Hexen 2 Source Code Released

November 10, 2000 11:14 AM

Raven Software has released the full source code to Hexen 2, the FPS based on the Quake1 engine. Gamespy has an article and Fileplanet has the download. This is what Raven's Rick Johnson had to say about the release

The download contains both the Hexen 2 Mission Pack: Portal of Praevus source code plus the HexenWorld multiplayer source code. All of the code was last compiled under Visual C V5.x, so it might take a little work to get them to compile under VC++ 6.x.

Go forth and hax0r.

    Definitely the coolest developers to regularly post on the shack..
    
    actually, I think there should be a poll about this.

      14...but we already know there will be a SOF 2. But with what engine? Q3 or the new id engine? hehehe Or...Raven might be doing their own this time. I'd still like to see Hexen 3 and another completely new franchise perhaps.

    #12: Personally, I would like to do an RTS game. Though right now, at home, I'm starting on a Game Boy Color game. Not sure where that will go - will probably just release it on the net for free.

      #16...cool, a Raven RTS could be quite badass. Sounds interesting. Curious though...what setting would you like to use? Space...Fantasy...War?

      Ummmm No. You need to offer your support to the 3drealms guys to help get Duke 4 Ever out.
      
      3dRealms needs to take some lessons from Raven. You guys have released what 5 games in between the two Dukes?
