Hammer of Thyrion is based on the original Linux Hexen II project, Anvil of Thyrion. It includes many bugfixes and some documentation.
It requires the Demo, the Retail version or the Portal of Praevus add-on to play.
Note that it is still work in progress but I was able to finish the game with a previous version.

Downloads:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/uhex … z?download
- The main source tarball containing hexen2, hexenworld, game launcher, hexen2 utilities, hexenworld utilities, documentation, and even some extra patches.

Hammer of Thyrion: Features

* Support for Hexen II, Hexen II demo, Portal of Praevus mission pack and HexenWorld.
* Tested on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Windows. The software renderer version is tested on QNX. Other unices should also work. There are seperate ports to MorphOS and PalmOS.
* Resolution changing on the fly for both opengl and software renderers. Instant fullscreen/windowed toggling on unix.
* OpenGL enhancements including multitexturing, glow effects, working brightness control, text and hud size changing on the fly, translucent console background, console background stretching, colored lights and support for external lit files, texture delete/reload support, fixes for texture cache and model mesh cache mismatches.
* The same binary handles both original hexen2 and the mission pack.
* The same hexen2 binary transparently handles both hexen2 v1.11 and h2mp v1.12 style progs.dat files.
* Fullscreen intermissions and help dialogs.
* MouseWheel support.
* Improvements and fixes to the HexenC game code.
* Improved sound support: A selection of three different sound drivers (ALSA, OSS and SDL) for Linux. FreeBSD is supported with OSS and SDL, OpenBSD and NetBSD are experimentally supported with sunaudio and SDL.
* Working music volume controls and on the fly selection of CD or MIDI music.
* Full user directories support under unix: all users have their own configuration files and game saves.
* Improved console functionality (inline editing and tab completion), and a maplist command.
* Several hexen2 utilities are maintained and are being kept up to date.
* Many bug fixes and other improvements.
