Talk:Hacx

Did it really use the source code? I thought it was just dehacked work... Draconio 00:18, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Probably did. I imagine some skilled DeHackEr converted all the changes to the source to a DeHackEd patch when it was released for free. Bloodshedder 00:51, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

AS I recall it, it used dehacked. I even recall opening the Hacx exe in dehacked and that wouldn't be possible if it was hardcoded. What they did was probably what I did with my Exe for the TC I made between 1994-1997. I made all the work in dehacked and then made a few changes in a hex editor to change some things I couldn't do in dehacked (the quit game messages). Either way, the page states that it could use the source because it was released, but the source was released after Hacx was.

Hacx 1.2 isn't really 'Vanilla compatible' though, due to a Doom Builder 3D start on Map06. On that subject, perhaps mention should be given to the small slip up in the Decorate included in the wad that means the Stealth doesn't spawn on the ceiling in ports that use the Decorate to build the things? --Vermil (unsigned) 02:43, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Custom things mapping

At long last, the doomwiki articles and DeHackEd lumps have allowed me to create this custom things mapping file for DMMPST (TSV format):

Please let me know any improvements/corrections. And here's how you can help with mapping files for other WADs. --Dynamo128 (talk) 10:47, 2 December 2021 (CST)

Bilinear Filtering

I'm having trouble finding screenshots of items and enemies that aren't doused in filters. Any help? MargaretThatcher (talk) 11:51, 9 August 2022 (CDT)

Level Groups

Hacx's levels are supposed to take place around the globe, Danny traversing them through the Microtel in his Noggin. Due to Hacx's turbulent development, however, the level count was slashed and the order muddied up. In my opinion, It would be quite useful to have this written down on the main page.

San Francisco, United States:

• MAP01: GenEmp Corp.
• MAP02: Tunnel Town
• MAP03: Lava Annex
• MAP04: Alcatraz

Somewhere in China (Likely Beijing due to its proximity to the Great Wall of China and the Bohai Sea)

• MAP06: Digi-Ota
• MAP07: The Great Wall
• MAP08: Garden of Delights
• MAP09: Hidden Fort

Paris, France

• MAP11: Notus Us!
• MAP12: Gothik Gauntlet
• MAP13: The Sewers
• MAP15: Twilight of Enk's

Giza, Egypt

• MAP31: Desiccant Room
• MAP16: Protean Cybex
• MAP17: River of Blood

Washington D.C., United States

• MAP19: The War Rooms

Cyberspace

• MAP05: Cyber Circus
• MAP10: Anarchist Dream
• MAP14: 'Trode Wars ^
• MAP18: Bizarro
• MAP20: Intruder Alert!

^(Maps 14 and 15 were swapped around between the release of 1.0 and 1.1, 1.0 presumably being the intended order) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MargaretThatcher (talk • contribs) .

Sounds too speculative for my taste, but now it's listed here – that suffices. --Xymph (talk) 02:45, 22 February 2024 (CST)

Here's my thought process.

• We know it's San Franciso since map04 is "Alcatraz".
• In China, we visit a large city, a segment of the Great Wall of China, and a small dock that I'm guessing is the Bohai Sea. Beijing is relatively close to all these locations (if we assume "Digi-Ota" is Beijing and Danny never went backward, then it makes sense for him to travel such a long distance.
• The text screen after "Notus Us!" explicitly mentions Paris.
• "Protean Sybex" and "River of Blood" prominently showcase the Great Pyramids of Giza. Unfortunately, they seem to have exaggerated the amount of pyramids, alongside adding the Taj Mahal, Saint Basil's Cathedral, and the Lincoln Memorial.
• You can see the White House out of the window in "The War Rooms", which is a pretty explicit confirmation of Washington D.C.
