[Feature] Autoload/widescreen support for Chex and HacX

Open NightFright2k19 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Since Chex Quest (chex.wad, chex2.wad) and HacX 1.2 (hacx.wad) are very similar to Doom, it would be nice to have dedicated autoload and widescreen support for these games as well.

Notes:

  • Chex won't work without Fraggle's chex.deh patch. Maybe it should be implemented somehow for easier setup
  • Technically, chex2.wad is a PWAD for chex.wad and won't work without it. However, it has different level names which aren't covered by chex.deh. An adjusted dehacked file would have to be provided with just the level names changed, like so:

  • Widescreen assets for all mentioned games can be taken from Nash's WidePix project
  • Widescreen statusbars (if needed) can be taken from the Widescreen Statusbars project
  • Autoload for both games should override any files set up in autoload_global section (like doom2.wad)

@NightFright2k19 Autoload system was changed to the Directory based autoload. Can it help with Chex and HacX assets?
