Contents		: Resurect.wad - The game data.
			  Resurect.txt - You are reading this file right now.
			  Resurect.exe - This is the modified Heretic.exe file,
		                         if you use this, the level names will change
				         on the map and mission screens.
			  Resurect.hhe - Heretic Hack Editor patch file.
			  Play.bat     - A batch file you can modify to load the game.
					 Its default setting is using resurect.exe but can
					 be changed to work with Heretic, Jheretic and Wheretic.

Description             : This is my first attempt at a WAD project, so it
                          may be a bit rusty. This is an episode pack of 9 levels and it
                          takes place after the Dome of D'Sparil Episode.

Story			: In the original Heretic game, after you defeated D'Sparil
			  you were banished to his homeworld...however, in my version
			  Korax and Eidolin work together to resurrect D'Sparil
			  and now you must defeat D'Sparil once more, before being banished.

* Construction *

Base                    : New levels from scratch
Build Time              : June 2000 - July 2000
Tools used              : Heretic Hack Editor v1.1, WinTex 4.2, DCK v3.62,
                          ZenNode v0.98a, Wad Author v1.3, Corel Photo-Paint v8.0

Known Bugs              : Some levels can crash maybe....use Wheretic if it happens.

			  E3M6 - the sky will clip around if you have a slower computer,
			  on a Pentium MMX-166 it clips and it can be annoying but won't up
			  lock up the game. If you have a fast PC, like a Pentium 2 or better
			  you should be ok. This clipping error only occurs under the original
			  Heretic engine.
			 
			  Pressing F1 to access the help screen will look messed up.
			 
 			  Sometimes when you load a saved game the graphics can get messed
			  up, I don't know why this happens. If you restart the level, it will
			  be ok, to get what you lost just use some cheat codes. 
			
			  The WAD works fine with Wheretic, but won't work on my system with
			  JHeretic v0.99.5, I will try the updated Jheretic version and let you know.
			  It may work on your system configuration and it WILL work if you use
			  WinTex or Deusf to merge the resurect.wad into heretic.wad. 

Recommendations		: I recommend trying with Wheretic. I also recommend that you backup your Heretic.wad
			  file and use WinTex to merge Resurect.wad into Heretic.wad, this way you eliminate
			  a lot of stupid bugs.
