Love Brutal Heretic and Hexen. Can't play Heretic without it now. Thank you so much... I saw several Youtube videos playing modded Heretic but titled something like "Heretic HD" (for example: Heretic HD (rain, parallax, voxels, upscale, resound)
I was especially interested in the PBR stuff available now and wanted to see if I could get Brutal Heretic 5.0 to work properly with all the HD goodness... After a lot of trial/error I got it to work and believe everything functions (several load orders seemed to work but broke mechanics in BH or the other mods). This exact order is the ONLY one that seems to work:
In order:from Heretic HD PBR 1.2 note: do NOT use HERETIC_REMADE.wad. It appears to work but *breaks* BrutalHeretic
1. heretic_hd_pbr.pk3
2. HERETIC_Relight_Maps.WAD
then:
3. BrutalHereticRPG_5.0.pk3
4. Dwars's Heretic HQ SFX Pack - All Sound Effects Remastered! (I chose the ogg version as GZDoom supports it)
5. The AMAZING Heretic Music Remaster by the legendary Xeotroid
6. The latest Heretic Neural Texture Pack. (I believe this is newer than the one included with BH5.0??? but unsure if some textures are missing)
7. Universal Rain and Snow - (didn't really care about it but it is in many videos showcasing "HD" - you have to enable it via in-game menu)
8. Reikall's Heretic Voxels - IMO they look great
The only problem I have is when I use Reikall's Heretic Voxels. For some reason when it is combined with BH5 there are 2 pickups (e.g. Elven Wand ammo) that "bob" in and out of the floor and the GL effect is where the voxel model should be. This doesn't happen when using the voxel mod alone or BH without the voxel mod. I've tried every load order and even hacking the DECORATE files to no avail. Any ideas?? I'd really like this to work.

Again, thanks for your excellent work.
