Opulent Posted September 6, 2014 ==================================================== Opulent's Hexen: Beyond Heretic demoset - 9/5/2014 Hexen is nearly 19 years old now. It was initially released on October 30, 1995. I have more FPS playback demos than anyone else; and even I only have 23 Hexen demos. That's it, 23 demos in 19 years. So here's 57 more Hexen demos, including the first-ever recorded full maxdemos of all 9 Iwad hubs and a full-game demo of Deathkings of the Dark Citadel expansion. I don't expect anyone else to record Hexen demos, but hopefully someone enjoys something from this long-overdue demoset.

plums Posted September 6, 2014 Well this is an unexpected surprise. I will definitely give them a watch soon. Hexen has had poor port support especially for demos, single-level demos are impractical, and it just lacks the popularity of Doom or even Heretic is seems. I'm sure all of those play a factor in the lack of demos for it. I think it's a great game though, and so I'm excited to see these. It would be good to have the missing demos on this board, but as long as you long into your Mediafire account semi-regularly, the files should stay where they are. I have stuff on Mediafire that is a few years old, for which links still work. 0 Share this post Link to post
GoneAway Posted September 6, 2014 google drive and dropbox are both free places to store demos and provide download links that never expire (afaik), fyi. Nice to see some hexen stuff at any rate :) 0 Share this post Link to post
redlid Posted September 18, 2014 how is this hexen plus supposed to work? It doesn't seems to like windows 8.1 with limited account at all and none of the compatibility modes either. What version should I download and how to install it? 0 Share this post Link to post
Opulent Posted September 19, 2014 Hexen is a 16-bit DOS game from 1995. In short, your current 64-bit OS(with limited win32 compatibility built-in) isn't capable of running the game. You need a better computer. But a more constructive response would be to suggest running Hexen(or install DOS6.22(or similar)) with Microsoft Virtual PC(supports 2d graphics only) or Microsoft HYPER-V(if your OS/computer supports it), Dosbox(or similar), or a virtual machine hosting tool like VMWare(or similar). For more drastic/serious people out there, I recommend getting rid of the nearly useless Windows7/8 OS for the far more functional WindowsXP. I recommend installing that on a separate hard drive... especially since your hardware may not support WindowsXP(although it probably does). This way you can always 'revert' back to windows8.1 by booting to the other hard drive. I do not recommend dual booting. Personally, unless you have access to vSphere or some other more capable virtual machine environment, I would try Dosbox first for this particular problem. I've never used it outside of Duke3d support, so I have little advice beyond giving it a try. Lastly, I realize that this was not the answer you wanted to hear; but DOOM and Hexen are DOS games. I'm assuming Chocolate-hexen works on your computer. Chocolate-Hexen is capable of playing back single-map demos that are recorded with Chocolate-Hexen or the real game(not hexenplus necessarily). And I'm sure you know you need the IWAD resource file(s) to playback these demos. 0 Share this post Link to post
redlid Posted September 19, 2014 Sure, every doom port works on windows 8.1, including prboom, zdoom, doomsday, doom legacy etc. but this is really first of its kind which definetly refuses to load up this being doomplus based. So this doesn't have any kind of modern Windows-support and I should install some relics like Windows Xtra Shit or Win98? 0 Share this post Link to post
PVS Posted November 12, 2016 Great demoset Opulent! I download it some time ago and sometimes watching this demos. Many demos an hour long, nees time for this. I'm very interesting - how you recorded one demo with time 3 hours 22 minutes? :) I'm also have interest for Hexen demos in original format, you have any records, than presents in this demoset? Also, maybe you have new demos for Heretic in original format? Chocolate Hexen now have extended demo support, need watch the latest unstable builds and test for desync problems. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's a shame we live so far apart, we could play some coop or deathmatch Heretic/Hexen. 0 Share this post Link to post
JCD Posted December 20, 2016 Hi, Maybe I can put this demo here. Ch0wW and I recorded a run of hexen on our modified DOS executable (to enable multi-level, maxdemo and more) I hope you can playback it with hexen-plus If not, here is a YT link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyYL_R_R-Aghx4j1617.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted December 20, 2016 Wait wait, what happens at the end of Shadow Wood? The pigs help you get through the door somehow? Very entertaining run overall, lots of hilarious tricks like spawning a maulotaur to jump on his head and neat little details like clearing the area while the other player is doing something important. 0 Share this post Link to post
