DeHackED Editor for Heretic (anyone considered this?)

[XDelusion]

Has anyone thought about coding a new DeHack editor for Heretic, and perhaps even Hexen. Legacy now has Heretic support, and personlly I would convert my Starwars TC over to Heretic completly if I had some decent tools to work with.

What exactly are the main differences between the DooM and Heretic engine? If they're not that big, I could add support for Heretic to WhackEd in the future.

I think the main differences are in the event triggers really, well that and the fact that some enemies have multiple forms of attack, plus you can get the ability to fly. Also in Hexen there are some objects you can kick around the floor. Other than that I think that's it.

Anyone else know more on this?

You'd have to find some Heretic specs unless you feel like reverse-engineering the exe with a hex editor of course. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/wink.gif

"Once in a while a programmer really writes something he's proud of, a slick, elegant, blazingly fast routine that stands as a benchmark against which other code will be judged by. However, this is not the case with TED's fill routine. This slow, stupid algorithm will casually fill one plane of data in a painfully creeping manner. Press ESC when it gets confused." - John Romero on TED (Tile EDitor)

You could make a Dehacked editor for Heretic, but the patches would not work on Legacy (I think, anyway). Someone would have to code support for this to Legacy first.

Tired of crappy Doom editors? So was I, that's why I'm coding my own (http://www.hut.fi/~jpakkane/why/).

There are a few DeHackEd editors for Heretic or Hexen on DoomWorld though. Although one of those files has a nasty virus...

Beats me. Maybe they should actually update that section.

Heretic also has an item inventory system that could add alot to the coolness of a TC.

:/ Hmmm, makes you really wonder why Legacy did not just begin as Heretic or Hexen Legacy in the first place, then DOOM later. I'd kill for an inventory system in my TC, I am shure it could be done with ZDOOM, but I'm too deovted to Legacy to switch. Perhaps some day 10 years down the road we'll see this.

Wouldn't it be possible using FraggleScript and HUD images somehow?

It is very well possible that the next version of WhackEd has support for Heretic, or it can at least be added by someone else. Just thought I'd say it.
