Hexen 2 PlayerClasses Porting on GZDOOM Zandronum

Hexen 2 PlayerClasses Porting

This is the official release of the project that I mentioned before with another account and that now i'm really glad to announce.

Yes, what is this mod about?

The mod includes the player classes, part of the second chapter of the Raven Games' saga: Hexen 2. Playerclasses means: movements, attacks, resources needed, and also weapons.
What is peculiar of the project is that it uses actual 3d models animated in MODELDEF.

The project is meant as a resource pk3. Anyone who wants to map and use this classes can freely do it, provided that he gives the right credits to the author.

This is demonstration of the capabilities of the classic Doom ports, that I think I used to most of my knowledge.
Furthermore, this shows that a full porting of the game is indeed possible nowadays (huge amount of work, I know), that is highlighted by a little easter egg I put on the map. (will you be able to find it? 8-) )

Feel free to support, criticize, ask or even actively collaborate with me for new developments!

The releases for downloading are available below in the spoilers in two formats: the beta test release and the resource release, as i already mentioned.

I can explain it to you. I'll send you a private message. You 3d modelers are very precious to us.

Hey there. This looks really nice. Any chance you were going to add stuff from Heretic 2? Because I have done extensive work on porting Corvus and the other enemies from that game, but alone by myself, this is a colossally massive and difficult task.

Sounds interesting. Or maybe in the future? We could get our selves some Raven-accurate Hexen 2 sprites for this project!
