Anonymous	A combination of terrible maps and nonsense design sends this hub straight to the recycle bin.	x
Anonymous	Enjoying this game. I love hexen hubs ever since I figured out how they work. (happened this year) Best part in this game is exploring areas and finding all the switches.	x
Anonymous	I don't know how I missed this one before. The mapping could use more polish, but the author's puzzles and traps are clever and engaging. There are also some epic large areas, I particularly liked the big multi-floor labyrinth in the fire level. On the downside, some areas look kind of noobish, there are a few death without warning traps, and it follows the same fire-ice-steel pattern as half the Hexen map sets out there. Still worth a look.	x

For best results use with registered version of HEXEN.

NEWHUB4.WAD Version 4.01 (fully complete)

This is the first version that I consider fully complete and I know
    you will not be disappointed.     
   
    I have not been able to test Deathmatch and cooperative modes as of yet.
    The reason I mention it is that I added a couple of things that need to
    be done as a team of at least two (switches and stuff)  There are some
    areas and doors that only open in Modem or Net Deathmatch mode.
    
    Many hours of spare time spent on this project.
    All levels created using DeePBSP (Registered version). 
    (Great Tool!  I've tried almost all of them.)

Lets credit ID and Raven Software for creating products that live on 
    after the original version is solved.

+++++++++ About ++++++++++++++
    A little bit about the maps........
   
    This isn't just a run around and find the keys and open doors and find
    the secrets and you're done. Noooo..... Ok, so MAP01 is a single run
    around find the keys level. (I justify it by saying to myself - " It's
    for the kids who never get past level one".)  MAP02 starts the hub area
    and so starts the real fun.  At midnight lots of monsters come out to   
    play. (or eat!) You must stop the clock to stop the monsters.  Sounds 
    easy, but the road will take you through 3 cities each with a puzzle to
    solve and each also waiting for the stroke of midnight. Your journey will
    take you through the City of Fire where lava and earthquakes as well as
    shooting fireballs will test your courage. (You gotta see the mini-
    fireworks). The City of Steel will test your might as you try to pass
    through the crushing columns.  Then the City of Ice is waiting to 
    challenge you with the indestructible see-though wall, you will need to
    find the Tuning Fork to destroy them.  
    (Thats right I said see-through but can't shoot through.)
    If you are lucky to make it to the "Tower of Hope", well you'll need 
    lots of it.  Hope you found all the clues for the combination lock that
    is waiting for you there.

    MAP04 (city of fire)     is complete.

    +++++++++ BUGS Fixed ++++++++++
    (Disclaimer: The file is getting to large for me to test easily.)
    1.   Some mapspots where out of place. (ie. Mini-Fireworks)
    2.   Sometimes when going to the Tower of Hope (MAP06) the game would 
         lock-up.  This was a map stack problem, I moved the teleport to
         MAP06 from MAP03 to somewhere on MAP02.
    3.   Thanks to SLandis759 for finding that the Mage couldn't open the 
         secret door to the jail cells.         
    4.   Thanks to Scott McNutt for the (slice and dice) script fix.
    5.   A sector in the Tower of Hope had the same tag id number as the
         lift in the tower.
