A New Project For DooM Legacy.

Friday August 11, 2006

Because people have been having difficulty setting up DooM Legacy to run with the original Chex^® Quest IWAD, in spite of my having put up a step by step illustrated guide on how to do it, and because I am now thuroughly fed up with having to answer emails asking how to do it, I have created a new The Ultimate Chex^® Quest resource file.

TUCQp2b3_Full_Setup.zip (10.1Mb)

This zip file contains absolutely everything required for running The Ultimate Chex^® Quest.  The file contains DooM Legacy version 1.42 for Windows, the original Chex^® Quest IWAD, renamed to allow Legacy to use it, and, of course, the current beta version of The Ultimate Chex^® Quest is in there too.  Everything has been set up!  There is no need to do anything.  Just unzip the files to a directory of your choosing, then run Legacy by using one of the two included batch files, one for software mode, and one for openGL mode, or use the DooM Legacy launcher, which has already been preconfigured.

There is now absolutely no excuse for anyone to be unable to get this working, since I have already done all the work for you.  Anyone who bothers me with questions on how to set Legacy up from now on will be summarily drawn and quartered.

Okay people!  After a ridiculously long wait (Sorry about that), The Ultimate Chex^® Quest Phase II beta 3 is finally available!

It is in the Downloads section.

Go and get it boys!

phase2beta3.zip (4.76Mb)

This latest version of T.U.C.Q. has new difficulty levels added, so watch out!  The same flemoids appear in the same places on every skill level, but they actually get tougher as the skill level increases.  Health and ammunition also becomes harder to find as the skill level increases, so be careful not to waste a single zorch!

(The original Chex^® Quest and Chex^® Quest 2 did not have difficulty levels implemented.  Skills 2 3 and 4 are identical.  Skills 1 and 5 were only different because of elements hard coded in to the game engine.)
