Hammer of Thyrion for Debian ---------------------------- This is the engine only, in order to play the game you need the game data. Game data can be installed: - Using game-data-packager, this is the recommended way to get the game working. See #733750 for details. - Alternatively copy the original game data (data1/pak0.pak and data1/pak1.pak) to /usr/share/games/hexen2/data1. How to patch Gamedata to 1.11 ----------------------------- if your pak0.pak and pak1.pak files are from version 1.03 (original cdrom version) of the game, you must patch them to 1.11 There are a couple of ways to accomplish that - Use game-data-packager, this is the recommended way. Manual patching instructions follow - run the upgrade-111.sh script on examples directory, as root. - run h2patch as root - patch the files from h2launcher menu - use xdelta to patch forward the files: MD5sum for the gamedata files ----------------------------- + data1/pak0.pak v1.03 b53c9391d16134cb3baddc1085f18683 + data1/pak1.pak v1.03 9a2010aafb9c0fe71c37d01292030270 + data1/pak0.pak v1.11 c9675191e75dd25a3b9ed81ee7e05eff + data1/pak1.pak v1.11 c2ac5b0640773eed9ebe1cda2eca2ad0 + portals/pak3.pak (Portal of Praevus, no need to patch this one) 77ae298dd0dcd16ab12f4a68067ff2c3 + hw/pak4.pak (HexenWorld, no need to patch this one) 88109ee385d9723ac5f1015e034a44dd Online Play ----------- There is a community around http://hexenworld.org/ which plays Hexen II online Quoting dustin samko: If you install XQF, configure it for hexen2 & hexenworld, then choose the "Add Master" option. You can add the following "http" lists and you will be able to query hexen2 & hexenworld servers: Hexen II: http://hexenworld.org/hexen2 HexenWorld: http://qtracker.com/server_list_details.php?game=hexenworld I'm only able to pull traffic stats for the hexen2 list and we're getting multiple users who query it daily across the world :) PS: On Saturdays you'll see up to 3 live servers, that's when we normally play. Feel free to join in anytime :) -- gustavo panizzo Fri, 22 Jun 2018 16:03:08 +0800
