Hexen II engines?

[Wazat]

My good friend just bought Hexen II, and we've been having a lot of fun with it (no spoilers, please!). However, software Hexen II runs *really* slow for me unless I drop it down to the *lowest* resolution. GL Hexen II wants glide2x.dll, which I don't have anywhere.

Are there any new Hexen engines out? And, since Quake and HexenII are so related, does Darkplaces have the ability to run Hexen II? I'm pretty sure it will run its maps, but probably not the game.

A decent looking engine that uses my video card to render instead of assailing my cpu in software mode would help a ton. Thanks all!

By the way, I just got glHexenII to run, but I'm still wondering if there are other engines out there. In Quake we have Darkplaces and FTE and other options, so I figured the Hexen II community has probably done the same. Does anyone have a high recommendation?

FTE runs hexen2... but one of the bosses needs a noclip.
And it has no built-in hud.

You can try newhexen, which is about the only modified hexen2 engine (that isn't really a quake engine at least).

The Hexen II community is pretty empty and dramatical, there's barely any technological developments for it.

The game lacks alot of depth and without depth there's no interest, so

I'm surprised to hear you say it lacks depth. So far, I've noticed Hexen II out of the box has a lot of stuff Quake lacked... like a story line.

That's too bad they're so inactive. Well, I'll try out newhexen, or just stick with the GLHexenII that I just recently got working.

Cheers, all!

If these go unused they'll be openquartz'ed.
