Hammer of Thyrion for Debian
----------------------------

This is the engine only, in order to play the game you need the game data.
Game data can be installed:

- Using game-data-packager, this is the recommended way to get the game working.
  See #733750 for details.

- Alternatively copy the original game data (data1/pak0.pak and data1/pak1.pak) to
  /usr/share/games/hexen2/data1.


How to patch Gamedata to 1.11
-----------------------------

if your pak0.pak and pak1.pak files are from version 1.03 (original cdrom version)
of the game, you must patch them to 1.11

There are a couple of ways to accomplish that

- Use game-data-packager, this is the recommended way.

  Manual patching instructions follow

- run the upgrade-111.sh script on examples directory, as root.

- run h2patch as root

- patch the files from h2launcher menu

- use xdelta to patch forward the files:

Online Play
-----------

There is a community around http://hexenworld.org/ which plays Hexen II online

Quoting dustin samko:

If you install XQF, configure it for hexen2 & hexenworld, then choose the "Add
Master" option. You can add the following "http" lists and you will be able to
query hexen2 & hexenworld servers:

Hexen II: http://hexenworld.org/hexen2
HexenWorld: http://qtracker.com/server_list_details.php?game=hexenworld

I'm only able to pull traffic stats for the hexen2 list and we're getting
multiple users who query it daily across the world :)

PS: On Saturdays you'll see up to 3 live servers, that's when we normally
play. Feel free to join in anytime :)
