HEXEN II community work and discussion

Another editor is nice, but what this game really needs is an extended BSP format and new map compilers. The effective clipnode limit in the BSP is much lower than even Quake's. This means Quake mappers can run into a very, very nasty surprise when they try to map for Hexen 2 because the thing about the additional clipping hulls is not obvious.

Why not post/link your "Development screenshot gif" directly here in your post ?
It includes really nice pics !

I like these the most:


Really great work.
Looking forward to your beta release.

You're welcome Yes, I'm planning to make a sequel where you're going to visit all 4 continents but that's not my next project.

Oh, we will also be happy when your next project is a Quake map

Spike,

I have been fighting with alpha channel once again Maybe you can help me with my current issues. I managed to get alpha in Hexen 2 models, however my current issue is, that sometimes texture shows only on one side of face. The other problem is that sometimes face blocks the view of other model faces, which are behind.

Most class starter weapons seem to have multiple attack anims, but the paladin vorpal sword doesn't.

I think it'd be great if the sword got 2 or 3 extra anims for swinging, like diagonal and overhead slashes. It'd be a simple but really nice mod to make the vorpal sword a teeny bit more interesting.

Looks like Korax homepage is down. Does anybody have a link to the latest UQE Hexen, or maybe even the older versions?

[WhiteMagicRaven]

Korax lets to know he is reorganizing his page, it will be available later

He sent me the links after I messaged him on Steam:

http://www.jacqueskrige.com/uqe_hexen2_117.7z
http://www.jacqueskrige.com/uqe_quake2_322.7z
http://www.jacqueskrige.com/uqe_quake_112.7z

Try those - I haven't tried them myself yet but I assume they work since they came straight from the author of UQE.

inkub0's texture pack doesn't seem to work with Hammer of Thyrion and it crashes UQE v117 - does anyone know how to make it work with the current versions of either of these engines? Does it require Portal of Praevus or something (I don't have Portal of Praevus, so I don't know if that is a factor or not)?

Thanks!
