Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Hello guys
I've ported this game using Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion source.
You need to copy original PAK files into MyDocs/.hexen2/data1 folder to run the game (demo and full versions are supported)

It doesn't have accelerometer support yet

I'm trying to add accel support on Quake 2 first. If you want this game just let me know.

Would be nice if someone gives me a hand with this


Here's the .deb package:
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa..._0.1_armel.deb

Can someone tell me where to put the package so I can see it in my phone using application manager?

PD: Sorry for my bad english

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

looks good mate thanks

cant you just navigate to the deb file with the file manager and click it mate?? it should work with the latest firmware

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

@teemui:
open x terminal and exec "hexen2"

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Thanks, ill try to install it

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

did as you said it works nice, no lagging, no sound aswell, very playable

thanks!

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

also the menu keys are too small so its hard to change options and keys otherwise its really good

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I just tried it and it was really playablle :-) I have overclocked on 800 Mhz,working in full speed,tkans !

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Ok, got it running to menu but what keys are you using? Only key what's working for me is "enter".

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

ctrl is the action key, space bar is jump, key a is look up, key z is look down and arrow keys

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

For me work every keys...you can modificate them by your own in the menu...

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

yes those work in game, but how do you navigate in menu?

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I navigate with left,right,down,up.....That doesnt work you?

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

no, only way for me using the menu is with bluetooth keyboard. I tried every key from n900 own keyboard, only what works is enter, so i can get in game and there keys work :confused: :confused:

@hofman:
What key you are using to get to menu back when in game?

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

comma = escape
also you can configure keys in game settings

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

back key is over the up, i mean (,)

Did you tried reinstall,or any keys with fn?

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

for me to get to menu is fn and (,) key to get the equal button (=)

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I dont know how is default config,but for me works (,) :-)

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

first: this is awsome
second: I have sound

:)

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

i have overclocked and i have grat sound too :-)

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

not sure what the problem is, i have tried all the keys and combinations in menu and only key i can get working is enter, so i can get in game. While in game i can turn, jump and shoot, look up/down, but cant move forward or back... i think because the up and dwn arrows are behind fn button(finnish keyboard layout).
And i cant get to menu from game.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

So i dont know,what is wrong....try ask CepiPerez,he ported this game :-)

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Been trying to find a working Quake 2... Is it available?

Thx for the Hexen 2 release :)

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Try to select the english keboard layout and then start the game, maybe that will get it to work. I have to do this when i play super tux :)

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

This is pretty cool

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

That did the trick, thanks. Now it works good.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Hexen II ... hmmm ... that was build using the Quake II engine at the time, no?
Is this running with OpenGL accelerated graphics? That would be incredibly sweet!

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I've compiled this game too, but I'm testing accelerator
I'll release it when it's done

As the moment it's using SDL.
When I learn how to convert OpenGL to OpenGL ES I'll make an update.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Great stuff, looking forward to it :D been dying to get quake 2 also.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

is it in repository now??

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I think it is not, but i am not sure...just download .deb package in first post and follow that steps :-)

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

am having trouble installing the .deb

"short read in buffer_copy failed to write pipe in copy"
"backend dpkg-deb during 'use/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/hildon/hexen2.png'

Is it like having trouble copying the icon or something? :/, y just with me....

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

Without reading any posts THIS is a game where you could really use control options that a modern phone has. Tapping phone with stylus could work some staff-based magic, and multi-finger gestures make spells etc.

Re: Hexen 2 ported to maemo 5
 

I can't upload to repos
I get a lot of errors when I try to make the source package

Here's the source: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa...n2maemo.tar.gz

Can someone make it work?
Thanks in advance
