Title : HERIAN (revision 5, 04/06/1998) Filename : HERIAN.WAD Author : Ian Wilson Email Address : i.w@virgin.net Description : Herian has no story it is simply a 32 level TC made primarily for the single player. The infuence for it came from my favourite games mentioned below. 32 NEW levels, NEW textures, NEW sounds & NEW monsters All levels were made for single play. Deathmatch and co-operative play is possible, but not optimized. Many of the levels are too large for deathmatch. Additional Credits and thanks to: iD-software, Raven, Rogue & 3D Realms for: Doom, Doom 2, Quake, Heretic, Hexen, Strife, ROTT and Duke Nukem 3D.

Editor(s) used : DM2CONV, Wintex, NWT, WARM, Windeu and Wad Author. Known Bugs : None. Herian was developed for Windows 95 and should played at 640 by 400 or 640 by 480 but it's even better at 800 x 600 using DosDoom it you have a powerful enough PC. A bug was reported on level 08 red door. This has been corrected. Some general improvements have been carried out at revision 3 including changes to lighting. The general them for Herian has also been changed including a new End of Game Boss Monster. Finally a visplane error was found in Map04 using the original Doom2.exe therefore it is better not to be used with Herian. Legacy Doom (Doom3.exe) and Windoom are no better in this respect and it is better not to use them either with Herian. Stick to Doom95, Boom or DosDoom. Revision 4 - introduced following a report of an anomaly in map 12 when used with Boom. Some small changes were made to a stair to work correctly with Boom. There was no problem with Doom95 or DosDoom. Revision 5 - introduced after it came to my notice (by a fellow Doom enthusiast) the map08 was too close to one of Doom2's original levels. This map has been radical changed with some features such as switches and doors repositioned and visual enhancements made.
