Playing The Main Game With Demoness?
A cross-platform port of Hexen II game.

I'm curious as to why the demoness isn't added to the list of characters when playing the main game when runninng -portals. It's possible to create shortcuts to play the main game using her and I've never noticed any bugs doing so.
Original game doesn't allow that through the menu system, so uHexen2 doesn't do it either. However, you can still enter "playerclass 5" on the console and start a map and you'll be playing with demoness class, provided that mission pack is active.
Alright I looked at the code and the fastest way of fixing this is to simply change line 801 and 826 to read:
f = MAX_PLAYER_CLASS;
instead of:
f = MAX_PLAYER_CLASS - PORTALS_EXTRA_CLASSES;
The other check will still work as intended, preventing her from showing up if you are not running in Portals.

You edit engine/h2shared/h2config.h and change DISALLOW_DEMONESS_IN_OLD_GAME definition from 1 to 0, and recompile.
Even easier. :) Where is the order of the New Game menu items at? I know menu.c has the order to show the strings for them but I'm not sure where they're ordered.
Look at M_SinglePlayer_Draw(), if I understand the question correctly.
Or, if you are looking for the class select menu, it is M_Class_Draw().
Within M_SinglePlayer_Draw(), it seems to just print the strings. Is it also getting a selection from this? What if I wanted to reorder the choices under this menu?
Sorry pal, if you want me to revisit the code for you
I can't do it right now. You have the source already,
so just follow the code :)
Figured it out and simplified the menu code in the process. Thanks for the help. I changed the number of savegames to 20 to match QuakeSpasm and enabled the Demoness on the original game. Also I used one of the nicer-looking icons for building in Windows which I've shared here.
