This release coincides with the 20th anniversary of the first Korax Mod release and as such includes some unique one-time content.
Korax Mod 1.0, the first ever gameplay mod for Hexen, was released exactly twenty years ago on June 14, 2001. To celebrate this occasion, a special 20th Anniversary Edition has been released today that includes a unique in-game menu called "Anniversary Extras", containing a short history of Korax Mod, a long-lost interview, and player feedback from the early years.
Improvements and fixes:
- The inventory and spellstrip movement bug has been finally fixed
- When RPG Complexity is set to Off, instead of the useless weight/hunger/fatigue indicators a new overlay is shown, displaying the current values of all six D&D abilities
- Healing prayer now doesn't deduct Faith if the player is at full health
- Create Mana cantrip now doesn't deduct Magic if the player has full mana stores
- The default roll is now more suitable for the early game
- Feedback messages for class abilities are now always displayed in the top left corner
- All class abilities now respect the sound setting
- Improved the behaviour of the gimme cheats for gaining levels and acquiring all class abilities
That initial area with the Ettins is way harder than vanilla Hexen, they take so many hits! I guess the mod starts the player weak to make the satisfaction of leveling up all the greater.
I wish I could turn off screen filtering entirely, though.
Sounds like you used a manual roll at character setup, which can make you end up with very low strength values (if you use the default roll instead, you'll start with 8 strength points).
That said, it'd be technically possible to have a weaker ettin subtype specifically for Winnowing Hall. Will think about it for the next release.
Regarding screen filtering effects, which one(s) specifically would you want to have an off switch?
Happy 20th anniversary, Korax Heritage! I always love your projects. Have a nice day and good luck for your next updates or new projects!
I've been following you guys for decades, it's so good to see you making releases! Keep up the great work!
Sorry to put this here instead of continuing the bug tracker thread, but your website bug tracker seems to have completely stopped working on all of my browsers.
Running into a serious showstopper of a bug where mouselook only works up and down, not left and right. And it's not an alt-tabbing problem, tapping alt doesn't fix this.
