Hexen 2 DC

Someone posted a .SBI packfor Hexen 2. I was wondering where to put the .wad file. It creates a Hexen2gl dir. Does it go there? If not where? Sorry. I'm just kinda slow about this stuff...

Hexen 2 does not use WAD files, are you shure you are not trying to make your CD with a copy of Hexen 1?

(I wish that was ported).

Oddly enough, I have the source code to that somewhere on my hard drive. I could have a go at porting that as well, but not right now. I already tried Heretic, but I couldn't get it to work right away, so gave up.

Should be possible, but I want to work on Doom first, then Heretic and Hexen should be easier to do.

Man if you got Hexen to port, game saves and all that is...

RPG Heaven could open up to us all! You can make some killer TC's with that game.

Sorry. I was a little tired last night. I mean .PAK. Any idea where I would put the .PAK? Thanks...

I had the demo of Hexen II and loved it. Course the demo's always show the best part but still. I never could find a place to buy it at the time.

Hexen AND Doom? :o (and heretic ?) cool

In your root directory (assuming you are going to burn a non-boot CD, you will need 1st_read.bin, ip.bin, and a directory called DATA1.
Inside the DATA1 directory you need to place PAK0.PAK, PAK1.PAK, and a folder called GLHEXEN.

That is it, let me know if it works.

BTW How do you make this one selfboot? Anyone?

Self Boot Inducer and a .sbi file.

Ok well then Hexen 2 will prolly have its own directory for DI, just treat that directory as your root and set things up like I said for the non-boot version.

I have not used DI yet, so beyond that help, that is all I can give.

Wait... dont burn it yet!

Bero just released a new compile of his Hexen II port with one big new feature...

MIDI support

So now if you get it working you can listen to the original background music too

Get it from Bero's site:
http://dcquake.sourceforge.net
or wait until a new sbi file is made

Sorry...

If midi support works with hexen II, it will work with nxdoom ?

XDelusion · Post by **XDelusion** » Thu Sep 05, 2002 1:33 pm

Aura said he was going to look into that as soon as he could.

As for booting with DI, don't use the 1st_read.bin, use the other one, I forgot to mention that!

BlackAura · Post by **BlackAura** » Thu Sep 05, 2002 11:53 pm

It will kinda work, but I can't use his midi library directly - it's incompatible with nxDoom's sound system. Still, there's no reason that I can't write a MUS playing library based on parts of it.
