Are there any news regarding Hexen 2 engines development? Maybe some raised mapping limits or new features?

Func_Msgboard: Tyrutils-ericw V0.15.1
combine with -bsp2 and an engine that supports bsp2, and you can bypass pretty much all the limits, is the theory.
now we just need more than one hexen2 engine to support bsp2 (really just a case of changing some data types and then duplicating some loader functions to read int32s+floats instead of shorts, at least for gl renderers that don't have lots of datatype-specific asm).
even without bsp2, you should be able to get nicer lighting and stuff, that's the theory anyway, I don't really make maps often (and certainly not properly).
More tools is good though, right?

Due buone notizie: esistono mappe per Hexen2.......e sei italiano pure
Appena ho un pò di tempo libero le provo, ho rigiocato Hexen 2 e la sua espansione mesi fa dopo anni e anni che nn li toccavo. Funzionano usando Jshexen2? Io uso quello per giocare.

Hi to all.
Little update about H2 retexture - retexture pack updated, added textures for Egypt levels (combined from nature photos, mostly equal H2 original textures, but remaked for higher res) and something else little bit.
As usual, you can download all in one archive
(Just some texture replace, i did not touch engine, this still old jsH2 1.21.01)

Hello jeank,

I remember the glorious days when you was working hard on improving jshexen2 (while having world war 3 at home ).
It feels so good to see news from you again !
Thanks a lot for keep improving the Hexen 2 game for us.
I hope all is good for you in real life.
Looking forward to see more from your great work in the future.

Stay healthy and all the best wishes my friend,
Seven
