About Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion

In 2000, Raven Software released the source code to their class based shooter game Hexen II and its multiplayer extension

HexenWorld. Since then, there has been some source ports of this game, such as the now discontinued Anvil of Thyrion project,

but nothing has been done for Linux since the beginning of 2002.

The Hammer of Thyrion project is a cross-platform source port effort: We continue the development for Linux, BSD and Mac OS X people,

with continued support for Windows users as well. Many bugs are fixed and even new features are added: New sound modes, improved

mouse handling, improved video modes, OpenGL glows and more.

Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion requires a copy of the Hexen II game data to function. Simply copy the game data directory data1

from a regular copy of Hexen II into ~/.var/app/net.sourceforge.uhexen2.uhexen2/.hexen2/ - if this is missing, you will

be reminded when starting Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion.
