HexenII ports?

[doomer]

I was so impressed with how good jhexen looks that i have just bought Hexen2 - even with the Newhexen source port it doesn't come close to jhexen.
Are there any alternatives?
Thanks for any help.

Nope. Newhexen is all there is as far as I know.

Actually there was another I've seen on Quakesrc.org's news before but I can't quite remember the name for it....bah :O (it started with a J, i think)

doesnt newhexen require the h2 expansion pack? I was going to try it one time, but I read that ya needed that, and I gave up there because I didnt have it...or has that changed...or was I just confused (wouldnt surptise me...)

[psychosomatic]

nope. it has a batch file to run a modified path for vanilla hexen2, but you can't run mods or user levels without the mission pack.

[Psykoman]

He use the Source Code from the mission pack to make NewHexen ;)

I hear the fte quakeworld engine now supports hexen2, I haven't tried it myself but it might be worth a look...

i've never played Hexen2, is it any good?

Its a bit too slow for my taste, and the combat is pretty uninspired. Worth a look though if your a fan of the theme.

hmm well i guess then it'll depend on the price
