INSTALLATION NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------

Patch installation is easy and safe.

+ Unzip RHERESY.ZIP in a new empty folder.
+ Then copy your Doom II and Heretic: SOTSR iwads there.
+ Launch HERPATCH.BAT. The pwad file RHERESY.WAD will be created.
+ You'll just need RHERESY.WAD, and of course your original DOOM2.WAD,
to play.

This patch has been tested under Win 9x, 2k, XP and 7 32 bit.

IMPORTANT: Only the 32 bit versions of Vista and 7 can run the patch.

For linux and other unsupported OSes users sorry but you'll need to use
a virtual machine to apply the patch (VMware, VirtualBox or Virtual PC).
For DOS you'd need CSDPMI and SMARTDRV but it would be very slow.

You can download the official Heretic upgrade to version 1.3 from
www.raven-games.com

--------------------------------------------------------
PLAY NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------

The mod is fully compatible with ZDoom 2.0.63a, GZDoom 0.9.28, Skulltag 0.96f,
Zandronum, ZDoomGL 0.81, Vavoom 1.32, EDGE 1.29, 3DGE and later versions.
For GZDoom you'll need lights.pk3 or lights.wad. There's an included weapons
mod for EDGE but no splashes.
Heresy is compatible with Brutal Doom, Project Brutality and Fearrific too!
You'll need to load rheresy.wad first and then all your stuff. Lost souls get
stuck sometimes with these mods however.
Risen3D 2.2, Odamex and ZDaemon run with limitations.
Everything else either might be unplayable or won't run at all.

To reach some areas or to escape from others sometimes you'll need to 'use'
walls to activate a teleporter or a lift since you can't fly in Doom.
Sometimes you'll need to jump to reach some platforms but this is rare.

This is a tribute to John Romero, producer of Heretic, hence the name.
We'd like to thank the authors of all the editing tools and all the addon
levels for keeping the game alive so long.
Thanks also to Raven and id software for such two great games.
To John Romero for being so cool and Knee Deep in the Dead.
Special thanks go to Vincenzo Alcamo for Dm2conv, without it Heresy
would have not been possible. The same to Jim Flynn for Patcher.
To Björn Ostmann aka Vader for his great title graphic.
To O.Montanny and A.Majorel for Deutex.
To Graham Jackson for Risen3D.
To Enjay for supporting Heresy.
To Xaser for helping with decorate and his 'helping hand' graphic.
To Team TNT for the cool TNT music and TNT sky.
To Ty Halderman (RIP) for maintaining the Doom archive at ftp.cdrom.com.
Finally thanks to you for downloading and playing the mod.
