- │ HFDE/h : Hack of A Famous Doom Editor - HERETIC edition │
- └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- P U B L I C B E T A
- version 1.00.06

-
- What is HFDE/h?
- ───────────────
-
- HFDE/h is a full featured PWAD editor for id Software's HERETIC based
- on DEU 5.1-5.2 by Ralphael Quinet and Brendon J. Wyber. Basicly I took
- DEU 5.2, and hacked it; giving it a brand new interface, some new
- features, and of course support of heretic.
-
- Since DEU is the most powerfull editor available, I picked it to work
- with. Originally HFDE (the DOOM registered version) was designed for
- my own use, hence the interface is how I like it.
-
-
-
- Why a Public Beta?
- ──────────────────
-
- Two reasons. First, you the public needed a GOOD Heretic editor, and
- this one is the best. Second, it's the best way to test something this
- huge. But WARNING: It's still a beta. This means there are sure to
- be bugs, mistakes, spelling errors, etc.
-
- It also means that some stuff isn't in yet (the full revision tracking
- stuff comes to mind) so it might be a good idea to backup frequently.
-
-
- Using HFDEh
- ───────────
-
- For the most part, it's just like DEU (in fact, if you press ENTER with
- an object selected, you go to the DEU menu structure). Several new
- features are:
-
- REVISION TRACKING: When turned on in the .INI file, HFDEH will
- automatcily keep backup copies of your PWAD. This makes recovery from
- mistakes very simple.
-
- STAIRS FROM SECTORS COMMAND: You can quickly create stairs just by
- drawing some sectors, and then chaining the together. Remember, when
- selecting the sectors, start at the top of the stairs and work DOWN.
-
- NEW INTERFACE: Press F1 to see how it works. I think you will like
- the changes.
-
- AUTO SPLIT SECTOR: When you create a linedef that splits a sector,
- HFDEH will automaticly split that sector.
-
- BETTER SUPPORT FOR SECTORS INSIDE A SECTOR: With the previous versions
- of the editor engine (HFDE, HFDE2) it had problems when working with
- sectors inside a sector. I think I got them all fixed.
-
-
- Reporting Bugs!
- ───────────────
-
- If you happen to find a bug, please send a little EMAIL message to
- Josephw@ramp.com. In the subject field, please put HFDE error so it
- will automaticly get tossed.

- Enjoy...
