Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion 1.5.0-rc1 for Mandriva Linux 2010.2
Hammer of Thyrion is a cross-platform port of Raven's Hexen II source.
In 2000, Raven Software released the source code to their class based shooter game Hexen II and its multiplayer extension HexenWorld. Since then, there has been some source ports of this game, such as the now discontinued Anvil of Thyrion project, but nothing has been done for Linux since the beginning of 2002.
The Hammer of Thyrion project is a cross-platform source port effort: We continue the development for Linux, BSD and Mac OS X people, with continued support for Windows users as well. Many bugs are fixed and even new features are added: New sound modes, improved mouse handling, improved video modes, OpenGL glows and more. You can go to our project page for more information.

Hammer of Thyrion (uHexen2) Features:
- Support for Hexen II, Hexen II demo, Portal of Praevus mission pack and HexenWorld.
- Cross-platform code: Tested on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OS X and Windows. Also reported to build and run fine on QNX and Nokia N770, N800 and N810. Other unices should also work. Even DOS is supported for nostalgic purposes. There are seperate ports to MorphOS, AmigaOS4, PalmOS, GP2X and Pandora.
- Tested on 32 bit and 64 bit platforms.
- In-game resolution changing for both opengl and software renderers. Instant fullscreen/windowed toggling on X11 (unix).
- OpenGL enhancements including multitexturing, glow effects, working brightness control, text and hud size changing on the fly, translucent console background, console background stretching, colored lights and support for external lit files, fixes for texture cache and model mesh cache mismatches.
- Fully network-compatible with Raven's 1.11 windows version as well as with other Hexen II ports. Can load and play games saved with Raven's 1.11 windows version.
- The same binary handles both original hexen2 and the mission pack.
