INSTALLATION
Version 1.0
released 9 October 2008
Everything for the game is included in the ZIP file at the left. Unzip the file into your Heretic II directory and a new directory will be created called "Oglequest."
Click the Ogle - The Return of Morcalavin shortcut in the Oglequest folder. This will start the game. The game opens in standard software mode, so change everything you need (binds, video, sound) or load a saved config, and then EXIT the game. A permanent config.cfg will
appear in the Oglequest folder. If you don't exit the game after creating this config file, the Ogle player model will show up as Corvus and the in-game messages and sounds will be all screwy!
So, when your config is as you want it, and you've exited, click on Ogle - The Return of Morcalavin to start up the game again. Good luck! The fate of Parthoris rests once more in your hands.

KNOWN BUGS
The rotating cylinder in "Cliffs of X'chekrik" sometimes gets stuck, but if you move around the map, you'll retrigger it. I've gone to great lengths to avoid this, but alas it's not perfect.
The "Ogle Vigilante" map pushes H2 to its limits, but nothing (that I know of) disappears and an overflow error only occasionally shows when the map first loads. Sometimes the weapons' sounds turn into Ogles singing, which is REALLY bizarre and I can't begin to understand why that happens. If that happens to you, the only cure is to finish the map.
CREDITS
- The makers and distributors of Heretic II.
- Leprechaun for the jail cell, skinning, storylining and testing.
- Heretic Hides for technical assistance, early testing, the Ogle player
model, hydra and spider models, the grappling iron model, and a number of prefabs found on his site. His website was very helpful altogether in how to design an H2 SP add-on, in case you may want to someday.
- Talon for giving the Ogle daggers, for the rain and snow effects and for the grappling iron. He is the creator of T-Mod, an expansive library of multi-purpose add-ons for H2.
- Sarah Williams for voicing "the High Priestess of K'chekrik."
- Rick Walters for voicing "the Fairburian."
- Those whose textures and skies I may have used and/or altered whom I've not accredited here.
The characters Corvus, Morcalavin, Siernan and the High Priestess of K'chekrik are creations of Raven Software (1998). The Ogle: Return of Morcalavin Heretic II add-on is distributed by amwilliams.com, a personal website of Alan Michael Williams hosted by 1&1 Internet, Inc. I am not affiliated with Raven Software, Activision or ID Software in any way.
The Ogle: Return of Morcalavin Heretic II add-on is provided free, "as is," without warranty of any kind.
