Vis-tool a little bugged?!??!?

h2rudl — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 12:08:17 GMT

You can try it out: start a map editor and make a simple room put one brush with the *lowlight water-texture in it and compile it.
The result is strange: when you step into this water brush you can't see into the room. You can only see the water textures :exclamationmark:

I got this with nh-tools and uhexen tools too!

Or am I just too stupid to make water???

Key item in Thysis missing

psychopath666 — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 03:02:53 GMT

Hey, I'm new here, and first I'ld like to say, great work, and I'm really enjoying playing this updated version of Hexen II

<[b]Spoilers[/b]>

Now, in the Pyramid of Anubis, the Scepter seems to be missing. After wondering around aimlessly for some time, i finally decided to check an online walkthrough to be sure, and the scepter is suppose to be in the room where there are four pillars and a large red carpet that is a trap door. On the far sid of the room is an inscription, and above that, the scepter is suppose to reside. on the right hand wall is a secret passage in which there is a button in the shape of an aunk that is suppose to drop the scepter down so that you can aquire it.

That scepter is not there, and of course, it is not in my inventory, or in the area where is to be later placed to progress the game.

<[b]End Spoilers[/b]>

Also of interest is that when the game initially loads, the demo of the Stables does not, and an error appears saying:

[b]Stables[/b]
Host Error: *model 134 not found

Now i doubt this has anything to do with my problem as it is in a completely different part of the game.

no crosshair in OpenGL mode

ajstahl — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 01:59:48 GMT

I've tried the following methods, but cannot get a crosshair in OpenGL mode:

- setting "crosshair" to "1" in console during gameplay
- setting "crosshair" to "1" in config.cfg
- adding "-crosshair 1" to the command line when starting GLHexen2.exe

The crosshair works fine in software rendering mode

Gamma error

AcidGlow — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 15:44:56 GMT

I noticed that when I up the "brightness" ingame then when I quit the game and go to my desktop, the gamma is up.. O_O So I just have to lower the gamme by a 0.01 mark then put it back to default and it's back to normal. Odd how it does that..

How to run in window mode?

AcidGlow — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 15:05:40 GMT

delete plz

Game won't run at 1600x1200

robvdl — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 06:48:44 GMT

Just found this site today, thanks, it's nice to be able to play Hexen 2 again on modern hardware, and this time with mouse look...

I have a 1600x1200 LCD and tried running the game using GLHexen2.exe -width 1600 -height 1200 -bpp 32. The game won't start, however the original GL Hexen 2 can run at that res.

I noticed that if I view the list of available video modes inside the game, it goes no higher than 1280x1024. So I tried running GLHexen2.exe -width 1280 -height 960 -bpp 32 (although it would be nicer to be able to run the native LCD res if I could). The game does run at this res, but for some reason the gamma was very high, everything was washed out and Bloom didn't work.

I tried dropping the res to 1152x864, still washed out, and no bloom.

I tried dropping the res to 1024x768, this mode worked fine, no more high gamma, and bloom worked.

I am still able to run the game at 1024x768 no problem, but it would be nice to be able to play it at 1600x1200 with bloom. Keep up the good work :)

I have a 256MB GeForce 7950 GT PCI Express running the NVidia 93.71 drivers.

ERROR: PoP model not found

Artas1984 — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 12:29:40 GMT

Korax!

I have been speaking with reemul about PoP. He gave me the link to download the PoP game that should have everything but not the original pak files from original Hexen 2.

The file that i have got from him i have myself uploaded to a private server.

Downlaod:

http://tombraider.central-game.net/sys/painkiller/artas1984/pop.zip

The thing is, this file contains PoP pak5.pak and pak6.pak files and all it needs for PoP to play are original Hexen_2 pak0.pak and pak1.pak files also as original UQE Hexen_2 pak3.pak and pak4.pak files.

So all 6 pak files are in order but when i launch the game, there comes an error, that reports:

[URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/3083/errorof8.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

And btw, what are "progs" files? They never were either in original Hexen_2 or in UQE Hexen_2, and if i delete them nothing changes.

Btw, why is this "portals" directory neede at all? I find it unimportant because all pak files and the cfg i paste in the "data1" and the game still works.

Well now, lets see what you will say Korax

Graphical Glitches

Twood1130 — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 01:08:10 GMT

When playing uqe hexen 2 I cant see the ammo display very well, so i turned on scale 2d, and in addition to looking kind of bad stretched out on 1280*800 resolution the mana display is still very hard to read.

