  • Hexen2's Deathmatch FAQ - Help!

    Hi, I'm Lejionator, a quake2(and all others quakes) player!

    I wish you could help me best to explain to me all about the multiplayer of Hexen 2, something like "Hexen2's Deathmatch FAQ".

    1- What is the program(or server files) more optimized for dedicated server nowadays to Hexen2(to weak CPUs)?

    2- There is a "server browser" or something that really works for Hexen2? Where can I find a list of current servers to play deathmatch online?

    3- The deathmatch(FFA) was actually the most played online mode in Hexen2? Or single-player, CTF, or someone other mode(or mod) was the most overplayed in the past? Is there any mod like duels(1v1) and "vanilla" teamplay in this game?

    4- There is something, a program that inhibits cheaters of entering the Hexen2 servers?

    Please help me. I'm interested to encourage the resuscitation of this game (especially in my country, Brazil). Thanks by advance!

      Hey!

      I had a search around for you.
      Have a read here:
      Multiplayer anyone? :: HeXen II General Discussions
      Which will lead you to here :
      Steam Community :: Group :: HeXen II Multiplayer

      Here is a very long thread from here :
      http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-tal...iscussion.html
      That you may find interesting.

      Also this might be worth a look:
      Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion | SourceForge.net
      I haven't tried it so I don't know.

      There was something called NewHexen (1.17?) a while back but I can't find a link for it.

      Anyway, If your just after mp then joining the above Steam group will probably help the most.

      I have the original boxed versions of Hexen2 & the expansion packed away somewhere. I haven't played them in like ten years. I might go check them out on Steam now.

      I hope this helps.

        Thanks for the effort, my friend! I've been researching some of it, but I found some things that will take me where I'm going.

        This "Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion", aka "uhexen2" is a modern and enhanced vanilla-style of client port to hexen2! It is a good client, compatible with the operating systems of today.

        And there is also an old and particular forum about Hexen2 > Raven-Games Forums - Powered by vBulletin

        Now I need to continue to look for my questions and see if I find something about this ancient and fun game!
