=========================================================================== Title : MYSTIC KEEP FOR HERETIC v2.0 Great for intense single player, or co-op play, deathmatch too. Date Finished : August 7, 2001 for v1.0 September 13, 2001 for v2.0 Author : Pritesh Mistry [ICE] Email Address : pmistry_@go.com Web Sites : ICE's Heretic Maps http://www.raven-games.com/hosted/ice ICE CAVE http://icecave.batcave.net Contents : Mystkeep.wad - The game level. Mystkeep.txt - You are reading this file right now. Mystkeep.bat - A batch file you can modify to load the game. Its default setting is using JHeretic but can be changed to work with [DOS] Heretic or Wheretic. Default is JHERETIC with Direct3D, also it assumes the wad is in the same directory as the Heretic.wad and . exe files. Description : This is my second attempt at a map. I released a crappy set of 9-levels last year. Level Info : No story here. This map is based around a temple/church theme. Known Bugs : Save game buffer error, use Jheretic or Wheretic to avoid it. I do have some misaligned textures, ignore them. Bug Fixes in v2.0 : I fixed up some bugs that got reported in, there are now 2 ways to exit the level. After defeating D'Sparil, the exit will come down, if you go through the red teleporter you will exit the level normally. If you go through the blue one, you will exit to the secret level. I did this so people who play this map as a single level would get to see statistics. The other normal exit is for people who play co-op so they can finish the episode. The map had to be E3M8 because it is the only map that allows D'Sparil to be tagged to a sector. This makes sure you kill D'Sparil before getting access to the exit. Fixed the "Too many mace spots" error in co-op play System Requirements : Registered Heretic v1.3 You should have this already, if not get it from http://www.idsoftware.com. A utility like WinZip, Winrar, Winace, or Pkunzip to unpack the contents. I recommend that you use JHERETIC or WHERETIC. Both ports eliminate save game buffer errors. Plus both ports can make use of mouse look which is what this level is made for. Modern day gaming! Recommendations : USE JHERETIC!