Anyway i can fix this?

Game crash

danielaldana — Sun, 16 Jul 2006 19:09:02 GMT

Hi,

First of all I want to thank you for releasing this engine. I've been wanting to play through Hexen II for some time and wasn't able to do it in XP. Now, my problem right now is in Mazaera. When all the artifacts have been placed in Bridge of Stars, and want to go throught the teleport to fight Death, the game crashes. I don't know if it helps but on the loading dialog, the server bar (the red one) becomes full and the client bar (the yellow one) doesn't move.

If you need information about the error Windows XP sends (the error report dialog) feel free to ask.

Thank you!

UQE 1.13 Hexen 2 Crashes after finishing the first hub.

Reilsss — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 23:30:39 GMT

Hello all, I noticed something on the UQE Hexen 2 1.13 engine.
I played with a friend together the game in CO OP, after destorying the frist boss, and switching from hub 1 to hub 2 (durring the text screen) do 2 kinds
of errors happen to me.

Error type one does throw me by the begin of trying to load the second episode / second hub, back into the consol. The server is by that suddenly closed. And I see follow screen:
[URL=http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=weeehl2ia6.jpg][IMG]http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8710/weeehl2ia6.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Error type two gives me just an Error message by trying to load the second episode, and freezes the game. The Error message looks like this:
[URL=http://img157.imageshack.us/my.php?image=weeehl2up3.jpg][IMG]http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/8353/weeehl2up3.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I wondered if the multiplayer is buggy and so Started a single player game to test. By switching in Single player mod from HUB 1 to HUB 2 does as well the game crash in one of the two ways.

I also tryed to start a server from the 2nd Hub out. (Mesa2 I think is the map called) And it work. I can load the map without a problem and play it. But for some odd reason could my friend not join a server that is hosed on Hub 2. I do yet not know why that was so and eventually try that tonight again.

But I'm very confused that the game crashes durring the map change, while each map can be loaded without a problem.

Has somebody a suggestion maybe for what I could or should try out next? As far I know is the game correctly patched, But I did also not figure out where or how to check that.

Center View doesn't work!

Hurezeanu — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 02:06:03 GMT

Hi everyone,

congratulations Korax on releasing the UQE, it's great! ONe problem I've noticed in my game is that the center view key doesn't work for any character... even if I change center view from the "end key" to a different key, center view just won't work.

Could this be a bug?

Any help would be appreciated!

Crashing when it starts a new game

pirapp — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 22:38:51 GMT

Hi, it great this engine, thanks for it.

I only have a little problem. When I try to start a new game, I can choose the character and the skill level, and after that the game freeze. Sometimes only appears the damn window that says that opengl32.dll have committed an error and have to close. And sometimes the systems boots after the screen freeze and stay blinking. I don't know why is happening this, I believe at first that maybe it was the antivirus but I disable it and it still equal. I don't know that it is a drivers problem, but I have that last version.

My videocard is an nvidia mx4000 from MSI, and windows xp, with the latest version of the drivers from the nvidia page. Just for more information.

Again congratulations for your engine its very great and thanks for any help you could give me.

impossible to get a key

PiKs3y — Fri, 04 Aug 2006 13:35:59 GMT

If I'm not incorrect, in the Stables after you pick up the shovel you should go to a tree on that same level and the ground should become dug up and reveal a key.

When I do this and go all around the tree the ground does not give way and therefore no key.

It looks like a bug but I'm not sure.

uqehx2bsp deleting .bsp file?

nox_umbra — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 01:41:43 GMT

I have extracted the base .bsp file demo1.bsp from pak0.pak, and I try to run uqehx2bsp with the -onlytextures option and I get the following:

It seems like uqehx2bsp is deleting the file, and not extracting the textures. Any suggestions?

Strange Crouching Bug

Razumen — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 05:44:32 GMT

I've tested this alot and I'm pretty sure it's a bug, the game only lets me crouch when I'm standing completely still, you can't move at all while crouching.

Also, torches still don't light up the area around them like they used to, it only lights polygons facing it.

Weird water sometimes

Xanithe — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 09:38:26 GMT

I've been playing through H2 on the new engine, and I keep getting weird water bugs. most notably on forums of zeus, the entire water skin seems to disappear, so I can't tell I'm even underwater. I've seen several other odd texture bugs going through the game: some flashing stuff here and there. If you need a savegame or screenshots let me know.
