for those that may require help and for those that may wish to add this to the read me for the pandora versionI have a quick guide this is for those that have the cdrom version of the original game not the steam version.
I don't have the steam files to test, maybe someone wants to test for me to see if it works
the following is done using your PC/linux/mac not your pandora
1. download the corresponding version of the HeXen II engine from http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/ i.e. windows/linux/mac
2. un-zip/un-tar/install the download.
3. copy the pak0.pak and pak1.pak files from the cd rom folder /install/hexen2/data1
4. place the 2 pak files in ur HeXen II engine folder in /hexen2/data1
5. run h2launcher (should be in your HeXen II engine folder) a pop-up box will come up saying your pak files are not patched; it also asks if you would like them patching. select yes.
6. once the pak files have been patched close the pop-up box copy the entire contents of the data1 folder from your HeXen II engine folder to your memory card @ /media/<card name>/pandora/appdata/hexen2/data1
7. place the memory card back into your Pandora run the game from dektop or menu on your pandora.
fini
let me know if this works for anyone or also if this needs doing for the steam files.
When i run game with h2.exe from my Computer it gives me error that i must patch it with Ravens 1.11 update, as you can see it doesnt give me option to Update files. What should i do?
I downloaded engine, put pak files in data1 folder of engine, and started h2.exe (i dont have h2launcher.exe) and I dont know what to do next
Here is the screenshot:
I realize it's been over a year but just in case you still read the forum: for this issue (patching) I also was not asked to patch but got the patch error. SO, all I did was RUN the h2patch.exe in the \hexen directory and it patched the 2 pak files that I had copied from the original Hexen. Then running h2.exe worked fine. ;-)
