I'm not sure, but I'm pretty certain that there is a port of the source to Windows and OpenGL. It's very unlikely that there would be any advantage to using Glidos over a well done port of the source. You might want to look at GLquake or JDoom; one or other will lead you to Hexen.

Hang on, I think GLHexen is the port to OpenGL. It should just work without any need for Glidos.

Gah! People, it's GliDOS....DOS. Hexen II is a Windows-only title. GliDOS is for running DOS 3dfx titles in Windows.

Suggest you check the NewHexen source-port at:
http://www.raven-games.com/hosted/newhexen/

BUT - you could take a game, set it to look for the 3dfx minigl.dll, and then put OpenGlide in the same directory to wrap the Glide calls to OpenGL. eVoodoo has already proved they can do this with certain minigl.dll's and the latest, private version of eVoodoo (check their forums).

Not sure why you'd want to do this with OpenGlide. eVoodoo has reasons (some video cards have better Direct3D drivers than they do OpenGL drivers, not sure if there's ever the reverse)... and also, most games that use the miniGL will also gladly use a full openGL ICD or a non-3dfx minigl.dll...

Curious to hear Duffman's reasons. But yeah, NewHexen should be a good one. Maybe Duffman's mind was still thinking about Blood. 😀

If he's talking specifically about Hexen2, then that works with any OpenGL compliant video card.
TNT
TNT2
Geforce /2/3/4
Radeon

etc..

I know, I got the game, and I played it only 2 months ago.

If he means Hexen1 part2, then the only way of playing that is with the Jdoom ports using the Doomsday frontend.

sorry!, I meant GLhexen1 I made a type fault!:D 😁

what about GLquake is that the same

Originally posted by Duffman I meant GLhexen1...

Well, there was a source port of Hexen by the name of GlHexen; but it hasn't been updated for a looong time (in fact, the programmer has quit). Recommend that you check another source port at:
http://www.doomworld.com/ports/windows.shtml

My primary recommendation would be JHexen at:
http://www.doomsdayhq.com/

what about GLquake is that the same

No. Hexen was based on the DOOM engine. Quake (and Hexen II) were based on the original QUAKE engine.

See my post. Anyhow, search our forums for "Quake" and you'll see advice as to what the favorite Quake engine modifications are. I believe Tenebrae is quite popular.

So - no need for GLQuake. 😀

Tenebrae is fascinating technically, but it has the side effect of making everything look as if it were encased in some form of vinyl. It's also a framerate killer.

So far my favorite has been TomazQuake, but I always keep GLQuake.exe in the directory in case of any compatibility issues.
