A mod for Hexen 2 that adds weapon altfires and various balance tweaks, effects, bugfixes, & new features for mappers. This fork is based on the Shadows Of Chaos mod/mapset by Bloodshot, which is in turn based on the Game Of Tomes mod. Detailed description, credits, & instructions included in readme file.
Unzip the contents into your Hexen 2 directory so that there is an "soc" folder sibling to the data1 folder. To play, use the included .bat file or otherwise launch the game with the "-game soc" command. You can replay the vanilla game and user maps with the mod, or create new maps using the mod's various features. There are also a few releases that require the mod and use its' features. Install them into the mod's folder, without allowing any overwriting. The only conflict is that they include different Strings.txt, so you'll need to manage that file. If you don't plan on reading or modifying the mod's code, delete the "src" source code folder.
