I'm sure you've all tried iddqd under heretic: it kills you! 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 <phone number>

-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 <irq number>

-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 <port number>

-<#> 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 [phone] 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 <path name>  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 <filename>.lmp.
-record <filename>

-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

@<filename> 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.

Any further BUGS or Cheats etc that you may find please send them to us
at our BBS listed below.
