The other cheats bring up accordingly nasty remarks, and don't do anything. Does anyone know if heretic "has" built in cheats? The cheats (for those who don't know yet): rambo = idfa, all weapons skel = all keys quicken = iddqd, god mode (not in hardest level) ravmap = iddt, all map gimme = idbehold (follow the prompts, item 'd' doesn't work) = Artifacts (a-j) (1-9) cockadoodledoo = Turns yourself into a chicken. kitty = No clipping engage = Level Warp (engageEM)* pounce = Health shazam = Power up mode massacre = Kills ALL monsters on level -ravpic at start up and use F1 for screen shots. *E = Episode Number M = Mission Number ======================= COMMAND LINE PERIMETERS ======================= NETWORK PLAY ------------ When you want to run a network game, you use IPXSETUP.EXE which is the device driver for Heretic's network mode. The parameters are as follows: -NODES starts Heretic as a network game and sets the number of players who are going to play. If you don't specify the number of nodes, the default is 2. -nodes <# of players> -PORT sets the port from which to play Heretic multi player on the network. By setting a different port, more than one group of players can play Heretic on a single network. -port <# of the port> MODEM PLAY ---------- When you want to play a modem or null-modem game, you need to run SERSETUP.EXE which is the device driver for Heretic's serial communications mode. The parameters are as follows: -DIAL tells the program which number to dial, if you're going to do the calling. -dial -ANSWER puts your modem into Answer mode so someone can call you and play Heretic. -answer -COM1, -COM2, -COM3, -COM4 specifies which COM port your modem or serial cable is connected to. Very important! -com1 -8250 tells SERSETUP to set the UART to 8250. Just in case your 16550 UART is acting up at the higher speed. -8250 -IRQ sets the IRQ for the COM port. -irq -PORT sets the COM I/O port that SERSETUP uses to communicate with your modem. To use hexadecimal, such as the number 0x3f8, you would type "-port 0x3f8". -port -<#> sets the baud rate of your COM port, overriding the value in the MODEM.CFG if you're running a modem game. Legal values are 9600, 14400, 38400, 57600. Example: -14400 Note that to run a null-modem game, you must have a null-modem cable plugged into a serial port on both computers and each computer runs SERSETUP.EXE with a -COM# parameter as well as any General Parameters. Do not use the -ANSWER or -DIAL parameters, or SERSETUP will think you're using a modem. To get a null-modem cable, go to Dick Smith's or Tandy (or use the diagram at the end of this document to make one) and say,"I need a null-modem cable to run a Heretic multi player game." VERY IMPORTANT! You will need to run the SETUP program and select Choose Modem from the Network/Modem/Serial menu so you can set your modem init string correctly. Merely select the modem and press Enter and SETUP will create a new MODEM.CFG file that corresponds to your modem (the MODEM.CFG file is used by SERSETUP for initing the modem.) If your modem is not in the list, you will most likely need to edit the MODEM.CFG file in the Heretic directory. The first line of the file is an initialization string that: * Turns off error-correction * Turns off data-compression The MODEM.CFG file has a Hayes-standard init string like this: AT Z S=46 &Q0 &D0 You just add your own commands after the "AT Z " if your modem doesn't work with these settings -- dig up your modem manual for the correct settings. The second line is a hangup string used when you quit Heretic. The third line is the baud rate at which you want your COM port set. The legal settings are: 9600, 14400, 38400, 57600. If the modem connection isn't working when you call your friend, have him call you instead. Try setting the modem to GENERIC (in the SETUP.EXE program) if your modems don't connect. If you STILL can't get the modems to connect, both of you should run your favorite COMM programs and connect with 9600, no error correction and no data compression. Then quit the COMM program and keep the connection going. Then just run SERSETUP with a -COM# parameter (as if you were running a null-modem game) since you're already connected. If you had trouble connecting, but figured out some settings that work, please fax them to us at (214) 686-9288 so we can expand our modem init string database and perhaps have the SETUP program ask you for your modem type in a future version of Heretic. GENERAL PARAMETERS ------------------ These parameters can be passed straight to Heretic, or passed to IPXSETUP or SERSETUP, which then pass them to Heretic. -LOADGAME allows you to start Heretic from a specified save game. Instead of using the saved game name, simply enter the number that corresponds to the slot you saved the game to on the SAVE GAME screen (0-5). -loadgame <# of the game> -DEATHMATCH starts Heretic as a DeathMatch game. If you don't enter DEATHMATCH as a command line parameter, Heretic will default to the Cooperative mode. All items picked up will appear 30 seconds later and the Shadow sphere and Invulnerability Ring will not come back. -deathmatch -SKILL sets the skill level (1-5) you wish to play. Only useful with -warp -- see below. -skill <# of skill level> -EPISODE sets the episode (1-3) you wish to play. The default episode is Episode One, City of the Damned. -episode <# of the episode> -CONFIG allows you to use your configuration file from any directory you choose. This is primarily for diskless work stations that don't have a C: drive to save config information to. You need to rename the heretic.cfg file created by the SETUP program to a directory and name of your choosing to avoid conflicts. -config ex. -config f:\heretic\data\myconfig.cfg -NOMONSTERS allows you to start playing with NO MONSTERS running around! This is great for DeathMatch where, really, the monsters just get in the way. Only useful with -warp -- see below. -nomonsters -RECORD tells Heretic to record the game you are starting. Demo files will be saved as .lmp. -record -RESPAWN tells Heretic that, yes, you are a bad ass, and yes, you want all the monsters to respawn around 8 seconds after you kill them. The NIGHTMARE skill level already does this. Note that using -respawn and -nomonsters at the same time is a dumb thing to do. Only useful with -warp -- see below. -respawn @ will allow you to specify a Response file that Heretic will read additional command-line parameters from. For example, typing 'Heretic @MYPARMS' will tell Heretic to look in the MYPARMS file for additional command-line parameters. The file format is simply one parameter per line with a carriage return to terminate the line. Each parameter is typed exactly as you would type it on the DOS command-line. -TIMER <# of minutes> will make Heretic exit the current level after a specified amount of minutes, going to the intermission screen. This option is only useful in DeathMatch mode. -timer xxx An example line for entering the above information would be: Heretic -loadgame 3 -deathmatch -skill 4 -timer 10 IMPORTANT: Only the following command-line parameters are available while using the -WARP parameter: -skill, -respawn. HOW TO MAKE A NULL-MODEM ======================== 9-Pin to 9-Pin 9-Pin to 25-Pin 25-Pin to 25-Pin 2<---------->3 2<----------->2 2<------------>3 3<---------->2 3<----------->3 3<------------>2 5<---------->5 5<----------->7 7<------------>7 *Null-modem cables made from these diagrams should work only the 9-Pin to 9-Pin cable has been tested. NOTE:- ====== The BETA version of Heretic will give you a corrupted WAD file message after a while so set the date to 20th Dec 1994 and it should run but the full shareware version is now available so use that instead.
