To play it you will need a copy of Hexen 2. It is recommended to play with the “Hammer of Thyrion” open source Hexen 2 port.
1. Get Hexen 2 set up:
1a. Download this port of Hexen 2 and extract the zip (this will be the main hexen2 game folder)
http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net (get the right version for your OS)
1b. Get the Hexen2 data files from your own copy of the game; copy the data files pak0.pak and pak1.pak into the hexen2 /data1/ folder
2. Download our game jam zip file and unzip it into the main hexen2 folder (so there is a folder called ocdjam in the hexen2 folder)
3. Download a launcher bat file and place into the ocdjam folder. Then just run that to launch the game!
Windows: https://github.com/hooby3dfx/hexen2ocdjam/blob/master/winlaunch.bat
Mac: https://github.com/hooby3dfx/hexen2ocdjam/blob/master/maclaunch.sh (cd into the hexen2/ocdjam dir, then run with "sh maclaunch.sh")
4. Adjust the game settings:
- Video settings: change the resolution to something that works/looks well for you, and consider fullscreen. Highly recommend low res such as 640x480 scaled fullscreen with aspect ratio preserved (not stretched to wide screen).
- Audio settings: make sure audio is set to 'all codecs' and the music volume is up!
- Controls: recommend using: wasd, mouse look on, and q/e for item prev/next, and r to activate item, c crouch, space jump
