Heretic Launcher
----------------
Heretic Launcher is a Windows 95+ compatible front-end for the game "Heretic."
It allows you to easily play add-on maps, warp to specific levels, play and
record demos, and set several other options. It will work with the original
DOS-based game as well as wHeretic. This version supports only single player
options.

FILE Menu
-------------
 - Options: Set up information required for Heretic Launcher.
   - Full path of game executable: Enter the name of the executable and
     the folder it's in here.
   - Default path to wad files: Enter the folder where Heretic Launcher will
     initially open it's 'File Open' dialog when adding wad files.
   - Configuration file: Heretic Launcher saves it's settings in its own
     configuration file (HereticLauncher.ini), but Heretic will still load
     settings from it's default config file (Heretic.cfg). You can specify a
     different Heretic config file here.
   - Memory size for demo recording: wHeretic only. Allows you to increase
     the demo buffer size from the default of 128k.

Level Warp
----------
Check this to enable the maps list and skill levels combo boxes.
The game will start on the map and at the skill level you select.

Options
-------
 - No Monsters: The game will have no monsters.
 - Respawn Monsters: Monsters will come back to life approximately eight seconds
   after you kill them.
 - No Artifact Skip: Disables SHIFT+ENTER "skipping" an artifact. Also, checking
   this can fix a problem in some versions of wHeretic where you can't use your
   inventory items at all.
 - No Joystick: Disable support for joysticks.
 - No Sound: Disable sound support.
 - No Music: Disable music support.
 - F1 = Screenshot: Pressing the F1 key will take a snapshot of the screen,
        instead of bringing up the in-game help. Screenshots will be saved
        into the same folder as the Heretic executable.

Resolution
----------
wHeretic only. Select from common screen resolutions here.
 - Custom: Check this box if you want to enter a custom screen resolution.
Note that not all video cards/monitors will be able to work with all
resolutions listed here.

Use Wad Files
-------------
Check this to load the wad files you have added to the wad file list
when Heretic is launched.
 - Wad files listbox: Double-clicking on an entry will display a text file
   with the same name as the wad file, if one exists in the same folder as the
   wad file. Example: COOLMAP.WAD would display COOLMAP.TXT if it exists.
 - Add Button: Activates a file open dialog from which you can browse/select
   wad files. You can select multiple files at once by holding down the shift
   key and clicking a range of files, or holding the control key to click
   multiple files. (Clicking the 'Use Wad Files' checkbox when the wad file
   list is empty is the same as clicking the add button.)
 - Remove Button: Removes selected items from the wad files listbox. You can
   select multiple files to remove at once by using the shift and/or control
   keys.
 - Clear List: Removes all entries from the wad files list.

Note: For the original DOS version of Heretic, you need to make sure that
all wad files are located in directories with names of eight characters or
less, and that the names of the wad files themselves are no longer than eight
characters with three character extentions. You also can't have any spaces in
the file or path names. Note: wHeretic v0.5a build 5 and lower has similar
restrictions on filenames/paths.

Example:
  D:\Heretic\Wads\Map1.wad  <-- will work
  D:\Heretic\My Map Collection\Heretic Map 1.wad <--  won't work with DOS
                                                      or early wHeretic.
Load Saved Game
---------------
If this is checked, Heretic will launch directly to the saved game slot
you select here. (slot numbers are zero-based, so saved game #1 will be
in slot 0, etc).

Enable Demos
------------
Check this to enable playing or recording demo files (*.lmp).
 - Play Demo: Heretic will launch and play the demo file specified in the
   Demo Name box.
 - Record Demo: Heretic will warp to the level specifed in the maps list
   and start the game at the skill level selected in the Skill Level
   combo box. A demo file will be recorded to the filename specified in the
   Demo Name box. The demo recording ends when you exit the game. Note that
   any path information in the Demo Name box is ignored when recording demos
   and all recorded demos will be placed in the same folder as the Heretic
   executable.
 - Record from Saved Game #: Same as Record Demo, except that Heretic starts
   and begins recording from the saved game in the slot number you specify
   (slot numbers are zero-based, so saved game #1 will be in slot 0, etc).
 - Demo Name: The filename of the demo file you want to play or record to.
   Demo files end with an 'LMP' extension (i.e DEMO.LMP), but typing the 
   extension here is optional.

Demo names are limited to 8 characters or less in all versions of Heretic.

Launch
------
Click the Launch button to start Heretic with your selected options.
