1 BIIIIIJ ================================================================ WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Title : " Wyvern Heights " Filename : Hwyvern.zip Author : David J. Reid Email Address : gothicmidi@aol.com Misc. Author Info : Independent recording engineer / synthesist by day... Raving Heretic / Doom author by night... Description : "Wyvern Heights" This well designed level has quite a few areas to discover, it takes me (the author) about 18 minutes to complete the entire level with 100% kills and all secrets found in skill 4 mode. Please note that you must be alert in locatating certain switches and doors that might not look like the ones you're used to - this is by design for reasons of creativity. Different, but well done. The texture alignment is outstanding (nice wall switches) and to top it off, there are a ton of new graphics contained in this file... Don't be surprised if you discover some familiar bitmaps along the way...There are some textures in this file from "Rise of the Triad" by Apogee Software, as well as Doom 1 and 2 from id Software. I thought it would be wonderful to see all my favorite textures in one level...well, here it is and I'm sure you'll agree that they all look great together. I would recommend at least a 486DX2/66 with 8 Megs of RAM to enjoy the level fully. This is the system I used to write Wyvern Heights - it runs great on my computer, no slowing down (thanks again RMB!). I wish every author would use it... Oh, one more thing...Please, no codes! There is ample ammo and if you're semi-experienced at Heretic then it will be a good WAD for you to practice your combat stategies...just don't cheat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To play this file with your registered Heretic, simply unzip the Hwyvern.zip into your Heretic directory, then go to that DIR. and type the letters (in small case print): C:HERETIC>hwh Then hit Enter and you're off to Wyvern Heights in Skill 4. If that's too hard for you then you can simply manually type the line below and select your own difficulty setting. C:HERETIC>heretic -file hwh.wad Please read on for more details... ____________________________________________ Additional Credits to : Raven Software - Classic status - great job! id Software - The masters of modem madness...
