Hell's Maw was my favorite Heretic I map. For good or bad I tried

to keep the look and feel of the original map.

Hell's Maw contained large open areas and many entities. Therefore...

Wpoly never gets above 450.

Epoly gets pretty high in and around the middle room.

(Epoly counts will improve after the barrels are exploded.)

* Notes *

In Heretic I the designers were limited by the number of textures

they could use. By todays standards this would be called "texture

overuse". To break up the repeated textures I've rotated the stone

wall textures at different angles and used colored lighting.

I hate lava. I replaced lava with smoldering rock. There is a

trigger_damage on the rock but it's set to the lowest damage

value.

I put a shrine where the original map had a wall switch. (The middle

shrine is in the adjoining "red" room.)

The exploding "spore things" were replaced by exploding barrels. Not

particularly useful in a deathmatch map but they don't respawn.

Hope you enjoy it!
