Installation

How to install:

• Place the data folder in ux0: and place your data1 folder from your Hexen II purchased installation in ux0:/data/Hexen II.
• If you want to install also Portal of Praveus, copy also the portals folder to ux0:/data/Hexen II.
• If you have the Steam version of Hexen II, refer to this post.

How to use soundtrack:

• Soundtrack is supported in MIDI, OGG and MP3 formats.
• Files must be placed in ux0:/data/Hexen II/cdtracks and must be named for example as track00.ogg, track01.ogg, etc (case-sensitive).
• If you are extracting tracks from your Hexen II cd, this is the correspondence between track name and track filename:
  • track02 -> casa1
  • track08 -> egyp3
  • track14 -> roma3
  • track03 -> casa2
  • track09 -> meso1
  • track15 -> casb1
  • track04 -> casa3
  • track10 -> meso2
  • track16 -> casb2
  • track05 -> casa4
  • track11 -> meso3
  • track17 -> casb3
  • track06 -> egyp1
  • track12 -> roma1
  • track07 -> egyp2
  • track13 -> roma2

Custom Crosshair:

• Starting with vitaHexenII v.2.3, it will be possible to use a completely custom crosshair with the game.
• To do so, you should create a file named xhair.bin and place it in ux0:data/Hexen II/GAMEFOLDER folder (GAMEFOLDER will be data1 for main Hexen II for example).
• This file must contains 64 bytes that will define the 8x8 crosshair glyph. A byte set at 0xFE will mean a visible pixel. A byte set at 0xFF will mean an invisible pixel.
• The custom crosshair usage can be enabled in Options menu. If no xhair.bin is provided, when Custom crosshair will be set, QuakeWorld crosshair2 will be used.
• You can also alter crosshair color by setting these three values in config.cfg - crosshaircolor_r, crosshaircolor_g, crosshaircolor_b.
• By default these three values are set at 255, 255, 0.
