Thanks!

Hexen II single player cooperative

Hey!

Would it be available to make a cooperative in a single player game?

Are the coop tools installed with v1.13?

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.

Psykomanius — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 19:34:56 GMT

[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:

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?

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

Of course it is UQE Hexen II.

The IP adress is the LAN adress btw

Cannot run "Portal of praevus" expansion after patching

Sifozais — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 20:20:36 GMT

Hello. This is my first post here.
I have completed both of Hexens II missions without any walkthrougs :cool:

I just today read about your UQE patch. So momentally decided to try it out. And would like to say, great job on textures!

I patched as stated in readme, deleting the old files. The UQE Xexen is running only original game, and using command "-portals" to run Portal of Praevus nothing happens, and shows invalid command.
The same happens when i enter the resolutions changes in console "1024x768x32" and i get the same answer.

I patched files manually after extraction from RAR file, dragging and dropping each file in to the place which was stated in readme.

Have I done something wrong? :(

Have I anderstood right, that [b]Korax[/b] are working on another single player Hexen II expansion?

Video: UQE Hexen II trickjumps by Artas1984

Artas1984 — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 18:44:20 GMT

Well folks, it's about time to make a video is'n't it!?

I have been playing Hexen II so long and finaly after i got the UQE, i decided to make a special video featuring all the possible trickjumps in this game!

I did not wanted to make a video on a simple Hexen II coz it just looked crapy and the cfg did not allowed real Quake movement.

Now having UQE engine not only the graphics look advanced for videos but the movement is fixed to make the game real! Having old Hexen II i could not do any of special jumping.

Some of the jums are easy and not required for objectives while other are hard and contain useful paths of shortcuting and geting secrets.

Not to be too boring i have added a soundtrack and some other cuts of fighting:

First cut features the Paladin owning the Death Serpent Rider on lord difficulty and not geting any damage. End shows some plain fun.

The soundtrack is "Kashmir" from Led Zeppelin.

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?

Where I can found POP Music ?

Bat[BW] — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 08:11:01 GMT

Hello !

Anyone here have the original Hexe II Portal of Praevus CD ?

Put them in order, and create a zip after.

Post it here, for each players.

If you don't want post it here

I need cheats working!

Artas1984 — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 18:52:02 GMT

I am already an experienced Hexen II player, i have went this game on hardest difficulties with every class without cheating several times!

I need cheats not to show myself that i am some lamer, but because i want to make another massive Hexen II movie! So the problem is that the cheats those were working in original Hexen II, don't work now!

What can you say about that Korax? Why chets are disabled or what?

Hi, guys! Tried to google for it, but can't find anything. Does anyone know exact names of the songs, instead of those track1, track2 etc.?

Im looking for some console command

Bat[BW] — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 04:03:57 GMT

HeLLo all !

Do you know are can I found a list of all command of Hexen II. Because I want host a dedicated server with a maplist, fraglimit, timelimit, maxplayers, hostname, etc.

Maybe my server will not be on Gamespy, but with Hamachi on your computer you will can see my server 24/24 - 7/7 open.

If you can help me please, try !

PS : Im currently build a website for Hexen II. There I will explain How get Hexen II, How Install the UQE, How play online, Your message board like Official Hexen II forum.

music and commands

jonc2006 — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 19:13:55 GMT

im using newhexen not this quake engine thing here, but i want to be able to play the game, and have the cd music without the game cd. i can already play the game without it, but i am forced to have midi versions of the songs play rather than the higher quality stuff on the cd. is there a way to extract the music files off the cd and then place them in my hexen II folder and have the program read it automatically? also, how do you make it so commands like gl_polyblend 0 are saved after quitting the game instead of having to reenter it everytime i play?
