use anything but blackjack on guards/masons.

Speaking of saves again, I can congratulate myself - I played through crag prison for about an hour and I still didn't save, even though I killed all zombies and blackjacked 3 guards. In the first level, I saved after every first guard or opened door and before any guard. I just have that terrible habit. Even now the game is paused, not saved... I wonder how sparrowhawk playes the game - if he can't cope with Fable... Okay, I'm back to Thief now... And those bastards didn't give me any moss arrows... And, what, noise arrows can be used twice? Got killed. Oh, well, I'm no thief, Korax is, Korax will be... It was fun anyway...

To fingernail - you are No 2 member. Who was No 1?! Speaking of saves - most games ported from consoles has problems with saves. Anyone played turok 2 around here? The game is just WEIRD. But a cool game too, one of the rare ones that have hub system. THis game has a habit that in the console version, you could save only in certain places, that were very far. Also, if you die, but have "lives" left, you are ressurected at the beginning of the level but had to kill all the monsters again. Well, you had to kill them again every time you changed levels. Same with the saving - don't save yourself in the wrong place, or next time you load, there may be a bunch of raptors running at you.

I'll try to find it. Nice... Is there something like that in DooM, Atti? I shouldn't have done that... Now I had to use the crater of might... Still, heXen is not just fights... I think is was Kokak's Heritage, not Korax. I thought it was another graphical improvement, so I didn't look into it. You know any graphical improvements for monsters and weapons? In 2D, I mean, the 3D-models don't look well, besides, there is only ettin model for heXen. Also, there is a hud improvement for Heretic, but I didn't see any for heXen. There isn't any additional gore in jheXen. It's the mod then. I remember seeing a screen of Kokak's mod, and the first mage weapon was yellow, not blue there. I suppose they tweaked the graphics a bit. But heXen/Heretic always lacked blood, that would be nice.

How to reply pm's? I have 3 already... I found a stupid bug in the game. In the masons level, there are a lot of water, and if you run away from a mason, he'll run after you in the water. Then he, of course, dies. And the game does not end on expert. After killing 2 masons like that I decided to replay... Heh...

I thought they were both making this thief project!

Ha, I was doing that too! Only it was s s s...

Don't fight so much over a stupid game...

Cool, did he added gore too? I don't remember any in heXen. Just corpses. Can you give a link to the mod? And souls - reminds me of the clerics wraithwerge. Cleric is my favorite class - his fletchettes are the best, and wraithwerge is just devastating! What is gp for?

If there shouldn't be any fighting, just remove the bow and sword. What are they for then?

I like your idea of different weapons, but I don't think 3D-person view fits Thief. It's cheating.

Who was the first boss?

This topic is useless anyway.

Yeah, that's too. You need to hit the head with the blackjack. If you hit with arrow, he dies. If you hit the leg, he slows down. If arm, he fights worse. If torso, just regular damage, hit him two or three times to kill him.

Well, my first version of heXen beyond Heretic + Deathkings of the Dark Citadel came with additional 50 games, including Heretic + Shadow of the Serpent Riders, Duke Nukem 3D, DooM, Warcraft II Tides of Darkness + Beyond the Dark Portal, and a bunch of games I don't like C&C, Settlers, bla-bla. None of them were ripped, except the movies. But I usually get heXen from here - www.abandonware-france.com . It's a site of old games, full unripped versions. That disk was thrown out, mainly because at that time, I didn't know about DooMsday and my parents thought I will spoil my eyes playing Heretic/heXen. But thanks to DooMsday heXen looks better than heXen II, with the exception of Thysis (Egypt) area.

Well, I personaly never saved at all - with so many potions and resurection phials it's pretty useless, the only thing that annoyed me is death of traders and I had to do all over again. THe save system reminds me of Turok 2 - you save your position, but monsters are renewed.

Well, his head was above the water. But if I threw him in the pond, yes, he should have died. But I suppose the game's physics can't recognise a head lying somewere. Please remove that bug in our mod - if the head in the water, he dies, if not, he's unoncious. If that wasn't made in Thief 2 or 3 already.

Wrong. You hold you first mouse. After that, press right mouse. Then move your third mouse forward. Aim at the head. Chop it off. If your enemy is a human.

I even tried to go down the canalisation(canal), and at the bottom I dropped the body. He still died. And that is a bug.

I'm now killing masons. But playing expert was better. I'll replay I suppose. And I really should get myself a piece of paper - I just need a proper map!
