Description             : Play HacX in high resolution with the
                         following Source Ports: ZDoom, MBF, SMMU.
                         (glLegacy, Legacy, Boom and PRboom can be
                         used but requires a minor modification
                         - see notes below).

                         HacX is a Total Conversion for Doom II
                         created by Banjo Software. Check out the
                         Shareware Version either at Banjo's Home Page
                         (http://www.banjosoft.com) or from Walnut
                         Creek and it's mirrors world-wide:
                         (/pub/idgames/levels/hacx/hacxsw10.zip).

                         This wad works with the Shareware version
                         of HacX but WILL NOT allow you to use the
                         User Levels created for the Registered
                         Version (as requested by Banjo Software).

* Play Information *

Episode and Level #     : Uses HacX
Single Player           : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player  : Yes
Deathmatch 2-4 Player   : Yes
Difficulty Settings     : Uses HacX
New Sounds              : Uses HacX
New Graphics            : Uses HacX
New Music               : Uses HacX
Demos Replaced          : Uses HacX (the demos are disabled in ZDoom,
                         but work fine with MBF and SMMU).


Installation            : Make sure Doom II, HacX and one of the Source
                         Ports (ZDoom, MBF or SMMU) are all in the
                         same directory.

                         To play HacX Shareware in single-player mode
                         with high resolution graphics, just run the
                         Port with the following command line:

                           zdoom -file hacxsw hacxport
                           mbf -file hacxsw hacxport
                           smmu -file hacxsw hacxport

                         Operation with the Registered Version of HacX
                         should be exactly the same except the HacX
                         pwad will have a different name (probably
                         just hacx.wad).

                         To play a multiplayer cooperative game you
                         should probably use one of the many Game
                         Launchers designed to work with the Ports.


Compatability           : HACXPORT.WAD tested okay with:
                           ZDoom v1.18b   MBF v2.03   SMMU v3.10

                         HACXPORT.WAD will work with the following
                         Source Ports after a minor modification
                         (see notes below):
                           Legacy v1.28   glLegacy v1.29b12
                           Boom v2.02     PRboom v2.02

                         HACXPORT.WAD will not work with the following
                         Source Ports:
                           ZDoomGL v0.1       DoomGL v1.0b    glDoom v0.94e
                           DosDoom v0.653b    MidDoom v0.03   PDoom v0.1
                           Doom4Windows v1.0  DoomATB v1.10   DoomPlus v0.6
                           IASdoom            WDMP v0.9       Win32Doom
                           WinDoom v0.96a


Notes                   : I have added replacement menus for Legacy in
                         the hope that the next version will support
                         embedded DeHackEd patches.

                         If you really HAVE to use Legacy, glLegacy,
                         Boom or PRboom (not recommended) then you
                         will have to use a utility like NWT, DeuTex
                         or WinTex to extract the dehacked lump out of
                         hacxport.wad, rename it hacxport.deh, and run
                         the game as follows:
                           legacy -deh hacxport.deh -file hacxsw.wad hacxport.wad
                           gllegacy -opengl -deh hacxport.deh -file hacxsw.wad hacxport.wad
                           boom -deh hacxport -file hacxsw hacxport
                           prboom -deh hacxport -file hacxsw hacxport -width 640 -height 400


* Construction *

Base                    : HacX exe, HacX alphabet graphics were used to
                         create the new menu options for the Ports.
Editor(s) used          : DeHackEd, Paint Shop Pro, NWT, WinTex
Known Bugs              : There may be some 'cause I had to change an
                         awful lot, but the only one's I've found are
                         related to the Source Ports such as:
                           Legacy - some opaque items are transparent
                                  - the Menu Logo is offset
                           glLegacy - some items shouldn't have
                                      coronas (eg. broken lights) and
                                      others have them in the wrong
                                      place (eg. tall lamps which used
                                      to be shorter lamps).
                           ZDoom - the demos have been disabled.

                         See the screen shot HACXPORT.JPG included
                         with this distribution. It was created with
                         glLegacy v1.29 beta 12 and shows both Legacy
                         errors mentioned above.
