# Heretic Randomizer Setup
|
|
|
|
## Required Software
|
|
|
|
- [Heretic (e.g. Steam version)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2390/Heretic_Shadow_of_the_Serpent_Riders/)
|
|
- [Archipelago Crispy DOOM](https://github.com/Daivuk/apdoom/releases) (Same download for DOOM 1993, DOOM II and Heretic)
|
|
|
|
## Optional Software
|
|
|
|
- [ArchipelagoTextClient](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases)
|
|
|
|
## Installing APDoom
|
|
1. Download [APDOOM.zip](https://github.com/Daivuk/apdoom/releases) and extract it.
|
|
2. Copy HERETIC.WAD from your steam install into the extracted folder.
|
|
You can find the folder in steam by finding the game in your library,
|
|
right clicking it and choosing *Manage→Browse Local Files*. The WAD file is in the `/base/` folder.
|
|
|
|
## Joining a MultiWorld Game (via Launcher)
|
|
|
|
1. Launch apdoom-launcher.exe
|
|
2. Choose Heretic in the dropdown
|
|
3. Enter the Archipelago server address, slot name, and password (if you have one)
|
|
4. Press "Launch Game"
|
|
5. Enjoy!
|
|
|
|
To continue a game, follow the same connection steps.
|
|
Connecting with a different seed won't erase your progress in other seeds.
|
|
|
|
## Joining a MultiWorld Game (via command line)
|
|
|
|
1. In your command line, navigate to the directory where APDOOM is installed.
|
|
2. Run `crispy-apheretic -apserver <server> -applayer <slot name>`, where:
|
|
- `<server>` is the Archipelago server address, e.g. "`archipelago.gg:38281`"
|
|
- `<slot name>` is your slot name; if it contains spaces, surround it with double quotes
|
|
- If the server has a password, add `-password`, followed by the server password
|
|
3. Enjoy!
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can override some randomization settings from the command line:
|
|
- `-apmonsterrando 0` will disable monster rando.
|
|
- `-apitemrando 0` will disable item rando.
|
|
- `-apmusicrando 0` will disable music rando.
|
|
- `-apresetlevelondeath 0` will disable resetting the level on death.
|
|
- `-apdeathlinkoff` will force DeathLink off if it's enabled.
|
|
- `-skill <1-5>` changes the game difficulty, from 1 (thou needeth a wet-nurse) to 5 (black plague possesses thee)
|
|
|
|
## Archipelago Text Client
|
|
|
|
We recommend having Archipelago's Text Client open on the side to keep track of what items you receive and send.
|
|
APDOOM has in-game messages,
|
|
but they disappear quickly and there's no reasonable way to check your message history in-game.
|
|
|
|
### Hinting
|
|
|
|
To hint from in-game, use the chat (Default key: 'T'). Hinting from Heretic can be difficult because names are rather long and contain special characters. For example:
|
|
```
|
|
!hint The River of Fire (E2M3) - Green key
|
|
```
|
|
The game has a hint helper implemented, where you can simply type this:
|
|
```
|
|
!hint e2m3 green
|
|
```
|
|
For this to work, include the map short name (`E1M1`), followed by one of the keywords: `map`, `blue`, `yellow`, `green`.
|
|
|
|
## Auto-Tracking
|
|
|
|
APDOOM has a functional map tracker integrated into the level select screen.
|
|
It tells you which levels you have unlocked, which keys you have for each level, which levels have been completed,
|
|
and how many of the checks you have completed in each level.
