This mod is almost worth it just for that :)

Yeah, they all do that :)

Happy Birthday! ( From someone fast approaching that gravemilestone :) )

Thanks very much, yes, it worked! This is what I did, in case it helps anyone else: sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-7.0 libfluidsynth-dev libopenal-dev cd ~/Games/Engines git clone "https://github.com/Helion-Engine/Helion.git" cd Helion Scripts/build.sh Client/bin/Release/net7.0/Helion -iwad /usr/share/doom/doom.wad This was on Mint, but its guts are pretty much stock Ubuntu. I'll give it a proper run out on some big maps later in the week. Cheers :D

Thanks. I looked into installing PS for Linux, but there are so many different versions. I note your scripts have a '.ps1' extension; is there any specific version of PS I should install? As to the compilation itself, I get: martin@luna:~/Games/Engines/Helion/helion$ dotnet build Helion.sln MSBuild version 17.4.8+6918b863a for .NET Determining projects to restore...

For that matter, what Linux environment do you build on? I'm amazed at 'sh' not being found LOL - it's right there in /usr/bin!

Does anyone know how to build this on Linux? I cloned the repo and all there is, apart from the source directories, is a .sln file for MS toolchains and no instructions how to compile it in an OS where VS does not exist :( I have no experience creating .NET software in Linux and last wrote anything in C# years ago with .net 2. Am I missing a built script or something? I have installed .NET 7 but cannot find on Google a definitive guide to building multi-project .NET programs on Linux. In short, please can somebody give me step-by-step instructions for doing this that have resulted in a working program?

Sure, nice to see people doing practical electronics. Now what is it? :)

Not listening to, but listened to a couple days ago, hope they release a live album from it. Hawkwind at the Royal Albert Hall. A 54 year old band fronted by an 82 year old pensioner :) They did many of the classics and were ably supported by Arthur 'The God of Hellfire' Brown, who read two of their most loved poems on stage - 'Space' and '10 Seconds of Forever'. Hawkwind on stage Dave Brock - Captain of Spaceship Hawkwind Guest Star Arthur Brown - The God of Hellfire Arthur's band - the support act

This is an awesome idea :) Will definitely play it when it's done!

Great work. A shotgun commando would fit very well in the mod I'm making :)

Bought it in 96 when it first appeared and gave up after a few levels once I realised it was a puzzle challenge pretending to be an FPS. Such a shame. The monsters are cool, except Centaurs who can die in agony in the deepest pits of Hell, and the ambience is awesome. But the puzzles spoil it. Also a bad decision was the constant spawning of monsters if you kill a lot of em; when I kill a monster I expect it to stay dead and not be replaced. I'd love to see a mod that is HeXen reimagined as a true FPS with no puzzles beyond standard Doom/Heretic level mechanics, but that'd be an awful lot of work and could run into copyright issues :(

I love E1 styled maps! Will play this when I get a chance :)

They can't; all monsters that can be morphed have to inherit MorphedMonster. I never did find out the reason for this decision originally, but it seemed clear in 2008 that it was never going to be changed and we're stuck with it now. I guess with ZScript some fancy workarounds might be possible one day.

https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/combos/badguys The Duke of Hell is Mark Klem's (CRINGE!.WAD) "Baron in Shades and torn Jeans" who has studied Sorcery and fires rockets from his paws; I thought that Baron was too cool not to use :) Of course The Bad Guys is nearly 19 years old and very old Skool DeHackEd, but it should still work. TBF, the Hell Nobles are just different strengths and recolours; only the Duke behaves differently.
