I am deeply indebted to Jim F. Flynn for his definitive list of "DOOM 1 and 2 LineDef Types" by number and function and have employed (read stolen) his description conventions, since they seem to me to be the most clear and reasonable. I believe that these descriptions are similar enough to those used by Matt Fell in his excellent series of "Unofficial DOOM Specs" as well, so there shouldn't be too much confusion. I didn't go into as much detail as Jim or Matt did in their documents, so I highly recommend that one read those files in order to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the uses of LineDef Tags and Sector Specials. I'm much better at organizing than investigating, so I've more or less culled this list from others that I have seen here and there on the Internet (particularly the ones I've already mentioned herein). I did test all of these descriptions, but a few of the LineDef tags are a bit baffling and seem to have multiple functions, depending on the circumstances. I assume all responsibility for any errors herein, unless you plan on sueing me for some reason -- in which case, any errors you find must surely be your own. Minor Critique I would be most interested in seeing the damage specs, if anyone has bothered to investigate this. Herein lies my only criticism of HERETIC it is exceedingly difficult to determine which weapon is the all-around best, since there doesn't seem to be a significant incremental increase in fire-power (aside from the Phoenix Rod, which is similar to DOOM's Rocket Launcher) among the various weapons. Except for the Phoenix Rod and the Mace, all of the weapons discharge energy rather than projectiles. It seems to me, for instance, that the Ethereal Crossbow is the all-around best weapon -- much as the Shotgun is in DOOM -- as it actually seems to do more damage to lesser creatures such as Gargoyles, Golems, and Warrior Knights than does, say, the Hellstaff or Mace. (The Dragon Claw is more powerful, I admit, but I find the noise it makes annoying<g>). Augmented with the Tome of Power, I find the best all-around weapon to be the Hellstaff, since it not only has a powerful energy burst, but rains fire as well (neato). The Phoenix Rod is next to useless <IMHO> when augmented by the Tome of Power (at least in Deathmatch: I mean, who's going to stand still long enough for you to toast them with a flame-thrower, eh?); other than that, it's a much-desired weapon. I'd welcome some feedback on this subject at my preferred e-mail address: 76132.3415@compuserve.com Revisions Well, none yet; but I do intend to update this document as often as more information comes to light. Please send me e-mail with any corrections, additions, suggestions, etc. I would be most grateful. Distribution and Permission You MAY distribute this document anywhere and everywhere you like, as long as you DO NOT change a single word of it. You MAY, of course, incorporate any of the data herein along whatever lines or conventions you like in your own documentation. You are not required to mention me, because I didn't invent this stuff: I'm only documenting it. But if you want to give me any credit, please do so by all means. I love seeing the good name of Dr Sleep bandied about (charitably, of course). -------------------------------------- <1> From the HERETIC SPECS (filename here.spec, author unknown). I have cribbed quite shamelessly from these specs for THINGS, WIND and SECTOR SCROLL specials. If anyone knows who the author is, let me know so that I may properly thank him and give him the appropriate credit.
