Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion for Linux

Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion is a modern source port of the classic first-person shooter game Hexen II.

It is designed for Linux users, but also supports BSD, Mac OS X, and Windows platforms.

This project updates the original game by fixing bugs and adding new features to improve the play experience.

These improvements include new sound modes, better mouse controls, enhanced video modes, and OpenGL glow effects.

The software requires that you own a copy of the original Hexen II game data to work.

You need to copy the game data folder named “data1” from your Hexen II installation into a specific folder created by Hammer of Thyrion on your computer.

If the game data is not found, the software will remind you to add it before playing.

Hammer of Thyrion continues the development of Hexen II on Linux and other platforms, filling a gap left since earlier source ports, like Anvil of Thyrion, were discontinued.

However, users should note that support is limited to Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and Windows.

The ongoing updates make it a safe choice for players wanting to enjoy Hexen II on modern systems, while benefiting from improvements made over the original game.
