My video "Hexen 2 The Millenium" finaly realeased!!!

Artas1984 — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 12:31:02 GMT

Hey guys, in 2008 i have made a huge, 37 minutes long Hexen 2 video about everything i could get out of the game. Now it's finally released under the name of "Hexen 2 The Millenium".
Check out quake-engine front page for more info and please give me a feedback here!

Don't be stubborn to download the video and comment, think about the fact, that it took me some 300+ straight hours to play and record all the stuff, and another 300+ h to edit the stuff.
I mean this my lifetime Hexen 2 work. After this and the Portal Of Praevus speedrun, that i have released this year, i can say now that am truly done with Hexen 2.

And i have got a special treat for you: a speedrun video of Hexen 2 Portal Of Praevus!
It's done with Crusader for obvious reasons, on LEGEND difficulty of course!;)

And if anybody wants to get Hexen 2 Portal Of Praevus, write me an email.

Problem with Strings.txt

Rubilacxe — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 00:23:17 GMT

I installed Hexen II through the disc, patched it up to date, and followed the instructions to install the new stuff (deleteing everything I was told to). However, when I run any of the .exe's (GL or hardware), I recieve the following message, and the game does not run:

PR_LoadStrings: couldn't load strings.txt

I downloaded the zip from the Quake Engine website under the Hexen II section (the website lists the version as June 26th, 2007 I believe). Is there an updated version from this date, or did I do something wrong while installing?

Editor of maps for hexen II

AndryHexen — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:52:28 GMT

Hello guys, so, i was thinking if there is a way to create hexen 2 maps like in doom and doom 2. I'm interested in creating and modding maps and games. :D I hope you can help me, because I like Hexen a lot... :)

Anyone Up for Multiplayer?

Samkov — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 13:46:41 GMT

Over the last few months i have been hosting hexen II servers, when i started we had quite a few members, now were back down to 2 players. To keep hexen II multiplayer alive we need people to join when my server is hosted, if you would like to join please reply and i will send you the password to connect to my hamachi network. Normally the servers i host are deathmatch only, occasionally we will host a coop server. My server is up at 8pm eastern time on Saturday nights and will go on until the last person decides to leave, however i can start to host Friday nights again if anyone wants to join.

hamachi is a free vlan program, we use this because as of now it is the easiest way to connect to hexen II servers without any trouble, you can find it here https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/list.asp

Let me know if you want to join in anytime

The speed of Hexen II hurts me directly

Artas1984 — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 10:52:15 GMT

You know, i am not superb Quakeworld gamer, but in Hexen II when i gain some speed or activate the boots of speed while strafing in levels like RAVDM4, i get damage from every strafe.. WTF LOL!

Should not this be fixed at least in MP?

Hexen II via Steam & Vista - Cannot change resolution.

martial_malcolm — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 02:32:11 GMT

Hello everyone.

As the title of my thread suggests, I've recently bought Hexen II from Steam and although the game works, I can't seem to change the resolution. I am altering the command line like so:

"C:\steam\steamapps\common\hexen 2\glh2.exe" -width 1680 -height 1050 -bpp 32

I have tried various combinations of numbers, and no joy as yet. Am I doing something utterly nooblike or is it just a fact of life for a copy bought through Steam and used on Vista? I am running Vista 64 by the way. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.

Hexenworld server

Eirinjas — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 11:05:15 GMT

Myself and two members of my family have been playing Hexenworld a fair amount recently. I'm also building new Hexen II deathmatch maps, because H2 was so shortchanged in that regard. I'll post some screenshots of those soon. Anywho, for those interested in joining us just drop me an email and I'll compile an email list to inform everyone when the server will be available and what the IP is. Eventually I hope to have a permanent fulltime dedicated server for the game, but I want to test the waters first to see if there is any demand for it.

Also, I'd love to take the maps I'm building and put them into a Quake3 style mod for Hexenworld. I'm not a programmer, but if anyone out there knows HexenC and likes my idea then drop me a line and maybe we can make it happen.

my email for those looking to play some Hexen II:

eirinjas@comcast.net

Word of caution: vulgar language will not be tolerated on the server because one player is a minor. Those who use ANY graphic language will be banned outright.

From the Frontpage:

UQE Hexen II v1.14 in Development!
Written by Korax
[u]Friday, July 27, 2007[/u]
It's been a long time coming, but Im happy to announce that the next version is in development and [u]should be ready in the coming few weeks![/u]

Updates done to this new version of the UQE Hexen II engine will also be ported to the new UQE Quake engine that will also be due soon. ;)

A forum thread has been created for requests the community might have for this coming release of the UQE Hexen II engine.

"few weeks" !!! That now a long time :blink:

SYS requirements

Artas1984 — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 22:52:31 GMT

Were the system requirements written for UQE Hexen II?

Korax, can you please do an advanced search especialy on what older video cards support UQE Hexen II?

the trouble of getting hexen II

axemblack — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 09:23:06 GMT

I'm having a hard time trying to get a copy of the game, as it is quite old now. I'd really like to know how I might be able to get a copy of it since it's not going to be in stores, and all of the sites say it's backordered or w/e, so if anyone knows a way i could get it that'd be great; any sites that have a free download would be really nice

Question & crash issue

Eirinjas — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 22:16:45 GMT

Question: Does UQE support colored lighting via LIT files? I'm assuming no.

Issue: I'm working on a hi-rez texture replacement pack for H2 & the textures look great in-game, but I get a random crash that says something about an error log - there is no error log that I can find.

UQE Hexen II Problem

vDub — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 05:11:13 GMT

I upgraded my installation of Hexen II v1.11 to UQE Hexen II 1.13, but when I try to run the game, I get an error saying "The application or DLL D:\Games\Hexen II\MGLFX.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

How do I fix this problem?

UQE Portal Of Praevus trickjumps video released

Artas1984 — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 00:48:38 GMT

Well, it's time for a second part, it is not as long and entertaining as original Hexen II, but sicne the game does have some interesting ways to offer, it's a shame not to record it..

Download the video from www.video.google.com

Type "Hexen 2 trickjumps"

What is the 3 person view CMD?

Artas1984 — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 14:35:06 GMT

Heretic II? What about it's new engine?

Artas1984 — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 22:26:04 GMT

It actulay pains me that Korax had not included Heretic II when Quake 2 itself is included.

After you will be ready with UQE for Quake, how about adding Heretic II to the general forum section and updating it's engine with all that support Hexen II got from you, plus making Heretic II a FIRST PERSON view by default...

Choosing Quake3 for future editing instead of Heretic2 is an insult to Hexen/Heretic fans!;)

Portal Of Praevus courtyards of Tsok wheel's puzzle

Artas1984 — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 18:48:29 GMT

So, what's up with the wheels puzzle, that is located in the courtyards of Tsok, in chapter 2?

I mean i found those stupid signs of "SE, MU, DONG, TONG,, DRU, RA" - so what? Like they should help me out...

This puzzle seems to be even more complex than the Thysis signs of Ra puzzle in the teleporter room behind the jar... There at least you know which way you need to step, although that does not help, but here, in Tsok's courtyards, it's like you have to translate those signs and know which is SE and which MU...

Homeserver error

Artas1984 — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 04:07:20 GMT

If i try to make a home game through TCP/IP, once i load a game, i get an error:

Of course it is UQE Hexen II.

The IP adress is the LAN adress btw
