Great project, wish you all the best

Thanks. Does anyone happen to know anyone at Raven I can talk too? I would like to get there blessing and make sure everything is on the up and up

This is offtopic, but the fb groups confuse me. Even the former seems to be filled with just Heretic 2 stuff.

Is there any "general Raven Software" group dedicated to their career as a whole?

So if you want to try and test your new textures in game, you can install Heretic 2 1.6, and then sync https://github.com/j...hall23/Heretic2 into that folder. Then you will need to open base/maps/decompiler.exe, and decompile all of the bsp to .map files. Then go to the tools folder and modify compile_ssdocks.bat so the paths align to were you have Heretic 2 installed. Then run compile_ssdocks.bat, when that completes you can run Heretic2.exe or run run_ssdocks.bat

This is looking really good. I use to make maps for Heretic II in the past and "host the Heretic II archives - Game files".

. I would love to try out the Q3Map2 BSP compiler and the "modified q3map2 and q3radiant to load and create maps with the new renderer" if possible icecoldduke.

I hope icecoldduke didn't quit on this project "Heretic2Portals" Mod. I really would love to see Heretic II "hi-res graphics textures Mod" like there is for Quake, Doom, and Hexen that loads up HD graphics textures in a "pk3" format and also allow you to create new maps.

Last I heard he was having success at making a new renderer for Doom 3. He has a few unfinished projects. I don't know for sure if he will ever come back to them or not.
