can Heretic work on the spv?

[Guest hecatae]

can i just replace the doom.wad in doomspv or is more work needed?

[Guest midnight]

if it works on the pc i cant see why it shouldnt work on the spv

[Guest hecatae]

curious to see if i can just rename it. Posted from my SmartPhone!

[Guest muff]

although the Heretic engine is based on the Doom engine, there were extensions to the code that were specific to Heretic

I suspect that the released Doom code was just that - the Doom code, not the Heretic code - although there are combined engines now, so it should be doable, just maybe not with the current Doom exe that MBoden released

I might be wrong, and only trying will prove one way or the other I suppose

[Guest hecatae]

ok, think I'll go ask MBoden.

Any news on Heretic working on any Doom port?

[Guest axe]

That won't work. Quite some things were changed like the maximum number of items (monsters and other stuff) in view and how it would drop items from view if there were too many.... lots of code changes anyway. And afaik the doom port we have was only slightly compatible with other WAD files, so even extra levels are a matter of testing before you can be sure.

try spvdoom_legacy

Thanks for the reply Roozbeh,

I'll try it on my c500, from what I've just read of that thread it does not work on an e200?
