SPLITHOG.EXE: Splits a registered Descent .HOG file into its components.
MAKEHOG.EXE: Reads mission (.MSN) file levels and creates a HOG file
from them.
Example: Suppose you really like levels 1,3,5 and 6 of registered Descent
and you would like to play those levels as a separate game.
First, run SPLITHOG against DESCENT.HOG to break out the level
files (.RDL files):
SPLITHOG DESCENT.HOG <enter>
Next, create a mission file that looks like the following (mission
files are ASCII text files):
name = Test Mission ;any name you want - this shows up in the game list
type = normal ;can be "normal" or "anarchy". Omitted means normal
num_levels = 4 ;number of normal levels
level01.rdl ;level filename 1
level03.rdl ;level filename 2
level05.rdl ;level filename 3
level06.rdl ;level filename 4
Now run MAKEHOG and pass the name of the mission file, as in
MAKEHOG TEST.MSN <enter>
This will create TEST.HOG, and when you start Descent, TEST will
appear in the single-player and multiplayer game lists.
If the type is set to "anarchy," the mission will only appear in the
multiplayer game selection list. Otherwise, it will appear in the
multiplayer list and the single-player new game list.
Source code is provided "as is" with no warranty. If you need special mods
for some reason, send me an E-Mail and we'll talk about what you want.
