What is UHexen II : Hammer of Thyrion
-----------------------------------
Hammer of Thyrion is a cross-platform port of Raven Software's Hexen II source
to support Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, QNX, other unices, Mac OS X and Windows. It
is based on the initial linux port Anvil of Thyrion by Dan Olson and Clément
Bourdarias, and is hacked by Steven Atkinson, O. Sezer and Levent Yavas.

The AmigaOS4 port is done by HunoPPC.


REQUIREMENTS :
-------------------
- AmigaOS 4.1 update 2 (with OpenGL compatible graphic card for harware
Rendering)
- Datas files from Hexen II (pak0.pak and pak1.pak to put in PROGDIR:data1/)


RELEASE NOTES for Hexen 2 v1.4.4 pre 9 (AmigaOS4 version)
-----------------------------
- Four versions included :
-> two software rendering versions (one with MIDI music and one with Sound
effects) 
-> two OpenGL rendering versions (one with MIDI music and one with Sound
effects)
- New static SDL lib for fixing the fullscreen/window mode => And for fullscreen
now use ALT+F12.
- Fix LAN and multiplayer code for OS4 (not intensively tested)
- Fix endianess problems
- Fix keymap for os4
- addon "Portal of Praevus" supported (not intensively tested) 

- tested on AOS4.1 update 2 (untested on AOS4.0 and AOS4.1) 
- tested on SAM ep440 667 Mhz with 64Mo, SAM Flex 800 Mhz  (with ATI Radeon 9250
128Mo) and AmigaOne XEG4 800 Mhz (with ATI Radeon 9000 pro 128Mo)
- report bugs to HunoPPC at http://www.clubevolution4.com/HunoPortSDL/

Recommended version to play : either software or harware rendering versions with
sound effects (MIDI is really just a hack, you have been warned !)


BUGS :
-----------------------------
- not really a bug but a limitation : it is not possible to have MIDI music and
Sound effects at the same time (mixing sdl_audio with sdl_mixer does not work;
one solution could be to use openal for sfx and sdl_mixer for midi)
- Joystick support not implemented (yet)
- in HW rendering mode, the screen gets very dark
