2xhexen2: Hammer Of Thyrion

[Adventus]

Thanks for the encouragement. I wouldn't be able to develop anything without a community like this.

Anyway heres the next public beta. I dont thinks its big enough to warrant a new news thread :

Binary: http://host-a.net/Adventus/2xHexen2%20v0.05%20PB2.zip
Source: http://host-a.net/Adventus/2xHexen2%20v0.05%20PB2%20Src.zip

Changes:
- I've added support for portals of praevus (actually this was working before you just could play the demoness character or play the intro.). I had to do a nasty hack to get this working, but it seems stable.
- You can now play the demoness character in the original missions.
- Model Caching. Improves loading speed (after initial level load anyway).
- Improved the general rendering speed.
- Improved the transparency rendering speed.
- Other minor things i can't remember.

At 275mhz, Ram timings ON, no music and Portals of Praevus installed i get 13 - 18 fps. It definitely feels 100% fullspeed with these settings.

PS: I STRONGLY advise you install the portals of praevus mission pack..... for some reason it improves the fps throughout the game about >10%. They probably optimised some models.

Thank you very much Adventus

One question: how can I install portals? I have pack0 and pack1 in data 1 folder.In my portals folder there is a pak3, must i put pak3 in data 1 folder besides pak0 and pak1? Thank you

Later tonight i will test it

Oh sorry, got distracted.

You already have a pak3 in your portals folder? In that case it should be installed. Make sure your executing the .gpu, it contains the command line option to enable portals. Incase somethings misplaced (and for all the other having trouble installing) heres the exact file structure im using (with portals & midi support):

[Rivroner]

Thank you, i have the same structure

I am gonna try it now

 

[bomberman]

It's easier to leave timidity in the root folder and point to it in the config.

dir /mnt/sd/timidity/

That way you only need one copy.

Added WIKI entry for this deserving port.
