#80 Support for HACX

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

HACX is a freely available 20-level TC for Doom 2 which in its recent version 1.2 is even available as an IWAD. However, prboom-plus fails to recognize it properly and aborts with an error. The attached patch adds initial support for HACX by considering it as an additional gamemission for Doom2.

Initial support for HACX

The following chunk should be added, so HACX isn't run in final doom, but doom 2 compatibility mode.

I've checked zdoom sources. It checks "HACX-E" and "HACX-R" lumps for recognizing Hacx 2.0 and Hacx 1.2

IWad

Name = "Hacx 2.0"
Game = "Doom"
Config = "Hacx"
Mapinfo = "mapinfo/hacxharm.txt"
MustContain = "MAP01", "HACX-E"
BannerColors = "ff ff ff", "00 88 22"
}
