* About *
===========================================================================

I created a new vanilla episode/hub for Hexen that contains 6 maps. It's short and rather simple. There are no new graphics (except for the TITLEPIC), sounds, or music. This might seem lazy, but I wanted to stay as close to the original vanilla experience as possible.

===========================================================================
* Maps *
===========================================================================

Map01 - The Crossroads
Map02 - Magma
Mao03 - Frostbites
Map04 - Dahmer's Lovely Cellar
Map05 - Sanctum
Map06 - Arena

===========================================================================
* Engines, ports and everything *

Vanilla + Chocolate Hexen - I wanted my PWAD to be playable in Vanilla and Chocolate Hexen, but this seems to be more of a utopia. Vanilla becomes very slow in MAP02, and Chocolate sometimes crashes without any error message. Occasionally, there are too many monsters, which causes some sprites to disappear (like during the huge Wendigo fight in MAP03). Additionally, scripts sometimes fail to execute for reasons unknown.

Russian Hexen - Unfortunately, this port has a strange bug with player starts. Sometimes the player spawns in a random place on the map, which can be inside a wall, causing the player to get stuck. I'm not sure why this is happening. Perhaps it's a known bug that will be fixed in a future version, but I have no idea.

Crispy Hexen - This port works fine, aside from a minor texture disappearing effect on polyobjects, especially in MAP04. But hey, it's finally a vanilla-like port that works.

GZDoom - Well, it's GZDoom... it simply works. Yay!

I kept the original Hexen music. Only swapped the order.
