Hexen 2: Portal... where can I get a copy?
Okay, I recently got back inot Heretic and Hexen. So today I ordered a copy of Deathkings of the Dark Citadel (Hexen's expansion) and went looking for a copy of Hexen 2's expnasion.
I found very few copies (three on amazon.com) and two of the three were 80 bucks. The other was just the cd, no box or manual, and they wanted 50 bucks.
Does anyone have any idea where I can find a copy of Hexen 2's expansion? Hell... I'm almost to the point I'd buy a copy off of somebody. :p

Okay, new question. No need to start a new thread for this... reinstalled Hexen 2.
It's been a long ass time since I've played it (or any Quake engien based game) but I started a new game in GLHexen 2.
When the levels load up it has black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, almost like in widescreen. And the game looks grainy.
Plus I'm having a hard ass time getting the resolution to change.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Here's something which should make you a smile a source port for Hexen II featuring: Fixs to the game, New options, New effects etc.
UQE Engine: http://www.quake-engine.com/
The successor to Newhexen! (For those who usted to play Newhexen, but now it's abandoned and this is the continuation)
Highly recommended makes Hexen II much more compatible with XP and is a nicer engine

Okay, a favor if you please.
For some odd reason within the past few months I've lost my Hexen 2 CD (not odd at all, planning a wedding the whole apartment is in a state of disorder).
But to my joy when I heard STEAM had gained all id Software titles, so I snatched up Hexen 2 for five bucks.
But to my shock and horror.... no music. Since the music for H2 was stored on the disc the STEAM version does not have any. Makes the game at times feel very empty and dull.
And to my requested favor, could somebody who has the game simply copy the music files and e-mail them to me? I could them burn them to a disc and use that when I play H2.

Man, why such attitude? Did you ever think of asking politely if I and tried midi?leileilol wrote:Just use the MIDI music option. Yes, it exists. No, we're not committing any illegal activities here by sending you copyrighted CD images. If you have a problem with it, you should complain to Steam.
And yes, I did. Only when I tried it still no music and it crashed the game.
So hence I came here and posted that favor.
I have sense returned to the game and through the properties option verified the integrity of the games cache. Upon doing that, a game file was fixed and I'm now able to enjoy the musical splendor of Hexen 2.
I simply forgot about posting my findings here.
Next time, ask a few more questions before accusing someone of something.

Not sure you can do anything about the frame rates directly. To change the resolution you need to add in the command variables to the glquake.exe ie. glquake.exe -hight 600 -width 800 (or something like that). Google took me here.
You can either make a bat file or edit the target properties of your shortcut icon... or just type it in at command line.
good luck
