now it says:

Fatal Error: unable to find a proper hexen ii installation

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

@Corso85:
copy pak files from original game to MyDocs/.hexen2/data1 folder

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I did. It even said added packfile ---pak0.pak 696 files and added packfile pak1.pak 523 files.

still fatal errors. my pak files are no good?

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

you need to instal hexen 2 on your pc then update it by installing the latest patch then copy the pak files to the MyDocs/.hexen2/data1 folder

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I did that. Installed Hexen 2. Then installed the patch CepiPerez posted. (Noticed the pak files slight size change, so I presume the patch did somthing). Then copied it from data1 on the PC to data1 on the N900.

Weird yeah? :/ Here is a screenshot. Maybe someone can compare the sizes n let me know.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

those r the sizes that i have used which work great, why dont u try to reinstall the .deb file again?

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

The package is now in Extras-devel repository

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Lol, you forget to plug out the USB cable! :p

Plug it out :p

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

where is the quake 2 thread?

I found quake 2 in devel repo installed it but can't find anny informations on where to put the pak file

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I've compiled and uploaded quake2 to extras-devel
But I don't make a thread cause I'll add keyboard layout support first.
Copy file pak0.pak to /home/user/.quake2/baseq2 and enjoy the game.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Thx for answer, works great now ;) a bit laggy sometimes but still very playable

Great work

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I've put the package in extras-testing with keyboard support as described here.

Please test it and vote here.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

are basedir and userdir hardcoded? :(

i'd like to have my basedir in an alternative location. in quake (where hexen2 is derived from), one can set basedir as a variable from the command line.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I get a crash to desktop when I try to enter the portal leading to the first boss battle (Famine).

EDIT: It happens with all boss stages.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Tested this for a couple of minutes and it works great! Thanks CepiPerez!

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Call me stupid but i cant make this work...would anyone be a kind person and explain to me step by step how to make it work :)?

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

You need the original game for this

- install game in PC (or find the way to extract pak0.pak file)
- connect phone in mass storage mode
- find and copy pak0.pak file to N900 (root folder)
- disconnect phone
- open terminal and type:
cp /home/user/MyDocs/pak0.pak /home/user/MyDocs/.hexen/data1
- enjoy

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

1. Install Hexen 2 from Extras-testing,
2. Make sure your Hexen 2 is patched to the latest version.
3. Copy your data-files (pak0.pak and pak1.pak) from your Hexen 2 installation directory from your PC to your .hexen2/data1 directory located in the first directory that comes up when you connect your N900 to your PC
4. Disconnect your N900 from your PC
5. Launch Hexen 2 and enjoy!

OK, was too late again but since I already wrote this I'll post it anyway.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Wait... this the same Hexen II from '96? If so... that used to be my game!

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

@MiK546:
No problem, don't edit the post.
You have pak0.pak and pak1.pak. I have only pak0.pak. Maybe a different version... the fact is: you need to copy all .pak files you have in the game.

@gerbick
Yes, this is the sh*t you used to play

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Thanks to both of you for quick and good answers :)

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Ok I foolowed this guide here and the game loads but the sound is all choppy/skippy anyone know why?

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Yes, that's because SDL sound system is a sh*t
I tried to compile using alsa but no luck with this

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Ohh so everyone has the sound issue?

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Ok so I disabled the music from cd to none in the options menu and all that choppy sound issue went away and the games runs and sounds fine with only the ingame sound effects.

Another question how about the resolution right now it defaulted to 800x480 is this fine or do we use another resoltion for this n900 screen? Thanks

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Will you promote hexen2 version 0.3armel-1 from Extras-testing to Extras repository?

BTW, Spear Of Destiny 1.6-2 and Wolfestein 3D 1.6-5 are promotable, too.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I thought packages need 10 in karma to promote.
Promoting now...
thanks!

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

They are tested by three members of the Testing Squad (the Tester after their name) so they can be promoted.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

and at least 20 days (with 10 votes ->10 days) in Extras-testing

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

i got this error:

i used the terminal to be able to add the dot before hexen2
is it important to have .hexen2 or hexen2 is good enough

my directory with files

/home/user/MyDocs/.hexen2/data1/

anything wrong?

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

i first tried with the file manager that comes with pc suite, didn't work it gave an installation error, so i used xterminal to rename hexen to .hexen it gave then user space directory error.

i hope this cleared my error out.

Remember guys to run hexen2 via terminal to know what error you are getting.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Hey, does anyone know if I can play heretic II using this engine? I know it uses quake II engine ( heretic II ), so, if not here, it`s quite possible to use it under the quake II port of maemo right?

Edit.: Ok, I see it was a stupid question, it`s needed to port it to then run under quake 2 engine. I don't remember if this game is open source though.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Bumping this topic too (bumped Open Arena already). Is this engine dead too? I installed if,copied .pak files (I used MC to create directory starting with "." ), started it and... Nothing. Black window poped out, then closed itself.

By the way, how you can run game via xterm? I'd like to see what's the problem.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Are you sure you copied your files to MyDocs/.hexen2/data1? That directory should already be there after you install Hexen 2 so if you created it yourself your datafiles are probably in a wrong place. And if you want to run Hexen 2 from xterm just type hexen2.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

It gives mi fatal error:

"you must patch your installation with raven's 111 update"

How can I update .pak files? o_O Can some1 please give me a hint, or "how to" on that?

edit: Oh, ok, http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...6&postcount=10 - that should do the trick... :-)

edit2: Works like a charm... Patch is here - http://www.filefront.com/5847/Hexen-II-v1.11-Patch/ (old link is broken)
